People who are sick or disabled don’t have money to throw around but Conservative councillors in Northamptonshire don’t care, because they do.
If anybody else doesn’t have the same resources, they can rot. And if they do – of course – they don’t need benefit.
So who is really sick in this situation?
A shameless Tory council is poised to become the first in Britain to start charging the sick and disabled for their own care assessments.
Furious Labour MPs and campaign groups hit out at plans by Tory-run Northamptonshire County Council to force people need of social services to pay £50 for a needs assessment before they can access care.

Time to sort out the wheat from the chaff and that Council is surely due for some very large cuts; not financial ones but sick creeping Tory Councilors.
This is the outcome of the cuts to local council funding, what next ask aTOS to do the assessments to ensure no one gets any care whatsoever?
What are we supposed to pay with? They are taking money off us left right and centre.
