Unemployed electronics worker John McAthur should be given a medal for his stand against the cruel and unjust DWP sanctions system. We applaud his one man stand and call on other to join him. Under the EU Declaration sanctions were to be 'No more than necessary'. The DWP have used sanctions to excess; a means to stop paying benefits and to provide a large pool of slave labour to circumnavigate the minimum wage. John we salute you - good luck.
