Atos

Well there's a surprise: Atos, having dispatched tens of thousands of sick and disabled people back into the job market- has softened its approach and declared itself unfit to work.

Yes, apparently some of the people it humiliated and consigned to penury were quite angry with them about it, the ingrates.

And what's so marvellous is they've taken notice. Who says protest is a waste of time?

I'm surprised they didn't say, "If they're well enough to get to the protest, they're well enough to get construction jobs".

They would have done once, but now they're scared. They've understood that this contract is making them stink.

They even have the temerity to say they want to get out of the contract due to their staff getting death threats. Good riddance to them i say!

Such a caring employer.

Though, it sounds like the ministers responsible are already lining up the replacements, comprised of all the usual suspects.

I wonder if they'll get any takers.
