Remploy is a company that’s owned by the DWP in the United Kingdom, which did supply work and employment placement services for disabled people.
It was set up in 1945 under the conditions of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1945 and, over the years formed a web of 83 workshops across the UK.
In 2007, the people in charge of Remploy declared plans to close 42 Remploy workshops, but following that, then lowered that amount to 28 following inflamed argumentation with the TUC and, Labour conferences, with then the Work and Pensions minister Peter Hain. Twenty-Nine workshops were closed in 2008.
Remploy had a vital rebuild and, became a supplier of employment for the disabled and, others with obstacles to employment.
In 2009/10 Remploy housed over 10,500 people into positions across a scope of sectors. In 2009, Remploy was chosen as a prime-and-sub-contractor bringing the Government’s Flexible New Deal Contract, which assisted the long term out-of-work back into work.
Over the last 5 years, it has located over 50,000 job for the disabled, but after an announcement was put forward in early 2012, the Coalition government plans to close 36 of its 54 workshops, potentially making 1,700 employees redundant, which just shows “We are not all in this together” and, the government’s objective is not to get ill and disabled people back into work; their goal is to take money off those that are less able and, starve them off anything they conceivably can. The only thing that this government want ill and disabled people in, is their coffin!

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask!
I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete.
The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece.
I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun!
Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually.
My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job.
My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world.
My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
