The closure of 36 of the remaining 54 Remploy factories - subsidised factories offering employment to disabled workers - was hailed by the government today as "a major step forward" in equality.
A coalition spokesbastard told us "with thousands of people being laid off up and down the land as a result of our policies, it's only right that disabled workers enjoy those same benefits. Yes, those benefits that we're now going to take off them". Warming to his theme, he added that "the real victims here are A4E who now have a load more people to interview, few of whom have any chance of ever getting work again, in order to pick up their fat government contract. Frankly, they're the victims here, not these feckless disabled bastards".
Each factory attracts an average subsidy of £25,000 per year, a sum described as "grotesque and unjustifiable in the current climate".
