Same week, in the Guardian was published an alarming article written by Allegra Stratton. Tory MP Philip Davies: disabled people could work for less pay...One thought instantly of the one legged man going for an interview:
Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shpley, told the Commons: "If an employer is looking at two candidates, one who has got disabilities and one who hasn't, and they have got to pay them both the same rate, I invite you to guess which one the employer is more likely to take on."Reading the criteria for being "sent back to work":
- able to walk 30m. unaided
- lifting a 500ml carton of drink with each hand
- putting food in one's mouth without help
We will have to see, I am typing this using 4 fingers as usual, my skills are widening...serving one pint, closing early and blogging about it! It is not going to get any better.
