I just came across this story: ”The UK has become the first country in the world to be placed under investigation by the United Nations for violating the human rights of people with disabilities amid fears that thousands may have died as a consequence of controversial welfare reforms and austerity-driven cuts to benefits and care budgets.” For a country to be investigated by the UN on such charges would seem pretty huge news to me; why, then, is there not a word about it on any of the major news websites. Very odd.
