Many are government stooges, highly paid executives, have a look at MIND blog at the liberal conference and subsequent user comments. They do the sick and unemployed a dis service in my view.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-2014906040231387942010-09-27T09:09:19.536+01:002010-09-27T09:09:19.536+01:00I won't miss the EHRC, it lost its way years a...I won't miss the EHRC, it lost its way years ago. I'd go against Remploy closures though, disabled need work, and the fact is the law doesn't facilitate that or addresses discrimination, employers are NOT going to support disabled into work, the state is not going to insist, that's the bottom line.mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-66702212998053078532010-09-25T15:04:42.364+01:002010-09-25T15:04:42.364+01:00Eventually, then, no redress against any establish...Eventually, then, no redress against any establishment behaviour or practice or decision no matter how unlawful.

One of the biggest areas of the Tribunals Service is that which covers benefits appeals with Employment Tribunals not far behind. The tribunals themselves will remain but the loss of the body that advises on their operation will at least mean the loss of a source of useful research on tribunal user experiences and the like.<br /><br />I see the Legal Services Commission are going too. I mean, they are unspeakably crap but I can't help wondering if the legal aid system they 'administer' won't be far behind.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710776765139258627noreply@blogger.com
