I find this absolutely terrifying. And we all know what this means - pushing disabled people into jobs that aren’t at all suitable, by stopping their disability payments. As for the claim they’re going to increase mental health services to get the mentally ill back into work, well just read my previous posts about what NHS therapy is like. It’s worse than useless, to the extent that my therapist refused to give me real therapy, saying there’s no point in my case, and me committing suicide seems like a reasonable plan. That’s NHS therapy for you! These things are never about helping the disabled, they’re always about the economy. While those in charge live like kings.

    And there’s plenty of jobs to go around that disabled people could do? It wouldn’t just be writing a thousand resumes and facing decades of rejection even if you could survive?

    Fuck me, here I thought medicine in Germany was bad. TERF island is really doing its damn best to sink into the ocean, isn’t it?

    My deepest sympathies comrade, I hope you can find physicians and therapists that don’t deserve to be dipped in lava.

    Let me guess their excuse: “But we thought that disabled people are not productive due to our unproven naived egotistical assumption.” “We cannot spend money or accommodation to provide actual help to disabled because the one of the countries with the greatest wealth, rule of law, and democracy could not afford it.” “We assume that our faulty apporach that will not offended rich free riders is the best approach to help the disabled.” “Other countries have worse or worser treatment towards the disabled according to our claim that lost its credibility from our hypocrisy.”
