Sorry but I have to take some offence here.
To employ a disabled person would mean they could earn no more than £20 a week for a mondain job that will do little to inspire them. Any more just comes out of benefit and we are on a pretty low deal anyway. So a few hours for £20, wether NTL pay £20 an hour or £20 for the week. There would be no job satisfaction in it for most disabled that could do that and it would just be more like bob a job for a cub scout.
There are many disabled who would be quite capable of retraining in higher education so we can achieve respectable lives and income for ourselves but unfortunatley law states we cannot attend college or university for for more than 16 hours a week. 16 hours a week will not cut it to get the qualifications to demand the income we require to live.
