Follow the money - what academy trust pocketed all the cash for licensing their curriculum? This is the sort of stuff that local newspapers used to handle, but there's none of them left now.

Was just anecdotal as I'd happened to have just seen complaints about and the reasons given for some facilities being stopped/closed on facebook.
 
No i am not presenting my case like that, at one point i never gave the impression or said 'people with disabilities are a homogenous group dependent on the government' that is just you making assumptions and completely missing my point.

Yes labour started the contract but it was renewed with the tories. Also may i add that the labour government back then was tory-lite who were also corrupt, sucking upto the powerful with money and infuence just like the coalition and the conservatives have.

And this is why i like Jeremy Corbyn. He can't be bought, paid for or corrupted and this is why the media are extremely bias against him.

Like I said, it may be poor written English meaning you have not presented your point clearly, but several times you have referred to 'the disabled'. Now without clarification, this is synonymous with 'people with disabilities', so you absolutely are grouping them all together due to your choice of language.

You may feel disability makes someone a victim, it doesn't follow that every person with a disability shares that view.
 
**** no - Labour is no more an alternative to Tory this time around. If the country had any sense it would vote en mass for anyone but those 2 this time around.

Its a once in a lifetime opportunity but I guarantee everyone will be too short sighted to see it.
 
You 283 lib dem voters - please vote labour to remove the torys, tactical voting this round I'm afraid until we know our human rights laws post brexit.

surely it should be the other way around - sensible Labour voters ought to vote Lib Dem this time around as you've failed to pick a suitable leader

As much as I like that post I think the maths says it still doesn't remove the Tories unless a lot of Tory supporters vote for neither of Labour or Tory.
 
I care more about how an MP votes to be honest, even if they are voting against their personal beliefs. Lots of focus on what Tim Farron personally believes as opposed to what his voting record says.

I'm using the term 'the disabled' to refer to people who would be medically classed as disabled, obviously! Durrehhhhhh


Don't assume I think people with disabilities are victims, I assure you that is not the case and as usual you have assumed wrong. lol

But I would say the disabled (dolph refer to above statement) are being victimised by Tory cuts and excessive/cruel atos tests.
 

But not actually wanted by the majority on zero hours contracts, and the main result is likely to be an increase in unemployment. (Below taken as an example of an employer who is conducting a real world trial of this as we speak)

McDonald’s offers fixed contracts to 115,000 UK zero-hours workers

How about the 234 labour voters vote lib dem? The more labour policy comes out the more it's becoming obvious there is little difference to the Tories in their important policies. I'm leaning more and more to the lib dems who seem like they will make a more coherent opposition to the conservatives on things like the EU.


That would be awful for the economy. Zero hours contracts have their place and both sides benefit in those cases.

Clamp down sure, but ban? No. All that would do is cause major issues for casual workers that actually want to be casual and lead to far more people working in positions like that without contracts at all.

So, as per my much earlier post, you are trying to group people by the fact that they have a disability, define them by it and dictate their position to them as a result.

My wife has a great many qualities that define her before her disability, but you would remove everything about her just to focus on that one aspect of her. What is worse is you then try to act like you are doing her a favour.
 
Isn't the zero-hours contract complaint less an issue with the principle of the contract, and more to do with how they are abused by employers who will for example call someone in to work and then send them home again? People also require stability in income in order to pay bills and get a place to live in. I think 'solving' the problem of zero-hours contracts existing isn't really tackling the reasons behind the objections to them.

With a tanking economy due to brexit, the country cannot afford another round of Labour yet. We need a Conservative/Lib Dem coalition again.

Indeed, and the employers who abuse (as opposed to use) the contracts won't stop being bad employers if zero hours contracts go.
