Dismantling Hope

By Forgotten Rights

The most dangerous thing they take from you isn’t money.
It’s hope.

The Slow Kill

This government doesn’t just want to strip away benefits—they want to strip away the belief that things could ever get better.
Because if you don’t believe change is possible, you won’t fight for it.

The Long-Term Plan

  • Privatisation of disability support services—turning our lives into profit margins.
  • Eligibility creep—quietly raising thresholds so fewer people qualify each year.
  • “Managed migration” onto Universal Credit, forcing people through reassessments designed to fail them.
  • Normalising sanctions—so cutting someone off becomes routine, not shocking.

The Psychological Warfare

Every letter from the DWP feels like a threat.
Every assessment feels like a trial you can’t win.
Every news story paints you as a burden.

It’s not just about reducing numbers—it’s about breaking your spirit.

Why They Do It

A population without hope is easy to control. If you believe nothing will change, you won’t vote differently, you won’t protest, you won’t resist.

They know this. They’re counting on it.

What They Don’t Expect

That we’ll keep speaking.
That we’ll keep organising.
That we’ll keep telling the truth until it’s louder than their lies.

What You Can Do

✅ Refuse to let them take your hope.
✅ Share this and remind people that change has happened before—and can again.
✅ Support Forgotten Rights via [Ko-fi], [Patreon], or donations—because every word we publish is an act of defiance.

They call it “reform.” We call it erasing the future.

✊ Forgotten Rights is powered by readers ✊

The government ignores us. The media silences us. This blog exists to scream back.

If you value this fight — help keep it alive.
