i was reading a news paper today when i was drawn to a piece that really angred me
but before i show you the piece i thought i would give you some background on the subject !.......over here in england we have a tv programme called big brother ( 14 people locked in a house for 13 weeks) and one of the people has tourette syndrome.
here's how it reads
"we all knew that depression and stress had become the new backache for the work shy and the benefit scroungers --- but i was left literally speechless by the news that people are using tourette syndrome as the new excuse to sponge off the rest of us.
it would appear that as long as you can do a half passable impression of big brother's pete, youre on to a life of luxury living off the taxpayer
and make no mistake incapacity benefit isn't just for christmas, its for life.
more then 60 per cent of those claiming it for over five years have never had a proper medical assessment.
i ******* dont know about you but ****** **** that makes me ******* angry "
that was the piece that made me feel sooooo angry as i now feel like a fake a scronger for having depression, i am claiming incapacity benefit but its not because i want to , it because i have no other money coming in ,after my sick pay ran out.
but now after reading that i feel im being watch by everyone , being pointed at by people , thinking im fakeing everything ....
yes there are some people who throw sickies from work saying that they are stressed or depressed by to paint so many with the same brush ( 60 % ) i find this outrageous.
and in closing i just want to say that i have emailed this newspaper letting them know how i feel about this piece.
