In this bold and unapologetic episode of The Moody Divergent, we unravel the polished lies we’ve been told — about who’s to blame, who’s taking from the system, and who’s getting away with everything.
From delays in Access to Work, to the sanitised cruelty of PIP reforms, to MPs quietly claiming council tax, rent, and second-home energy bills — while disabled people are pushed into poverty — this episode lays it all out.
This is about more than politics.
It’s about betrayal, truth, and the rage of being gaslit by a system that was never built for us.
It’s raw. It’s factual. It’s spoken with lived experience.
And it asks one question: Who are the real scroungers?
