(Green Left Wales & GPTU) reports"Paul and Sue won their case (as did
Jason and Jacqueline) but that the court had split up the cases in a very
unfair way and that it was a shock that the case over a victim of domestic
violence was lost. Also she said that the Court had cited the
"discretionary payments" that Councils can give to
claimants and used them as a get out clause to not rule in other people's
favour, despite the fact that in reality when people apply to their councils
for these "discretionary payments" usually the council just says
"no there's no money", Austerity etc...! (Ba***rds!)
