FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Welsh Government Education Minister Leighton Andrews called for Duncan Smith to be sacked after comments he made to the Sunday Express, saying disabled staff just sit around drinking coffee all day.
Confronted by Sunday Express reporters who were delivering more than 15,000 signatures on a “Save Remploy” petition calling on Duncan Smith to save the disabled workers’ jobs, the Minister said, “Is it a kindness to stick people in some factory where they are not doing any work at all? Just making cups of coffee?”
Condemning the Minister’s “ignorant, heartless and foolish” remarks, the British Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Liam Byrne also demanded his written apology to the Remploy workers, saying, “It is utterly unacceptable for you to accuse disabled workers of doing nothing more than sitting around and occasionally putting the kettle on.”
A recent decision by the Tory-led government to close 36 of the 54 Remploy’s sheltered factories, leading to 1,518 disabled staff losing their jobs, has created ire amongst British disabled people, claiming the government’s welfare cuts which have hit them the hardest.
There will be a Remploy protest march to lobby Parliament in London on Wednesday May 9.
