Remploy.

Yup, there seems to be a lot of criticism from Labour as to why it is so terrible for the coalition to close Remploy factories. Alas, very little explanation as to why the Labour government found it so necessary to do the same, as far as I know, back in 2008.

I'm sure Liam Byrne will have a suitably implausible explanation!!!!

On the positive side of coping with disability, have a gander at this great trailer for the Paralympics on Channel4.

Stonking track from Public Enemy, I think, and some really good accompanying camerawork.

Someone needs to cut a swathe through the whole "Fat-cat" epidemic that is souring our public services and otherwise quite honourable projects like Remploy.

Why can't the fat-cats be disposed of and organisation like Remploy put in the hands of people who actually LOVE helping people for NOTHING? What about the Salvation Army or some such like.

Why not advertise like this:

DO YOU LIKE HELPING PEOPLE?
ARE YOU EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING?
DO YOU JUST HATE THOSE GREEDY FUCKERS THAT RUN EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY?
ARE YOU HAPPY WITH A MODEST SALARY AND DON'T EXPECT A ?MILLION BONUS FOR JUST TURNING UP TO WORK?

THEN COME ON DOWN-WE NEED YOU AT REMPLOY!
