DWP slammed over ‘total surveillance’ policy
Philip Alston: He has warned you. What are you going to do?
This is well worth your time:
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has been slammed by the UN over its surveillance of benefit claimants. Philip Alston, the UN’s special rapporteur warned that the department is not just spying on those it suspects of fraudulent claims:
“It’s not. It will soon affect everyone and leave the society much worse off. Everyone needs to pay attention and insist on decent limits.”
Alston emphasised that the current system applies to everyone and that all claimants are:
“screened for potential wrongdoing in a system of total surveillance”.
