does anyone listen to LBC ? I listened to it all the time but can’t anymore because every presenter is constantly talking about getting the disabled back to work especially the ones with mental health issues
@letitbe
No I don't listen to it.
Its best to avoid things like that who are biased against the disabled community.
I wouldn't give it the time of day.
I used to find it soothing hearing people talking coz made me feel less alone - I tried talk radio but even worse and nasty presenters. I’ll have to find another way
Nick Ferrari the absolute worst and the others not to far behind . Everywhere you look / listen / turns these days it’s all about getting people back to work , I’m sick and tired of it
Unfortunately this is exactly what governments want to do “ throw the claimant to the wolves with no support “ they fail to understand that forcing someone into work especially if they have serious MH issues could set them back massively and in the end could potentially cost much more ( hospital admissions etc ) . having support and a safety net would make a big difference but unfortunately as I’ve had first hand experience of work coaches this isn’t the case . all I hear is that ‘ works helps MH conditions , getting out and having a routine helps’ , well it has to be the right type of work and something the claimant can manage - this is absolutely vital.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
