DPAC and supporters met in Regent's Place beside Euston Tower
and then made their way the few yards to the Atos HQ in Triton Square
with the banner 'One death is one too many'
which on its other side lists around a hundred of those killed by
DWP sanctions and by benefit cuts
and began their very loud protest outside the Triton offices
You can just see the Atos logo if you looke carefully at top left,
but they keep it as quiet as possible
'Cuts Kill' and they really have killed many, particularly many disabled
people
who have been targeted for special attention by the DWP. Iain Duncan
Smith obviously thought they would
be an easy target, but they have proved him wrong. Even so after IDS
left highly discriminatory policies have
continued. A security man stops Paula Peters from entering the offices
and the doors are then locked
'I'm Discus-ted With Atos'. This protest is a part of the week of
action to coincide with the London World Para Athletics Championships
which they say the government uses to suggest they are on the side
of the disabled while at the same time they
are trying to kill them off by cutting benefits using fake tests and
sanctions.
Atos so obviously failed with their administration of work capability
assessments that these had to be taken away from
them - and were rewarded by a huge contract to steal Personal Independence
Payments from those who clearly need them.
