Damn right. Why aren’t people who are physically incapable of doing work getting jobs? Off to the assembly lines!
Oh wait…
there was actually a govt funded organisation called Remploy specifically for getting those who had disabilities back into employment if it was possible but the funding was reduced.
it is irregular having an IT services company carrying out healthcare assesment tasks, as much so as if I were to put on a set of scrubs and do the nursing rounds at work, even though I look like one of the Pinoy staff (not surprising given my ancestry).
Lets not forget though that the UK is a democratic nation and people over the years have openly voted for “smaller government and less taxes”. This is all well and good if you are fit and healthy but doesn’t provide for much of a welfare safety net.
whilst people are getting in a big kerfuffle over a small minority presumably with little else to do celebrating the death of a retired politician (maybe this is interlinked?) they overlook the real shift towards bitter Social Darwinism in the UK.
I’ve been reading up about hate crimes etc and there are people who will openly walk up to a disabled person and their carer and say “I resent paying taxes for you, you should be put down” and then are very angry when the Police come to arrest them claiming their “free speech rights” are being infringed upon
Worse still, there are very nasty incidents of disabled people (especially with learning disabilities) being bullied and even murdered by so-called “friends” whose intention is to steal their benefits and social housing.
