It doesn’t surprise me that there are big issues like that in the US too, but it still sucks :( I don’t get why it’s so hard for an elected government to actually function well and look after its people! It just seems like wherever you live, the folks in government are corrupt >.< Sure, maybe not all of them, but enough for it to be a problem.

There is a big issue in the news here at the moment about how the gov is now targeting unpaid carers in fraud cases! People who are essentially saving the gov millions by caring for their loved ones. And because a benefit payment happened to be mistakenly overpaid by a couple of quid, they’ve suddenly started going after people for thousands of £££, even though the overpayment errors are the fault of the gov departments in charge o.O They say the people in receipt of the benefits are responsible for reporting errors… why?! Most people wouldn’t even be aware if an error had occurred, let alone know how to report it.

One of the cases that was most disgusting was one where they were chasing a 90-year-old woman with severe dementia for £3000 of her savings just cos some overpayments were made in error over the years >.> And yet multiple serving MPs openly commit fraud and nothing happens to them.

It’s like everything is designed to protect the rich and help them get richer. Which is awful in itself, but to then put out propaganda that the country’s economy is in a mess because of disabled people and poor people… it just makes me sick to my stomach >.<

In other news, the current minister for policing made a right tit of himself on Question Time last night during a debate about sending people to Rwanda who are coming over on boat crossings seeking asylum. An audience member asked a question about it not being safe because of skirmishes and stuff, and the minister sat there and asked if Rwanda and Congo were different countries o.O

(the link is just to an article about it on BBC news with a video clip, but I was watching it live with my family, and we were all laughing at how ludicrous it was! Tbh though, the guy was talking nonsense for the entire duration of the show like most Tory MPs >.>)

I hope you're well anyhow :3 I'm just struggling as usual, haha. Burned out and overwhelmed trying to deal with general life stuff while being harassed by the gov about my claim.
