DPAC Asking For URGENT Online Action To Get Question Raised At Next PMQs

October 18, 2015

An urgent appeal for online action from DPAC.

We need Jeremy Corbyn to ask the following question at this week’s PMQs and to try to make sure that happens we’re asking all of you to contact him and ask him to raise the issue of the UN inquiry into the grave and systematic violations of disabled people’s human rights.

You can email him at corbynj@parliament.uk

Or tweet to him @jeremycorbyn

Also submit it to this address as well

http://www.labour.org.uk/page/s/question-for-david-cameron

Our question is below.

“The United Kingdom is currently being investigated by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities because of allegations of “grave and systematic” violations of disabled people’s human rights. Shamefully we are the First Country ever to face such an inquiry. The Inquiry itself is has been widely reported in the press and DWP have confirmed the inquiry was initiated by the campaign group Disabled People Against Cuts.

Will the Prime Minister now commit to the government publishing in full the findings of the committee when the report is sent to the government next year?

    My specialty topic has always been forensic pathology and what i have always wonted to understand is how so many hundreds of sick and disabled people have come to die so soon having been told that they were fit for work

    The main questions that Jeremy Corbyn needs to ask are how did these deaths come about

    was is just bad luck or did gross negligence play a part also was there criminal negligence at work here whereby the DWP or agents working on their behalf set out to kill vulnerable people through stress /shock? which knowingly would expedite their death by causing their health to deteriorate

    Those most at risk would be those with mental condition’s that would have been taking a range of medication like

    Risperidone Olanzapine Quetiapine Ziprasidone Aripiprazole Paliperidone Lurasidone

    also they would not have been sleeping to well and may quite well have been taking medication (such as Zopiclone or Zolpidem) the preferred drugs for insomnia.

    They may have also had other medical condition’s like heart /lung/kidney/liver and the drugs for these condition’s would put them in a very vulnerable condition to any type of added stress

    Any type of added alcohol to this mix would prove fatal i believe as those with mental health long term condition’s also suffer from depression and these types of antidepressants are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These include: Fluoxetine Citalopram Sertraline Paroxetine Escitalopram

    The correct procedure here is for a autopsy to be carried out so that the relatives would know what led up to the death of their loved one and on how and why they have died and that them being told they were fit for work was a lie as they clearly weren’t hence their death

    Hopefully all sick and disabled people along with their carers reading this will make sure that if their loved one dies through DWP stress that they get an autopsy carried out as that and that alone will be key in any prosecution that they may wish to follow up on

    i have only touched on a very small analyses group of people of which i have a full understanding of that type of person but in going forward Jeremy Corbyn needs to make sure that the government are fully transparent on all DWP related deaths and that the public are fully kept up to date and briefed so that these deaths stop and that they stop now

    I am thinking that even if cameron agrees at this moment in time (or whenever Jeremy asks the question) to publish such findings. he will not do so when the time comes. i do not know what powers the UN have in this matter. (no one else seems to know either it seems,) but why would they give that report to cameron knowing he will do nothing about it and probably not tell those he considers beneath him what it contains.hopefully copies will be sent to other more trustworthy bodies. Oh that the UN had the power to pluck cameron, IDS, grayling,and the rest from out their seats in parliament and drop them on their butts in separate prison cells to await trial.on bread and water.(and lucky to get that) ,with no representation (as grayling as done to so many of those who cant afford to pay for it) Alas tis but a dream that many others are possibly dreaming.
