But this isnt about that. This is about forcing people who arent fit for work into work, and free work at that.

Vicky, I really worry for the future of this country. We really need rid of this government, they are attacking the weakest members of our society and unlike in times past we no longer have the philanthropists to offset those hellbent on deepening the us / them divide.
I found this article whilst trying to find info on ATOS on the Joseph Rowntree foundation website...
