ALT The UK Government coat of arms, featuring a lion, a unicorn and a crown, sits above the following words: ‘The Department. How a violent bureaucracy killed hundreds and hid the evidence.

ALT A colourful background with artwork by Andrew Bolton which includes an illustration of a person in a wheelchair reaching their arms forward with chains around them holding them back, and someone with their head in their hands and a chain and padlock around their neck. There is a quote in black text in a white rectangle in the centre of the image. Text reads: "Different people know this violence in different but interconnected ways: kids taken away by the state; assessments of your fitness for work; having no recourse to public funds. Oppression operates through these connections. So, what would it mean to understand these connected experiences together as ‘welfare state violence’? Maybe giving it this name can be a connecting thread for cross-movement solidarity, a tapestry that grows and solidifies our ecosystems of resistance?” - China Mills. from the piece 'Calling some people a ‘burden’ provides a cover story for welfare state violence'.
