George Osborne: Don’t Cut Personal Independence Payment
I know a few people were horrified at the cuts to disabled benefits in Osborne's budget, so some may want to sign a petition urging him to think again.
It's a single issue petition so you wouldn't be voting against the tory party (or supporting any other party) - it's a simple request to Osborne to scrap his cuts to essential assistance for disabled people.

Cheers CCMBers :-)

Thankfully I've got a Labour MP.
Stephen Crabb is a real slimy character.

I've got Nick Clegg.
I doubt he voted for the cuts, but that doesn't excuse 5 years of spineless collaboration with the Tories.
When I see him I must make a point of telling him that TH63 is very disappointed in him!

Voted! This just confirms what I have always said and thought, evil, evil Torries. How any fellow human being can support this is despicable.

I also signed it earlier.
Glad to see that a lot of other people feel the same way.

On beeb it's reported that its being reconsidered officially. Expect this to be dropped next week.
Cuts to unemployment benefits to encourage people to work might be contentious, but they can have an impact. No cuts to disability benefits will have any effect on anyone's disability, only make it worse. Target those that can do something about the life they are in, not those that have no choice.

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has resigned over "indefensible" changes to disability benefits.

That bastard was in favour of these cuts earlier.
Seeming populist now that Dave and Gideon look like being forced to back off?
Cynical bugger.
