    TORY MP Phil Davies has sparked outrage after saying disabled people should work for less than the minimum wage.

    Right-winger Philip Davies said if employers had to pay the same wage they would always choose to hire an able-bodied job candidate over a disabled rival.

    The Shipley MP told the Commons yesterday: "People with a learning disability can't be as productive in their work as somebody who hasn't got a disability." He added: "They (disabled people) accept an employer would take on a person without mental health problems if they were both having to be paid the same rate."

    It really beggars belief that in todays fairly liberal society that such extreme right wing views should be held by a sitting member of parliament.

    He'll be saying next "Look - I met a guy the other day; he was deaf, he was dumb, he was blind - but he sure played a mean pinball, and he was able to make a good living from it. And that non-reliance on the state is what disabled people want."
