A Conservative party candidate has been heckled at a hustings after claiming people with learning difficulties should be paid less than the minimum wage. Sally-Ann Hart, who is standing in Hastings and Rye, was accused of making 'inexcusable' claims that 'should be consigned to history' after also alleging that those with learning disabilities 'don't understand money'. Sally Ann Heart, conservative candidate for our constituency, has just defended her view that disabled people / those with learning disabilities should be paid LESS than others. 'It is about having a therapeutic exemption and the article is in support of people with learning disabilities.' It is understood that Ms Hart was formerly a governor at Ark Hastings Primary Academies, which supports children with learning disabilities and special educational needs, for six years.
