		<description>It&#039;s all talk and people no longer believe it, I&#039;m severely disabled labour came out in 1997 and actually told me, if I wanted to work they help me, I was sent to the Shaw trust, then I was sent to the Remploy inter works, I was sent to two other providers, but the one thing they did great was promise, but when it actually came to finding a job, it was hopeless.

I&#039;m in a wheelchair so the jobs these morons sent me to where Brick laying, taxi driving, painter decorator, for god sake I&#039;m in a wheelchair, then they sent me to do jobs I knew I could not do because of the education, Doctors receptionist. Doctors  medical records six years experience needed.

then i was sent back to the jobs center and i was desperate to work, nothing, now I&#039;ve been told to stay away. until jobs comes available.

So where are these jobs that labours going to make well they said picking up litter, my council already employs people for this cleaning graffiti again already employed so where are the jobs. It&#039;s another of browns dreams</description>
