Campaigners rally to rid Britain of Atos
Demonstrators target jobcentres and Atos offices

Disability and anti-cuts campaigners took to the streets yesterday in protest against hated welfare privateer Atos.

Demonstrators targeted jobcentres and Atos offices, saying that despite Atos quitting the £500 million work capability assessment (WCA) contract there was still a job to do.

"We need to get rid of Atos completely," said Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) spokesman Adam Lotun.
