Olympic Partners

Post by Stormproof »

So its 4.30am on a Sunday morning and I'm wide awake watching Click. They are doing a piece on the Olympics and what name stands out to me above all the other famous brands like Samsung, Panasonic etc...........the brand name ATOS http://uk.atos.net/en-uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; proves how much money this firm is racking in and how many people they are screwing over.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Oh they're needed all right!

Any of those feckless, idle atheletes starts feigning an injury and ATOS will be able to declare them fit to carry on. :wink:

That would explain why Bolt is having to run while carrying a hamstring injury.
He's had a week on light duties but although a reasonable rehab plan would see him running only 50m - building up to 100m over the next two weeks, they've decided he can just go back on to a full 100m run straight away.
I fully expect to see him given a stage warning if he fails to attend, even though the original hamstring injury was clearly an AOD.
(Downgraded to an incident. It was his own fault for running)
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

This thread will have to be closed.
The use of the word "Olympic" or any reference to "London" or "unfortunately just outside the medals" are now restricted to official Olympic sponsors and partners.
Storm will now be paid a visit by the Olympic Advertisement Enforcement Officers or "AdverStasi" who will,after a short flight in an aircraft with no windows make sure that no further instances of "Ambush Marketing" are attempted.
You are a very naughty girl Storm and i mean that in the most innocent way possible. :angel
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If they want to find me I'll be in McDonalds drinking a Coca-Cola, paid for with my Visa card, using my Acer laptop to check Olympic updates whilst watching the Panasonic Flat screen tv in the corner and checking the time on my Omega watch.Waiting for a call of ATOS on my Samsung phone asking why I won't be at work this week :cuppa

All the sponsors are getting a massive tax break. Sign this petition to put pressure on them. 9 have already agreed not to take it

10 Downing St e-petition about the way ATOS assessments are carried out has just a few days left to go, If you object to the way Atos assess disabled people, sign the petition before 8 August

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/5828" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
ATOS assessments

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions


We are concerned by reports of a high number of genuinely ill and disabled people, including those who are terminally ill, wrongly being declared fit for work by ATOS medical assessors.

These errors cause hardship and distress to some of the most vulnerable members of society and cost the tax payer large sums in appeals.

We therefore petition the government to look into the process of these medical assessments and ensure that the necessary changes are made to create a fair system that protects the sick and disabled.


Sign this petition

Go to the 10 Downing St e-petition website and search for Atos assessments or click on the link above
