Alexander Dennis, Remploy, the COOP coffin plant, McVites, Golden Wonder, Cream of Galloway, Motorola and Ethicon, Valeo Foods, Unilever, basically all now English owned and closed down in Scotland.

There used to be a company called Remploy which provided work for those with disabilities. It was subsidised by the UK government, before these were phased out between 2008 and 2013 by the coalition government. Eventually sold to private equity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remplo….

I think we should reinstate Remploy. They were jobs for people with various disabilities. Enabled people to live with dignity and contribute to society in the same way any worker contributed.

Wasn't there something called Remploy which provided jobs for disabled people who might otherwise find difficulty in finding work? Guess which Government closed it down.

What happened to Remploy under the Tories?

That's welfare dependency - a characteristic of capitalist societies. Socialist systems focus on empowering people to participate in the economy; a typical example of that is Remploy post 1945 here in the UK which The Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition closed in 2013.

A massive mistake was to close down Remploy factories, they need to reinstate that policy

Rhey NEED. Get RID of ALL DEI. pqk/Muskim, Foreigners. In apiloc3 afore. EMPLOY VETS. & TO RECRUIT.-REMPLOY.... All the Old School./Generations. Genuine. POLICE /Bobbies. to SORT it out front. within and From. BOTTOM TO TOP. & TOP TO BOTTOM. Etc . Or they become Public Enemy

I love this story. It's like watching a food fight in a Remploy canteen.

They stripped Job Centres of any role as a “labour exchange” (I’m old enough to remember when that is what they were called) years ago. We need a service like that back? And a new Remploy for people with physical or mental disabilities? And …..

He helped Disabled get a job by supporting and modernised remploy Closing down stopped Disabled getting a job

When are you going to fucking wake up...employers DO NOT WANT DISABLED WORKERS...remind us what happened to remploy which was setup to hire disabled folk...oh yeah, all it's funding was cut off. Stop demonising disabled people because employers don't want us.

Looks like a remploy day out

The fuckwit George Osbourne closed Remploy. #C4News

After WW2, returning soldiers (and ex miners) made utility furniture for Remploy, a govt backed company that specifically provided work and housing for disabled Vets. A home building scheme that trains ex-military men and women, which results in them living in the home they built, while learning a trade, seems like a good idea today.

Next you will be bringing back Remploy, cant have them useless disabled sitting there doing nothing, we need to pay for Mo with his 3 wives and 14 children! Rinse and repeat, none of you have any new ideas, thick as mince!

The closing of Remploy was IMHO one of the biggest acts of national vandalism underpinned by deliberate cruelty.

Remploy again I think
