I am alarmed how similar the two main political parties are appearing these days. I was just watching the lunchtime news, which ran a story about how labour plans to reform incapacity benefit. They plan to reduce it drastically, to try to get people into work.

Is my memory failing me, or was labour a left-wing party once? This sounds very conservative to me. Reminiscent, slightly, of Thatcherism, with that make-the-lazybuggers-work mentality. Now, I’m not saying I want to live off the dole – I intend to get a job one day – but what new labour fails to realise is that some of us crips will find this hard, especially given the standard of education we receive in special schools. With labour lurching to the right, the door is open for ccameron, and we all know what that means!
