Disabled Delegates ‘Forced Out Of Front Row’ At Labour Conference For ‘Party Suits’
This is unbelievable. Same Difference would be very interested to know what Kate Green has to say about it.
HEARTLESS Labour chiefs forced a group of disabled delegates to give up their seats for “party suits” minutes before Ed Miliband’s speech yesterday, the Morning Star can reveal.
Delegate and Morning Star contributor Bernadette Horton tripped and fell as she was shifted so some “bright young things” could be in place to shake the Labour leader’s hand.
“As I was going up the stairs I just lost my footing and fell,” said Ms Horton who walks with a crutch.
“I was really upset and shaken.”
Venue stewards told the party worker the seats had been specially assigned to the 15 disabled delegates but were overruled.
Ms Horton said: “The people in suits saw this but didn’t say anything. I said ‘if you’re Labour you should be ashamed.’
“We’re like pariahs in our own party. It has to stop.”
Ms Horton is set to raise the issue today in a meeting with shadow minister for disabled people Kate Green.

Thought the Tory lot where bad, but I now to now believe the labour are just as bad, and I for one will not be voting for labour or the Tories in the elections.

I agree with Mary in the above comment. I am disgusted with Lab. That shows more than anything, their attitude towards disabled people and makes you wonder what the future would be like for us under Labour.

Absolutely terrible treatment of
A) The Disabled
B) Women
C) Labour Party Members
Surely the person who made the decision to move these members should offer a profound apology for his actions, and maybe needs to attend a course on Disability Awareness!

All the same then, I would have totally refused to move, I thought it was only the TORY tawts who were evil but now even labour are showing their true colours. Sad sad day.
