THOUSANDS of government registered chronic sick and disabled folk in Blackpool and their carers in the community have no proper representation to watch over their interests. The undemocratic treatment of them by officialdom, councillors and MPs is a hidden scandal needing exposing.

The purported "National Carers Association" office in King Street, Blackpool, is a masquerade and joke with most of Blackpool's invalid community and lacks comprehension of maintenance of civil rights while failing to represent sick and disabled folk seeking their help against benefits oppression by officialdom.

Blackpool councillors and MPs instead of sitting on their butts at council banquets and social register grandiose parties, need to fully and properly represent their vulnerable constituents and electorate and not just be available at election time only, which is sadly evident in Blackpool.
