Tory Welfare Reforms targeting the disabled are more akin to those used in Romania and China in the 1960s and 1970s, whereby the disabled where used to make goods for no wages, i.e. Slave Labour. The Tories will use the disabled as forced labour in the market place, thus taking jobs away from the young and enabled. Companies will see this as a golden egg opportunity to acquire cheap labour with little or no employment rights, many being used with scant regard to health and safety requirements. The Tories use of the disabled for as little as a £1.00, will breach EU legislation, Employment Law, the Minimum Working Wage directive and the Disability Rights Act.
Not since the Nazis persecuted the Jews in Germany has the world seen such blatant discrimination and hate being demonstrated by any Government in a civilised country towards one group in society. In Scotland alone, disabled suicides are increasing at an alarming rate. In England and Wales hate crimes and assaults against the disabled have been reported by the Police to be increasing daily following the Prime Ministers continuous campaign of hate towards the disabled in the press and on the television whereby he says all disabled people are scroungers, want a life on benefits and are not part of a society the Tories want. A similar picture is emerging of increased cases of attempted suicide by disabled ex-service personnel who now feel betrayed by the Country they were defending. Its also emerging these people in society have been left without support by the Tories, even after Cameron pledged in the House of Commons, no veteran would be left without help or in need. Well they are.

Charities have reported increased use of their counselling services, and the the Citizen Advice are struggling to cope with the influx of disabled people requiring help. GP surgeries are having to increase the number of appointments they carry out daily to cope with the pressure being placed on the NHS as Atos Healthcare, Government contractor, file for medical reports. Many GPs and Consultants believe the Government is undermining their professional competence and ability to judge medical conditions through the appointment of Atos who's medical assessment is carried out allegedly by assessors who are not medically qualified to diagnosed whether or not a person is able to do tasks with certain conditions.

What the disabled need is help from the Government to find work. The Tories need companies to create jobs in the workplace which give an equal opportunity for the disabled to have the same rights of employment as the able bodied in society. What they don't need is work in charity shops or sweat shops, they need work which is paid a fair wage and where they will get support to enable them to perform tasks through the Government providing grants for the disabled people to have the workplace adapted to enable them to work, or to start their own businesses employing both the abled bodied and disabled, and or working from home. Currently, none of these incentives are available to the disabled.

What Cameron and Osborne are really after is for their henchman; Duncan-Smith, to eliminated the disabled from society through work getto schemes, where these people just simply fade into the background and disappear. This will then allow the Tories to get on with what they do best, make the rich even richer through tax avoidance and tax cuts.
What has happened to Human Rights in this country?
