The Government is Retarded

I read Dan's post on the retrospectively applied charges for residential care which came from Fergus Finlay's article on the same and decided to raise awareness of the latest round of of fuck-knucklery to assail the weaker members of this society. Independently living people with learning disabilities are not only having HALF THEIR WELFARE taken in charges, the charges are being APPLIED RETROSPECTIVELY so that families are suddenly being hit for thousands of euro. I THINK THIS NEEDS A COLLECTIVE FUCK-OFF RIGHT NOW.

Please read the above articles and use a button to link to the petition on your blog, and of course, sign it.
