London NoBorders supports the call for a National Day of Action against Benefit Cuts on 24/01/11 and is joining the Party and Picnic at 2pm at Atos Origin's UK head office at 4 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3HG.

Atos Origin have been awarded a £300 million contract by the government to carry out 'work capability assessments' for benefits claimants. This testing system has already led to people with terminal illnesses and severe medical conditions being declared fit for work and having benefits cut.[2]

Atos Origin is also involved in the multi-million pound industry of migration control. In the 1990s, they developed the Schengen Information System (SIS), a massive European database that is used to track and control the movement of millions of people every year. More recently Atos have developed the software for the Points Based System for the UK Border Agency, thus perpetuating the classification of migrants into their "usefulness" or "profitability" for the UK economy.

London NoBorders believes in a world where there are no migration controls and people are free to move where they desire. In such a world, people would not be subjected to demeaning medical tests by governments and private companies, but would support each other through mutual aid and solidarity.
