'Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, thinks disabled people should be ?allowed? to work for less than the national minimum wage. Well thank you for the privilege Mr. Davies, because �5.93 is a bit steep for us ?scroungers?.
?If an employer is looking at two candidates, one who has got disabilities and one who hasn?t, and they have got to pay them both the same rate,? Davies said in the House of Commons, ?I invite you to guess which one the employer is more likely to take on.?
I work as a self-employed journalist. Does Philip Davies, pictured, think I should be paid less than the next journalist, purely based on the fact that I have cerebral palsy? Clearly, I would not be the best person to stack shelves in a supermarket, and because of that I would not apply for such a role, but why would I be any less able to work at a supermarket check-out than any other person? A strong test of any progressive society is how it?s most vulnerable people are valued for their worth, rather than pitied for their faults.'
