Probably grinning from ear-to-ear
... along with Iain Duncan Smith & Esther Mcvey.
Fingers crossed, something I contributed to on ATOS coming soon on the BBC.

I'd have thought he probably had his plastic "sincere Dave" face on, perhaps with a little crocodile tear welling up...
While quietly storing the moment away for a little "quiet time" later on.

the "sincere dave" face is him desperately trying to remember the stats
he was fed this morning that explain how it was labour what done it
*edit* yeah, yeah i know - it was more a comment on bumface's usual style of retort. i'm fed up of these pmq sessions - when do we get to see pma?

...while thinking to himself, "Dead, eh? Well, no worry about us losing the appeal then!"

Bahh, Labour brought in Atos in the first place, and this type of thing happened before them as well.

Hey, come on now, lets not bring silly things like facts in to the middle of a good Tory burning.

By the time you've been in charge a couple of years, whatever it is... it's your fault.
The 'they started it' argument just doesn't stand up.
Edit / allowing a bad thing to continue is just as reprehensible as starting it /

Couldn't give a shit
ATOS is not something he and his chums have to worry about. Same as tax it's only for the little people

This slightly longer version includes Cameron's response...
(he doesn't seem to care that much)

Cameron defended having a 'proper way' to decide benefits
didn't concede that this clearly wasn't a proper way, and that over a whole country this is unlikely to be an isolated case. If it can happen once, chances are the system they work to will do it again and again

I heard that Skinner smashed it at PMQs but hadn't got round to finding it yet.
Cheers for posting.

Very moving that, I've recently met a lot of people dealt a poor hand in life whose life has been made hell by Atos.
Shame on those bloody Atossers.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine a while back....
She had ovarian cancer, which had spread to her liver, spleen and bowel. After her secondary diagnosis, confirming the metastasis, they cancelled her benefit, pending appeal .The appeal process took eight months, she had been given four to six. Fucking scumbags.
