Lord Freud Urged To Resign For Saying Disabled People ‘Not Worth’ Minimum Wage
Huffington Post reports on this shocking statement by Lord Freud, which was apparently made at the Tory Party Conference.
Readers, I wrote a long post here in 2011 when Tory MP Philip Davies made similar comments.
My views on suggestions that we don’t deserve the minimum wage are still, now, what they were then. I would not like to repeat myself at this site, so I’ve simply linked to the old post.
I have little else to add except that people in power should keep outdated, insulting opinions to themselves.
I would deeply love to see Lord Freud resign over these remarks. In fact, if David Cameron really wants to distance himself from the remarks, he should sack Freud as a minister.
Update: I am hearing that Freud has formally apologised for his comments. But readers, it’s not enough. He has too much power for an apology to be enough. He should resign or be sacked.
Update 7pm: There is a petition to David Cameron calling for Freud to be sacked.
