Yeah, well said. Though, I do think it’s more than just framing–they are stating that disabled people are a social burden, if they’re not working when they could be.

Whether you agree with that seems to be beside the point, which to me is that societies should seek to take care of their people. The Tory ethos (much like the Republicans in the United States) is that anyone using social programs or services is guilty of taking advantage of society unless they demonstrably prove otherwise. That’s an ugly way to think, in my opinion.

Especially when the people saying it typically benefit in myriad and lucrative ways from the structure of society.
