For many voters, the more they see the rich getting richer, and the poor getting (apparently) shafted, the more they'll think 'they are all the same', the more the personality of the leaders will become important.

I don't care one iota how rich the rich get, and neither should anyone else. It's how the poor are doing which counts.

Well we are not doing so well under this Labour party, better then the Tories your going to say well not the way things are going up. Prices are rising but sadly for me my benefits are going down. I hear it now get a  job you lazy git, well sadly I have just gone through the pathways to work new regime to be told my disability means I'll not be called again.

Seems no legs still make me disabled beyond the work ethics of employers. So back to doing voluntary work.

It is sad that people think all disabled sit down all day, well I do OK I have to, it's called a wheelchair.

I've spent four years of looking for work and have yet to find one offer, each week I spend two hours twice a week at the job center, I spent hours writing letters.

I do not normally tell people this but here goes, my accident in 1990 was all over TV radio it was called a major incident, the fire service air sea rescue all involved.

I fell 96 landing on my feet, I broke almost everything you can name spent eighteen months laying in hospital with traction pulling my body back into shape.

But thats nothing I damaged my spinal cord, again bad but I can cope, the problems are I damaged my liver my kidneys my bowel and my bladder pushing everything high up into my body cavity, I was having pints and pints of blood pumped into me and was urinating them back out. I was so near to death. Then I had MRSA which affected my legs badly and they are now a waste of space.

But believe it or not I love the social interaction of working with people sitting at home looking at a computer is not what I want.

But lets get this straight I live each day as it comes, not thinking about tomorrow it might not come, my liver problems are now called acute.

IN October of 2008 I will have a new medical which will ask me to move a computer mouse, it can be with a finger, my nose or my penis, if I can move that mouse and put a pointer on a computer screen into a box, everyone who can do this will be deemed able to work.


Does not matter if you have no legs no arms you will get Job seekers allowance and your benefits will drop from £87 a week to £57 a week, but I will still have no job.

Thats the sad thing this is about benefit cuts not getting people back to work.

We disabled people are now seen as the reason for all the woes of the world, we are all benefits frauds, or swindling or getting everything for free.

One lady once asked me how do you live with your self you get free cars, free electric, free gas, free water, she said I get nothing.

I get nothing free at all I pay for everything because my benefits incapacity benefits is not means tested, and all I get is £87 a week not £300 ==£87.
