Lord Freud should resign or get kicked out over this. According to him, people with disabilities should be paid below the minimum wage – as little as two pounds per hour. Of course, the tories will try to put their spin on it, saying he was quoted out of context and so on, but it is still highly condescending. Intentionally or not, Freud has implied that people with disabilities are of less value as employees, and that we could be paid some derisory sum just to keep us happy. No wonder the crip community is outraged; we have fought long and hard against such patronising attitudes. If he or his party had any honour at all, news of his resignation or sacking will appear on this evening’s news bulletins.
