Remploy

times are hard,
everyone is being labelled,
how low can we go,
a great idea, lets target the disabled.
54 factory's are running,
the less well off people have opportunity,
36 are now going to be-closed,
smaller are the working disabled community.
a minister for the disabled,
did bring to my eye a tear,
she said they were not financially viable,
so how ever far we have come, reverse is the gear.
Labours views are irrelevant,
the 10p tax saga makes them hypocritical,
what ever they are trying to achieve,
it certainly will not gain anything political.
66 years Remploy has been going,
anything from packaging, manufacturing, furniture it all booms,
they are even in CCTC,
and operate in control rooms.
so where is the saving going,
part of £320 million, tell me i am interested,
i don't believe your words,
when you say "for disabled people" it will be reinvested.
it all boils down to the evil root,
£68.3 million last year was the loss,
forget the benefit to disabled people,
that's what makes me so cross.
MS Sayce spoke to the beeb,
i am ready to defend as i have POV reliability,
but if i no anything about "work and pensions",
i have been proven right as its all about profitability.
from the government's words,
the money will stop beginning the year start financially,
a Remploy place cost £25k,
while the £3k "access to work" is saving substantially.
shadow minister Anne McGuire is mad,
the whole story is not to enjoy,
the last word goes to me,
Joe says shame on this country, the government and shame on Remploy.


Hi everyone - i was surfing the net as you do and i came across this story - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17288762 -it was also on the news channel. it really made me think and i have so much compassion as i hope you can see from my poem. everything is hard at times and being disabled must be the most horrible thing when story's like this happen as it is so much more personal. my heart goes out to anyone effected and i will do my best to highlight this by putting my poem on internet forums and i have already sent this to the polictical partys - news channels - and to Remploy. i hope we get a saviour. just wondered other peoples views ?
