The Nazis branded their prisoners with coloured triangles; the red triangle symbolised political prisoners and it seems wholly appropriate to use it here to denote the effects the government approved sanctions and politically motivated agenda are having on the most vulnerable in our society – the chronically sick; the elderly; the disabled and the unemployed.

HATE CRIMES FROM THE STATE
A seed-change has begun; setting your mind into a pattern of hatred and distrust for the vulnerable people of this country where once there was compassion and understanding. Those who have no voice due to physical illness, mental illness or age are being demonised and blamed for the financial instability that has shaken the entire country.
Unlike racial discrimination which is now generally recognised as unacceptable behaviour – disability discrimination is commonplace and becoming more acceptable due to government spin and media sensationalism – a dangerous precedent is being set. While it may be true that fraud creeps into the benefits system, the demonising of all benefit claimants as potential fraudsters is unacceptable.
If any "person" were to behave this wasy, the police would arrest them for hate crimes and discrimination - why can the government get away with it? Because they make the policies and think they are exempt.
