We call on our MP, Philip Davies to apologise for his remarks Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/we-call-on-our-mp-philip-davies-to-apologise-for-his-remarks.html Online petition signatures en-us Tue, 21 Apr 2026 02:22 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Irene A Titmarsh [Signature #33] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15321657?utm_medium=rss Dear Sir,

Disabled or impaired people are able to work just as hard as any other people, you are discriminating against them & this is not & will not be tolerated they have a right to earn a decent living wage & not to be penalised by you into taking money off them simply because they are disabled. I hope to god that you never have to face what these people have had to live with & face their challenges every day.

The minimum wage is to protect people such as my son
If someone is doing a job they want a living wage,

In 1 month he pockets more than most low paid workers have to live on and bring up a family in 1 year .

His attitude to disability and equality are reminiscent of the 1940's where people were treated as non- persons and not expected to achieve or contribute anything to their community.

The words, horse and door, spring to mind.

However, as a disabled person and someone quite capable of using my brain in work as a Lawyer, I will always support this and other petitions, in favour of, seeking an unreserved apology from Mr Davies.

Michael Scargill [Signature #14] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/10826714?utm_medium=rss I would echo the comment of 'Mind' that Mr. Davies' remarks are preposterous. The vast majority of people with all kinds of disabilities and mental health issues are capable of holding down jobs at well above the minimum wage and we should be grateful that very many do, contributing magnificently to the economy, often despite significant practical difficulties and sometimes in the face of brainless prejudice. It is humiliating to have Mr. Davies as my MP.

When my daughter read Mr Davies' comments she was upset but also angry.
A disgraceful response from an MP to a condition that requires support, not the 'carpet being pulled.'

I have suffered this myself and I am extrememly hard working and productive. MPs should be campaigning to help disadvantaged people, not punish them.

The minimum wage has never harmed my business or stopped me employing people with disabilities.
