FROM April 03, many thousands of pensioners, chronic sick and disabled across Blackpool and Fylde are to lose their social security allowance payments books with four weeks arrears substitute payments made instead into bank accounts -- while subjecting state entitlements to 'Lucky Dips'.
Such draconian and vicious compulsory statute and further vendetta by the Labour government against society's most vulnerable will further cause massive social upheaval while also causing thousands of post office counter clerks made redundant.
Many such vulnerable have no bank accounts, are unable to obtain credit references to open one and bottom line will be left destitute.
It's outrageous that Fylde Coast 'couldn't-care-less' MPs are supporting such ruthlessness and tyranny by frighteningly remaining silent on the issue.
