Please support Gary Skyner's campaign for victims of Thalidomide to be fairly compensated by the Government. Gary was born with deformed limbs because his mother was prescribed Thalidomide during pregnancy and is on hunger strike in protest at the Government's refusal to pay compensation to the victims of the anti-morning sickness drug. The full story is available at TimesOnline at: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article6832320.ece

ABSURD that the government is dragging their feet on this. Think about what these people have already been through since birth. Give them the compensation they need to live properly.

This is just heartbreaking. He shouldn't have to starve himself just to get what these people are rightfully owed. Pay them already!

Total disgrace. The govt needs to step up and take responsibility for what happened. Gary shouldn't be suffering like this.
