We have all been disappointed over the last few days by the case of the disappearing DWP ESA Sanctions leaflet-first it was there, then it was gone. The DWP link tells us that the leaflet is coming soon, but what happened to the original?
A few of us had seen the leaflet before it was removed and noted that the DWP were using photos and examples, apparently in an effort to appear humane ( stop laughing).
One of the examples: Sarah’s story, happily tells of her being sanctioned for two weeks because she didn’t see the value of completing her CV as ordered by the DWP Job Centre goons. Sarah is almost in raptures as she recounts how she’s learned her lesson and recognises the error of her wilful ways-she’s grateful for losing 2 weeks of her ESA and for being sanctioned- the moral is: its good to be punished and put on the right path by potential starvation when you’ve already been told you’re not fit for work after a dehumanising assessment by Maximus . See excerpt from original leaflet below
But there was a problem which the DWP seems to have recognised- no, not that ESA is about being unfit for work-but that smiling Sarah with her remarkable tale of the kindly people at the job centre probably doesn’t exist other than as a stock photo. Here she is again, this time as a cover girl for the despised Universal Credit ‘standing out from the crowd’ at https://dailyjobseeker.tumblr.com/post/101666827899/standing-out-from-the-crowd
We are quite used to this kind of behaviour from the Daily Mail who use actors to pose as ‘benefit scroungers’ for their readers
but then there isn’t that much difference between the lies of the Mail and the lies of the DWP is there? See DPAC’s DWP caught giving disability propaganda to Daily Mail
Naturally DPAC has the original DWP ESA Sanctions leaflet which also features the story of Zac. It can be downloaded at the link employment-and-support-allowance-sanctions
We’d appreciate word of any sightings of Zac in TV ads, magazines or other DWP propaganda in the meantime you might like to follow Steven Preece’s Freedom of Information request on this.
..and remember DWP we’re watching you….
With thanks to Anita Bellows, Rik B and Steven Preece
It has reappeared.”The people in this factsheet are not real”
Ah version 3 finally decides to dump the photos and tell us no one is really real-so how much money was spent on this farce of 3 different DWP leaflets?
A bit silly of them to make it so apparent they were caught out fabricating stories and people up.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416930/dwpf15-0315.pdf features same ‘zac’ photo but different story and same story different photo
Oh dear Zac was doing so well in the last leaflet-see Sarah has been banished completely-thanks for this
Unless these social/economic criminals are attacked with a ferocity and unbridled rage, underpinned by the same lies, deception and treachery they impose upon the vulnerable, a large number made so by a physical and social toxic society. Often by deliberation and it`s collateral effects of that evil nucleus we ill define as the elite ! This so called elite are waging a war of control and suppression upon the people, they are systematically removing all forms of that vague quality we call democracy and freedom to their own exclusive advantage. They have zero concern and interest in peace, equality, security and harmony within the populace in our own society or any other. It really is time to drop the facade of being reasonable and “jaw flapping”, there is only one method of defense and that is attack! It makes the establishment the reactor not the innovator and the planner creating conditions of control whereby they can stimulate our reactions with an already constructed answer to counter any negative against them. This is not conspiracy theory it is their as plain as a pike staff happening in real time. Look at history with clear vision for regardless of it`s ploys evil can never conceal it`self, truth does always out. Thank you . Ray Dolamore.
