The government has proposed some massive welfare reforms. So massive that half the MPs won’t support it when the vote comes on Tuesday. Which, with a majority in the House of 943, will be something much more than a mere embarrassment for the PM. More than humiliation. It will be a much more Trumpian ‘obliteration’ and ‘devastation’. The government’s bunker will be well and truly busted. Yet the plan has its merits.

It will save 5billion quid in Welfare payments. Which, and I’m no mathematician, I reckon will produce approximately 5billion quid less payments to those receiving welfare benefits. Give or take. And that will buy quite a few new bombs and missiles, which Kier promised to NATO this week. Sacrificing the poor and disabled on the alter of Donald Trump. What’s the problem with that?

But I’ve seen further conspiracy in this. You just have to look a little… deeper! Put on your Paranoid hat, embrace your inner Piers Corbyn or Robert F. Kennedy and just let it flow.

The welfare payments affect two groups; the lazy and the sick. The lazy don’t want to work and why should they when we’re happy (?) to pay for all the beer, fags and tattoos they need. So we’ll pull the plug on them, force them to get off their sorry, saggy arses and make them get poorly paid jobs. Which has the double bonus of saving us from paying their rent every month AND taxing the shit out of their meagre wages as well!! They’ll end up £12,843.77 worse off than if they’d stayed on benefits, but we, as a nation, will be much better off, and that’s what counts.

The sick are different. Long-term, even life-long, disability creates special needs and requirements, currently funded by the PIP (personal independence payment) scheme. Without which most disabled wouldn’t be able to cope financially. So we strip that from them, tell them to ‘just fucking man-up, will you??’, and we win again.

Plus, for those unable to cope with the mental strain of having their very lives ripped out from under them, there’s always the assisted dying bill, coming to a parliament near you real soon. And we ALL know where that leads. From all those specific and stringent criteria, exams by doctors, terminal illness, ability to self-administer, approval by judges, etc, etc; it’ll soon loosen up so anyone can top themselves anytime they like, or any time the welfare cuts become too much. There’ll be ‘assisted dying’ shops opening on every high street, (half price drugs-of-death on Mondays!!!), and Amazon will be delivering end-of-life packages free with (fucking) Prime.

Not saying that’s what’s going to happen, just that IT COULD!

With this brutal, meritocratic, heartless government, led by a flaccid and wooly nonce.

Happy Thursday
