Wrong to assume that degenerative conditions will automatically degenerate
See Priti Patel’s responses to Kate Green in column 4 -
Further mangling of the English language to serve dubious political ends? Next they’ll be insisting that death is not necessarily a permanent condition!
Also note Mr Tredinnick trying to shoe-horn homeopathy in to the discussion. Claimants to have ESA taken away if they refuse the sugar pills? Dafter things have happened.
The internet tells me that nothing is permanent, not even death.
The implications for MRs could be huge.
Looks like the SoS might have dropped a rather large clanger as well…..
Iain Duncan Smith calls people without a disability ‘normal’
The Conservative cabinet minister made the remarks in the House of Commons as he defended the government’s record on getting more people with a disability back into work.
“I think the figure is now over 220,000, which I believe is the highest figure since records began, in proportionate terms, but the most important point is that we are looking to get that up to the level of normal, non-disabled people who are back in work.
Comments on the article are priceless.
I see where Priti Patel’s “riposte” comes from.
“Sigh”
