Britain’s attitude to disabled workers? ‘Suck it up, buttercup’

The DWP wants more disabled people back in the workplace – but, says James Moore, with bullying and discrimination an everyday reality, is it any wonder sicknote absence is at record levels?

The Independent

@openrightsgroup At a recent #ProspectUnion conference, an #OFCOM employee presented about their #OnlineSafetyBill implementation plans.

When I asked them about the effect on services that use #e2ee, e.g. WhatsApp as reported in @TheGuardian, they claimed that operators were:

- clearly aware of their duties under the Bill
- only being required to submit a "risk assessment"
- creating FUD by asking for more clarity about #e2ee

I wasn't convinced TBH.
