Atos and the paralympics.
I know its not friday but i thought i would shamelessly steal a letter sent to private eye in response to Atos IT and Medical services being awarded the sponsorship of the Paralympics.
” As the so called disabled arrive at the Paralympics, Atos will be able to assess them, inform them that they are not really disabled and therefore must now take part in the mainstream sports with everyone else. This will both enable considerable savings in the staging of the Paralympics and prove that the coalition is right in asserting that there are no disabled people out there, merely yet more undeserving claimants”
Made me chuckle anyway!
Bit of a coinicidence or possibly a PR agency hard a work!
Perhaps WRO’s should revive the art of ‘ambulance chasing’ at the Games armed with CDLA/179/2007 - “...the tribunal should avoid the error of the previous tribunal of assuming that the fact that the appelant plays ice hockey means that the claimant has no significant limitations. Even the briefest of thoughts about the Paralympic Games shows the error of such an assumption”.
Yes, who would’ve believed it. ATOS in a trial run (pardon the pun) found that Oscar Pestorius has had 2 real legs all along. He fooled us through a clever use of holograms, apparently.
Breaking news….Atos finds Sir Jim’ll Fix It should be ready to consider a return to work in 3 months.
The guy who wrote it also mentioned he had just been taken off benefits. At least he has a sense of humour about it.
