Budget Cuts Shouldn’t Cost Human Dignity
Disabled people fear they are being sacrificed to balance the books. When support is cut, services disappear, and legal aid is stripped away, the most vulnerable often pay the price. A fair society does not balance its finances on the backs of those who need help the most. Rather than asking disabled people and low-incomeContinue reading “Budget Cuts Shouldn’t Cost Human Dignity”
LEGAL AID, BRING IT BACK
Legal aid wasn’t charity. It was the key to the courtroom door. They took away the key, then wondered why justice became a luxury. Bring back legal aid. Since the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) came into force in 2013, large areas of law were removed from the scope ofContinue reading “LEGAL AID, BRING IT BACK”
The Illusion Of Agricultural Progress
The dark, satirical image of a skeletal farmer spraying fields under a choked, industrial sky serves as a stark visual summary of our modern food system.
