Employee yelled ‘Shame on you … you’re killing the crippled’ as prime minister visited uniform distribution centreA male who heckled David Cameron at a London 2012 event earlier this week was a paid employee of the organisers and not a volunteer, as was originally claimed.During a visit by the prime minister to the uniform distribution centre in east London where 200 volunteers were collecting their uniforms, the heckler yelled: “Shame on you. You’re crippling the poor and the young … you’re killing the crippled.”He was then drowned outside by other volunteers present at the event and ushered outside of the room. Afterwards, it was assumed that the individual was a volunteer and a London organising committee spokesman said the person would keep his role.”Human beings are allowed their political views. It was just a rather inappropriate place and age to air them,” said the spokesman after the incident, which overshadowed speeches by Cameron and the London 2012 chairman, Lord Coe.However it is understood that the individual works as a Paralympic accreditation client manager and fears he could lose his job over the outburst, believed to have been motivated by administration welfare reforms.Employees of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and its contractors wear the same uniform as the 70,000 volunteers, which may have led to the confusion.Cameron responded to the interruption by saying: “This is not about politics. This is about Britain. It is about volunteering. It is about our nation. It is about a successful Olympics.”A London 2012 spokesman insisted there was no danger of the individual losing his job. “It doesn’t constitute any difference whether this person was an employee or a volunteer. As we said, everyone’s entitled to their belief however that probably wasn’t the age or place to be airing it.”David CameronLondonOlympic Games 2012Owen Gibsonguardian.co.uk © 2012 Twitter News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
