Ultimately I think this is what it boils down. The Conservatives wanted all the benefits cut and told Atos what to do and how to do it, then used them to take all the blame.
I heard the horror stories from all corners regarding Atos and they were indeed bad. We will never likely learn exactly what orders were given to Atos top brass from the government due to non-disclosure agreements and business sensitivity reasons. Still have a gut feeling they were following orders and did so happily just to get the contract and profits. So Atos can't be excused either
