Welfare, Conditional Citizenship and the Neuroliberal State – Conference Presentation Written by Kitty S Jones politicsandinsights.org/2016/10/11/welfare-conditional-citizenship-and-the-neuroliberal-state-conference-presentation/"Conference paper from 2016. My conclusion was that we can't address economic and sociopolitical problems using a 'scientific' therapeutic frame work embedded in a perspective of competitive individualism, because it reinforces a damaging ideology, holding people responsible for structural oppression and circumstances they have little control over and isolates citizens. I think psychology should examine the political and foster collectivism rather than simply emphasising 'objective' individualism. It should seek to also address alienation and wider patterns of oppression."

Reducing immigration will collapse the Welfare State, it won’t help it… Posted by ADSINISTRAMUK on DECEMBER 16, 2018 ‘Schrodinger’s immigrant’. Like the cat in the box, this migrant is both everywhere and nowhere, somehow managing to simultaneously steal jobs from hardworking Brits and scrounge off the benefits system. "There is no solid evidence that current levels of immigration are harmful, in fact, quite the contrary. They’re not taking your job, they’re not driving down wages and they’re not pushing the NHS and schooling to breaking point, chronic underfunding and regressive policy is doing that, if anything immigrants have been propping it up. The Tories are all about the reduction of State. Their ethos is that healthcare, education, social care and pretty much all public services should be controlled by the market. They are defunding, restructuring, and demoralising our public services whilst blaming immigrants for the extra “pressure” being felt as a result. This is the will of capitalists with vested interests in keeping wages down, in profiting from privatisation of run down public services, who are currently enjoying massive tax cuts to the detriment of the many while their own private portfolios swell. The same people who are represented by the Tory party and whose narrative is pushed by a largely right-wing, non-tax paying billionaire led media." adsinistramuk.wordpress.com/2018/12/16/reducing-immigration-will-collapse-the-welfare-state-it-wont-help-it/

Tory austerity has killed more people than ISIS: Austerity as State-terrorism by TJ Coles Sun 19th Nov 2017 londonprogressivejournal.com/article/view/2837/tory-austerity-has-killed-more-people-than-isis-austerity-as-stateterrorism"Home Secretary, now-PM Theresa May, said in 2014: “ ISIL and its western fighters now represent one of the most serious terrorist threats we face.” The attacks that followed, attributed to Islamic State such as the Manchester bombing, appear to prove May’s point. But let’s put aside the fact that under May, the alleged suspect Salman Abedi had travelled to Libya and let’s also put aside the fact that his father, Ramadan, was an MI6 operative hired to overthrow the secular Gaddafi regime in the 1990s. Between 2014 and 2016, Islamic State allegedly murdered over 1,200 people outside Iraq and Syria. In England alone, however, the Conservative government led by May and continuing policies enacted by David Cameron, has killed over 45,000 people as a direct result of austerity. It will have killed a minimum 150,000 by the year 2020. This level of state-violence makes ISIS look small by comparison."

The DWP is facing Universal Credit court action from over 150 people www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2020/02/20/the-dwp-is-facing-universal-credit-court-action-from-over-150-people/"The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is facing yet another legal case. But this time is different. Because a group over 150 disabled people are taking action against it. And the law firm acting for them want more people affected to come forward. The DWP: universal chaos As The Canary previously reported, the DWP has been in court over Universal Credit. It relates to sick and disabled people losing money when they move onto the new benefit. Enhanced Disability Premiums (EDP) and Severe Disability Premiums (SDP) are benefits that give disabled people with high support needs extra money. But under Universal Credit, they don’t exist. Instead, claimants get different payments based on their circumstances. But the loss of EDPs and SDPs has been contentious. In a case in the High Court, a claimant argued that they lost nearly £180 a month when the DWP put them on Universal Credit. This was because they had a change of circumstance. The claimant moved house." Rest in Link
