#Remploy
Remploy shut down by the tories

Now everyone is crying because disabled people cant find jobs

No shit, get remploy reopened and making sundries and furniture and what they can for the nhs...saving welfare, giving jobs and meaning back to people and saving nhs millions to boot

Hardly revolutionary

@allymcgovern.bsky.social Remember REMPLOY?
A play on the term Re-Employ. It was a govt organisation that employed huge numbers of largely disabled persons who made good quality products for the public and private sector. Is it time now to bring REMPLOY back in a more politically acceptable form?

Pretending that there is nothing wrong with disabled people and that the reason they don't work is because they are lazy.

Is the reason that many of the disabled people who could work aren't

What is needed is support and appropriate jobs, like Remploy who were shutdown provided

I'm old enough to remember Remploy & how it provided access to jobs for disabled people in publically owned businesses & Blair's labour closed down most of the Remploy factories & began the full evisceration of Remploy which Tories completed. RW Labour & Tories really are just 2 cheeks on same arse.

There was real support for disabled people in work. It was called Remploy, many enjoyed working there.
Unfortunately it cost a lot of money, and eventually the Government got rid of it.
It’s now called Maximus.
Many need support and good management, which costs.

I will point out the obvious, if you have a disability that impacts your ability to work, no one will hire you.

Why would they?

If you wanted disabled people to work you would have to MAKE people employ them, or provide jobs like Remploy did, until the Government shut it down.

Remember Remploy? Those were the days.

A few years ago the government got rid of all the Remploy factories putting disabled out of work and now the government want to put them back in work again. If they kept the Remploy factories open then the disabled would not have been out of work now.

Tory Tom forgotten what happened to Remploy, @lbc.co.uk ?

Sick of the "isn't Eddie baby brilliant" brigade. Just remind him about remploy and the post office and obviously austerity. He should never be near power again. Lib dems should NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER trusted

The tories shut down the Remploy factories in UK.
They were started after WW2 to employ disabled people.
Tory govt shut them down putting many thousands of disabled people out of work and onto benefits!!
Almost all these folks still can’t get jobs.
Tory govt put thousands of disabled onto benefits!

The faux outrage from the media, dont remember any of it in 2010s when lib dems and tories were destroying remploy etc. Ed davey is a shark

Can’t believe there was a time the UK government would have companies that focussed on employing disabled people (Remploy) and instead of developing better social relations, 80 years later it’s going full on eugenics.
