And why shouldn't the intellectually-handicapped enjoy the same minimum rights as other workers?

The answer is not to treat them as cheap labour, but instead for them to receive the minimum wage, but also for the government to subsidise their wages.

[1] No reason at all.
They just have to suffer the consequences of entering the real world, thats all.
I personally would pay a bit extra for the poppy to see the IH continue the manufacture.  However, the RSA has made a business decision, based on the cost  They will just have to suffer the consequences of this decision also - assuming there will be any.

[2] And why should the taxpayer subsidise their wages?


Well, I guess there's three choices here....


1. Exploit people who are handicapped/disabled through no fault of their own and treat them as third-class citizens.

2. Pay them a benefit to sit around and do nothing.

3. Subsidise employers to pay them the minimum wage and have them doing something useful with their lives while not treating them as third-class citizens.


Now I certainly know which of those three options I would consider to be the best for all concerned.



However, back to the RSA as seen by cartoonists who have hit the nail right on the head....
