It's disgraceful that a country as rich as ours refuses to provide the bare minimum to live on for those that need it. I'm so sick of this ideology. When you look at other countries in Western/Northern Europe we're basically a 3rd world country.

My partner keeps having seizures at work but has to go in because he doesn't qualify for PIP. His employer doesn't really know how to handle it, because why would they, and I have to miss work every time the hospital phones me up with him in their care. Fuck this country, fuck the rich.
