Or the "Daily Fail" as we call it here!

I was chatting with some friends yesterday about the whole scheme of things at the moment, thousands of people are fearing the cut backs that will no doubt be taking place, putting thousands of folks out of work.

They raised a valid point saying with all these extra people to choose from in the job market are they really going to offer a job to someone with a long term condition? In some cases as soon as you mention RA (or any other long term health condition) you're suddenly overqualified, under qualified or the position has been filled. No firm is going to admit discrimination, but they can easily find another excuse.

Many of the folks I know with various long term conditions do some sort of voluntary work, and while I'm not advocating that there should be pay for this I do think the fact that despite their health conditions people are giving something back to the community, which is the current coalition governments Big Plan, and it should be recognised.

There's a huge difference between folks who can't work due to genuine ill health and the "workshy" and it's about time the genuine folks weren't all tarred with the same brush.
