I live in the north and will not see a penny of where my money has been
spent.



And it is indirectly getting even more of our money than may initially be
obvious. Atos is a sponsor, sorry - partner, for the Olympics &
Paralympics. But they get a huge wodge of money from the DWP for doing
medical assessments on DLA claimants - which these days seem to have
extraordinarily high levels of successful appeals.
