Could close down a factory that employed disabled people, promised funding till 2015 but they rather turn them to dolers to and put them on the work programme.

like most politicians they are bereft of idea.

No, not only the Tories........

It is in this case, yes, but to suggest it would only ever be the Tories can't be serious as nobody can see into the future...............

And the Remploy business model is highly dependant upon subsidy....and that isn't the best way to run a business that supplies industry, in a way, it offers uneven competition with other suppliers.....

The tear jerker is that this deals with 'disability', but in a world of non prejudice and equal opportunities, surely the rough goes with the smooth....it isn't always one way traffic....in equality

And I'm not being callous, I'm not being purposely obtuse.Its a fact that the Remploy model has run its course...............the origins are no longer the current goals

They should still give it funding, disabled people are mocked and find it hard to get jobs these factories gave them a purpose, they paid their taxes also.

This government has an atrocious record regarding the genuine sick,however in this case it may well have done the right thing.

Can you explain why they done the right thing ?`

"Critics accuse Matthews and Remploy's senior management of having done little to win new business for the factories, which numbered 83 as recently as 2007. Twenty-nine of those were closed the following year under the Labour government"

So, we should subsidies people to make products that no one will buy?

"The coalition government commissioned a report on the future of disability employment and training from a review team led by Liz Sayce, chief executive of disability charity Radar (now Disability Rights UK) and a known critic of sheltered factories. The report recommended winding down support for segregated employment, saying that each of the 2,800 Remploy factory workers was subsidised by an average £25,000 a year that could be better spent".

It always struck me as a bit patronising anyway.
