  • A Down's Syndrome lad is living his 'dream' after a kind-hearted building firm took him on - as an apprentice scaffolder. Todd Scanlon, 29, has been employed on a permanent, part-time basis by Coles Scaffolding Contractors Ltd., working for them two full days-a-week. Todd had "begged" scaffold company owner Martyn Coles, 35, for a job for the last two years. And Martyn, who has run the scaffolding company, based in Swindon, Wilts., for the last five years, has said Todd's disability is not holding him back.

    Why would you hire someone like that? He is a liability for insurance purposes!! But on the flip side if he falls from the scaffolding not like he lose anymore braincells

      That's a disgusting comment, the lads trying his hardest making a living and people always have to make comments like this. Honestly reconsider writing crap on the Internet, can you imagine how he or his family would feel reading this. All the best to him

It's called freedom of speech! And I know I for one would never employ a person like this. As they are an insurance risk. Plus the fact I have no time for the mentally feeble as I think they should all be euthanized they serve no purpose in society other than claiming state benefits which as a tax payer think could be spent on more important things. Don't you think 🤔
