Guest wrote:A REAL life Daniel Blake has told how he fears the Tory benefit cuts will leave him dead.
David Coe, 60, had a heart attack an HOUR after leaving a Job Centre – just like the unemployed carpenter in the title role of the acclaimed British movie.
David, who worked in catering for 20 years before falling ill, ‘flatlined’ for nine minutes.
Medics saved his life and he spent a week in hospital last February.
He had been told to apply for work by benefit bosses even though he had earlier been signed off sick by a doctor for a heart condition.
Since then his £130 disability benefits have been slashed to just £20 a week.
Last night David said: “They are doing everything they can to kill me.”
Jonathan Moore, Chairman of Equal Lives charity, said: “This is yet another example of government policy putting profit making organizations before the needs of people.”

The Tory scum need stringing up.

I'd say that's the main thing that's "trying to kill him".

So you don't think that the stress of having to look for work and having to live on £20 a week would have a serious effect on someone with a heart condition?

His doctor has said he's unfit for work end of.
Typical crap from Tory scum

Jobseekers Allowance is £72.40 a week and Disability benefit is higher than that.
You must really think people are stupid to believe such nonsense.

I think it'd be a bit hypocritical to smoke, drink and/or act in other unhealthy ways for half a century and then suggest it's the tory's fault when you have a heart attack.

No, I didn't say that.
If you injured yourself in a skiing accident it WOULD, however, be hypocritical to whine that "the tories are trying to kill me" though.

Your ability to completely bollox up a reply is beyond comparison.
Read the story.
Which part of "Since then (having a heart attack) his £130 disability benefits have been slashed to just £20 a week." don't you understand ? Or do you seriously believe that there are no such things as benefit sanctions ?
And how can he claim JS allowance - he plainly isn't fit to work...
