@telegraph's dismay at war on disabled.

"Work Capability Assessment puts people with mental illness, autism and learning difficulties at a substantial disadvantage." But the UK government defends its position in the war on the disabled.

An Atos whistleblower's tale of the war on the disabled.

Taking the British government's war on the disabled to a new front.

in Scotland, so presumably elsewhere too.

"an inaccessible courtroom, so the people who brought the action couldn't get into the room to hear the verdict."

Company apologises, suspends guard.
