Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Just when you thought the DWP couldn't be any more sh*tty towards unpaid carers than they have been, they've threatened those considering appealing the fines levied against them, that an appeal might open them up to even greater penalties....

This is inhumanity and a compassion bypass that is becoming truly staggering.

Unpaid carers should be cherished & supported not punished - the DWP should be thanking & helping them, not taking them to court!

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the same approach taken by the Post Office.

Agreed, its very much an issue of contempt for the tribulations of normal people & a callousness that is endemic among some public institutions

@ChrisMayLA6 It's a strange thing to unlearn, having to censor yourself to avoid an algorithm from hiding your posts. Don't worry, still affects many here.
