Just when you thought the cunts couldn't get any more cunt-ish. They're throwing people with disabilities out of work.

Un - FUCKING- believeable.

Norman Smith on the BBC just called the decision 'fraught'.

Not 'callous', 'immoral',' barbaric' or even just 'wrong' - he said, as chief political editor of the BBC that it was 'fraught'.

No wonder they're getting away with feckin' murder.

Cameron and co have been very quick to claim credit for the 2000 jobs being created at Nissan but are not so keen to accept blame for this absolutely diabolical decision.

I'm sure Iain Duncan Smith has plenty of workfare places ready and waiting for them. Paying people to do a job is communist now, after all.

Remploy seems to have been slowly run down for years, even under Blair, but this looks like an attempt to make it too small to make any money, before shutting it down completely. Surely it's cheaper to have their workers making stuff and earning money than throwing them on the dole.

But, of course, the Tories don't do industry.

My other half works next door to our Remploy, and says that most of the building is now used by other companies. Apparently there were once 50 people working there, and there's now 15, so it's been in decline for a while.

That said, I have heard that disability charities are sort-of pleased, saying that the idea of Remploy is outdated. I quite agree that we shouldn't have to have special companies to employ disabled people because no-one else will, and nowadays we probably don't. But putting anyone out of work is not going to help. It must only be worse in less affluent areas of the country (that makes me sound incredibly out of touch, but I know what I mean)

I'll be honest, I never heard of them until today myself. However there is at least one small business owned locally that is run by the local health & social care trust that hires people with disabilities to make horticultural products and crafts. It was threatened with closure a few years ago but it's been kept open and looks to be safe for the foreseeable future.

#rightwingpoliticalcorrectness - for when some "Tell it like it is" bullshitter plays the political correctness card, often without irony!

I believe it's 400 at Nissan, with the balance of 1600 to follow from connected businesses.

Find capitalism great.

Sociopaths indeed...

At least 50% of the media plus Labour should be banging this point home, but where are they? Can you vote Bishop at the next election? Unreal state of play. This really pissed of the right-wing establishment, because you know, many of them like to play that church-goer vibe... but the numbers there unmasked their true faith, that's for sure.

Before the whole workfare thing blew up in their faces, the government was pushing to extend the program to the disabled. While I agree that it would be better to train the disabled to do jobs which aren't sheltered employment, it seems that unless there is some radically different plan up their sleeves, they were just planning to put them to work stacking shelves for free for "work experience".

It's the whole eye of the needle thing though isn't it, they seem to ignore that particular quote from Matthew.
