More from Glasgow's dirty washing on The Green last Saturday August 3rd. lifted straight from Glasgow Against ATOS, with a couple of photos.
The Power Of The Pen!
Resistance comes in all different forms. For people who aren’t
able to make it to our meetings or protests there are other ways you can
help build the campaign. Send us your articles on news developments
about the cuts (particularly those affecting the sick and disabled) or
letters of your personal experiences of the Work Capability or Personal
Independence Payment assessments. Include in your email if your happy
for them to be published on our blog spot. Please send these to
glasgowagainstatos2012@gmail.com
Norman Dickson has been sending us his poems to help spirit the fight back. Three of these are included below.
GAA calls for resistance to the cuts on all fronts!
MURDER BY SIGNATURE
( ATOS AND THE BEDROOM TAX )
ITS CALLED MURDER BY SIGNATURE,
A COWARDS FARAWAY DECREE,
HIDDEN IN AN OFFICE SOMEWHERE,
NEVER TO WITNESS OR SEE.
THE MISERY, THE DYING..
THE GRIEF AND THE PAIN,
THE RELATIVES LIVES RUINED,
A WELFARE STATISTIC ERASED.
GENOCIDE
( 21st Century Style )
(IAN DUNCAN SMITH )
HE SHOWS ALL SIGNS OF A PSYCHOPATH.
AS HE VILIFIES THE ILL.
THOSE ON JOBSEEKERS ALLOWANCE..
AND ALMOST EVERY OTHER THING.
A FAILED LEADER AND POLITICIAN,
DEFINITELY A FAILURE AS A MAN.
HIS NAZI LIKE POLICIES..
DESIGNED ONLY TO KILL.
THERE SHOULD BE AN EPITAPH..
BUILT VERY HIGH,
WITH NAMES OF THE DEAD AND DYING.
TILL IT REACHES THE SKY.
OVER 10,000 AT LAST COUNT.
AND ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
EACH AND EVERY POLITICIAN..
THE QUESTION THEY SHUN.
ITS THE 21ST CENTURY
AND ONLY 68 YEARS ON.
FROM BELSON AND AUSWITCH..
BUT GENOCIDE LIVES ON.
ITS HERE IN THE UK.
HIDDEN BEHIND LIES.
SPUN BY EVIL PEOPLE.
AS ANOTHER ONE DIES.
ITS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY..
WILL THE HAGUE TURN AWAY ?
OR WILL THE COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS..
BE BUSY THAT DAY ?
I AM HUMAN
My legs may not work.
But my pain is real.
It's not the money,
Its my dignity,
That with hatred,
They steal.
Im a person.
Not a number.
My family they care,
Love it is real.
Not your accountants,
Cold stare.
You've destroyed the soul.
Of 10,000 now dead,
But those left behind..
I will tell you its said,
We will not lay down,
Our legacy will fight,
In 2015 you'll be ousted
You shite.
The future will speak..
In dignified refrain,
We are people not numbers,
The determination remains,
So hang your head parliament,
Each and every mp,
You turned away and let horror decree,
Where were you GPs,
When we needed you there,
Deny genocide ...I ask if you dare.
