Well well, would you believe it, ATOS told fibs, this and
the government's idiotic blindness to their failings, allowed ATOS to
make millions from tax payers money, as it humiliated, harassed and
stressed, our most sick and vulnerable.
ATOS made
millions from their brutal treatment of the disabled as they carried
out the government's Work Capability Assessment scheme. Eventually
they had to pull out this lucrative adventure, because of all the bad
publicity highlighted by such bodies as Glasgow Against ATOS, and
others. Of course undaunted they set about getting their hands on
another bundle of tax payers money, knowing that their buddies in The
Westminster Houses of Hypocrisy and Corruption, would overlook the
brutal chaos they left in their wake, with the last contract. Just
shove in a phoney tender and hey presto, another contact, in the form
of Personal Independence Payments, PIPs, and another stash of tax
payers money pops into your bank account.
"Atos stated in its tender document that it had 'contractual agreements' in place with a national network of 56 NHS hospitals, 25 private hospitals and over 650 physiotherapy practices to provide assessments. This turned out not to be true.Will there be fraud charges to follow? I doubt it very much. The bunch of thugs in the Cameron millionaire cabal go into an apoplectic fit, when they even think of someone who may have cheated on their benefit claim, but it is just a finger wagging when corporate bodies plunder the public purse for millions.
All this back scratching between our governing body of
Oxbridge millionaires, and their buddies, corporate CEO's, at no time
benefits the ordinary people, it is just a scheme for transferring
public money to corporate bank accounts. Cutting benefits,
traumatising the disabled, closing Remploy, getting people to work
without a wage, will do nothing to improve the social fabric of our
society, but it does make a lot of money for the private bodies paid
by tax payers money, to carry out these policies. Isn't time we
asked, “what's in it for us?”
