Philip Davies' suggestion that employers should be allowed to pay less than the minimum wage to the disabled just goes to show the kind of people that become Tory MPs
. He clearly didn't think his idea through or consult with any mental health charities before proposing it in Parliament. The motivation behind the idea is quite obviously contempt for disabled people, (who he considers to be "clearly" inferior, "by definition"
).Not only that, but his pathetic defence that criticism of his proposal is just "left-wing hysteria" demonstrates the Tory paranoia, that all criticism of their lunacy must be some kind of left-wing conspiracy
