There are plenty of people living with disabilities who are willing and able to work from home, the problem is the lack of employers willing to accommodate them. Plenty of people without disabilities would benefit from that too.
But making meaningful reforms to improve our society isn’t very Tory, so better just call disabled people lazy instead.
The Tories wouldn’t know an honest day of hard work or “doing their duty” if it came and bribed them to their faces. Scumbags.
Every time one of them says or does pretty much anything, it makes me wonder how on Earth anybody votes for these soulless freaks and weirdos. Ah well, at least nobody who’s put their penis in a dead pig’s mouth is in charge of anything, right? That’d be fucking mental.
Will the british government grant them Jobs, if no employer is found then?
Ahh no, of course there is no money to finance the government offices and services for citizens turn more and more to shit.
Don’t forget the training that they will need to transition in a field that has work from home, I am sure the Torys wont have and that this isn’t pointless cruelty designed to appeal to their base while helping to fund yet another huge increase in the state pension.
Typical of tories. To assume all brits have a duty to the nation. But only the rich havea right for the government to protect them.
Basically tories feel fudalism is still how the world should work.
Lol to think I dreamt of one day migrating to the English countryside when I was little. Today you couldn’t pay me to move to that shithole.
With the way the housing market has gone in a lot of desirable countryside areas, you probably couldn’t be paid enough to buy a house out there.
What’s the countryside got to do with shitty governance and disability policy?
“Work sets you free” says the British government.
Ah yes, wage slavery sets us all free great capitalist overlords. War is peace.
If a job is able to be done fully remotely, a company will outsource it to somewhere like the philippines rather than pay someone UK wages.
Not always. Most and more companies are discovering the problems with culture and timezone mismatches. UK work from home still has a place.
The catch is this is generally for better paying roles. The bottom of the barrel ones go abroad. Unfortunately the Tories are likely trying to force disabled people into exactly these roles. 🤬
"You have been reported for non-compliance in your working-from-home role as a supermarket shelf stacker. You were offered full and complete training and the opportunity to work from home and yet the Tesco Superstore to which you were assigned reports that you have stacked no shelves. You will be sanctioned - including, but not limited to, your entire benefits entitlement - for a period of not less than 60 months. Those benefits will, instead, be paid directly to the shareholders of Tesco plc.
Outsourcing has been around much longer than the recent trend for home working, but the remote outsourcing apocalypse has still yet to appear. Whenever it’s attempted it turns out outsourcing many kinds of jobs is a lot harder than it seems.
They won’t be happy until the sick and poor are back in the workhouses like the 19th century.

Margaret Thatcher 2.0 appears to have been fully activated.
I thought that was May and then Truss
I’m starting to think we’re just seeing beta versions rather than the final 2.0 release. Or is this more of a Norton antivirus thing where every subsequent release is less effective than the previous?
Thatcher 2.0 will feature a lot more antipersonnel weapons for direct engagement with the poor.
Imagine a decaying zombie Maggie with one hand replaced with a circular-saw, the other with a gutting-hook, and one eye replaced with a lazer.
And smelling of urine and feces
And yet when disabled staff request home working in many organisations (including the civil service) they face a battle.
I sometimes wonder if our ministers have been replaced by soulless void creatures
This is the best summary I could come up with:
People with mobility and mental health problems will be asked to work from home or lose benefits as part of what a government minister described today as doing “their duty”.
The new policy will be set out on Wednesday as part of the autumn statement amid a drive by Rishi Sunak to make changes to the welfare system, which he described on Monday as “unsustainable”.
Hundreds of thousands of people will be told to look for work that they can do from home or face having benefits cut by £4,680 a year, under plans that were first reported by the Times.
Charities have already warned that DWP plans to tighten health-related benefits – which are provided to more than 3 million working-age adults in the UK – could cause “huge anxiety” and mean “sanctions” for disabled people.
Tony Wilson, the director of the Institute for Employment Studies, told the Guardian in September that extra support to help disabled people into work should not come with such stringent conditions.
Speaking on Monday in London about the plans to make changes to benefits, the prime minister said : “We believe in the inherent dignity of a good job.

Ironic, given what a shit job you’re doing as PM, Rishi.
It’s a harrowing thought, that we won’t get a chance to vote this neoliberalist wankstain out for another couple of years.
Some slightly good news. Jan 25 is the latest. As they are unlikely to want an election nr xmas. Less then a year is probable.
Here’s hoping. I was born in '88 and remember a time when people’s worth wasn’t tied to their monetary value. What a crazy concept.
1970 myself. So you missed most of it. Thatcher ideal was well and trully embeded by your time.
Well it sure would be a shame of this lady had some serious health issues one day and had to experience what is is like to become disabled and have your life taken away from you.
Then some asshole comes along and tells you to get to work while you can’t even get out of bed most days.
‘Their duty’ from this gaggle ok then
