:00:01. > :00:05.Spanish homes. You've got that nagging thing in
:00:05. > :00:12.the background all the time - are they going to knock it down, is
:00:12. > :00:14.that damn bulldozer going to come over the hill tomorrow? You just
:00:14. > :00:19.don't know. We delve into the world of
:00:19. > :00:23.subatomic particles. You really can't exaggerate the
:00:23. > :00:28.unbelievable smallness of these teeny-tiny things. But what makes
:00:28. > :00:32.them even more unbelievable is the way they behave.
:00:32. > :00:35.And the tourist attraction with a difference.
:00:35. > :00:39.Most folk are surprised, to be honest, at what these people can
:00:40. > :00:42.achieve. Yes, they take training, yes, they take a little bit longer
:00:43. > :00:49.than able-bodied people do - but they can still achieve exactly the
:00:49. > :00:53.same as anybody else. I'm Natalie Graham, with untold
:00:54. > :01:03.stories closer to home. From all round Kent and Sussex, this is
:01:04. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:25.Hello. Tonight I'm in our historic and ever-popular city of Canterbury.
:01:25. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:31.First up, here's Jon Cuthill. Imagine selling up in the South
:01:31. > :01:36.lock stock and barrel and splashing out on that dream villa in Spain.
:01:37. > :01:41.Only to be told it could be demolished at any time.
:01:41. > :01:44.After living and working all their lives in Worthing, John and
:01:44. > :01:49.Christine sold their bungalow and ploughed everything into buying
:01:49. > :01:54.this home. It had been their lifelong dream. Nice cars,
:01:54. > :01:58.beautiful beaches, everything you could win -- want. When you retire.
:01:58. > :02:02.You would think this is the dream. Does it feel like a home knowing
:02:02. > :02:07.what is happening all the you? think it does, it is still home to
:02:07. > :02:12.me, but they could take it away from us. They are the regional
:02:12. > :02:15.Government of Andalucia, who have branded their house and
:02:15. > :02:18.neighbouring properties illegal. Ignoring the fact that the local
:02:18. > :02:26.council has approved all the buildings and issued the owners
:02:26. > :02:31.with legal permits. We should be under this level of stress at a
:02:31. > :02:35.stage in life through no fault of our own. People of our age start
:02:35. > :02:39.getting injuries, and under the stress it does not help. John and
:02:39. > :02:43.Christine want to move back to Sussex. They now have grandchildren
:02:43. > :02:49.there and since the move Christine has been diagnosed with cancer. But
:02:49. > :02:53.she and John cannot go anywhere. have lost it all really, because
:02:53. > :02:58.this house is worth nothing. No one would buy it from us, and thanks to
:02:58. > :03:02.the politician's former, that is whose fault it is. If you had any
:03:02. > :03:07.doubts about the scale of the problem it is not just one or two.
:03:07. > :03:14.In this valley alone there are 12,697 properties that have been
:03:14. > :03:17.deemed to be illegal. And indoor hall of Andalusia, the regional
:03:17. > :03:21.Government has overturned local planning permission so many times
:03:21. > :03:28.that a staggering 300,000 homes could be turned to rubble.
:03:28. > :03:33.If you think the junta will not carry out its threats, think again.
:03:33. > :03:37.High, then, nice to meet you. High, Helen. This was a Spanish villa.
:03:37. > :03:41.All that's left are the foundations and the poor, and that is where you
:03:41. > :03:45.are living now, forced to live in the garage?
:03:45. > :03:49.After five years of sun and sea and lounging by the poor, one morning
:03:49. > :03:56.with 20 minutes warning, the Andalucian bulldozers arrived at
:03:56. > :04:00.his villa. This was like a little porch, and then just here was the
:04:00. > :04:04.little front door. And then you walk through into the hallway.
:04:04. > :04:09.were amazed that they actually scraped all the tiles off. They
:04:09. > :04:13.took them off the floor? They were that determined? So they left you
:04:13. > :04:17.with absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
:04:17. > :04:21.The prices have stayed put, due to the bizarre planning rules the
:04:21. > :04:26.garage was deemed illegal and was left untouched. They have lived
:04:26. > :04:30.there ever since, adding a shipping container extension and a novel en
:04:30. > :04:35.suite. You are actually standing in the
:04:35. > :04:40.van, which was a caravanette which I converted. Into a bathroom.
:04:40. > :04:45.living in a garage, and washing in a van. That is your life. That is
:04:45. > :04:49.it. Happy days! Helen and then have good reason to
:04:49. > :04:55.feel particularly singled out. By these houses having problems as
:04:55. > :05:00.well? Or just your house? Just this one here. I think they pick on a
:05:00. > :05:05.house that was 100% legal, just to say, if we can knock this one down,
:05:05. > :05:12.we can knock anybody's down. They want to enforce, and I mean
:05:12. > :05:16.force, their will upon the local councils, who have always in the
:05:16. > :05:21.past had the right to issue building licences.
:05:21. > :05:26.So the dreams of a life in Spain for thousands of Brits are left
:05:26. > :05:34.literally in ruins. Welcome to my house in Spain, moved
:05:34. > :05:39.here seven years ago to this. Not a brick has been made since.
:05:39. > :05:42.The Browns sold their 300,000 pound Hampshire home to come here. Now
:05:42. > :05:46.they are stuck, unable to move in, unable to return.
:05:46. > :05:52.And this is through no fault of your own. We bought it in good
:05:52. > :05:57.faith, solicitors, architects, signing off every little bit of
:05:57. > :06:01.concrete they put in. Just to be stopped.
:06:01. > :06:06.Give think he would ever see your money out of this place, or do you
:06:06. > :06:10.have to... We have been told, no. Some who have habitable homes are
:06:10. > :06:14.not allowed mains water or electricity because the houses have
:06:14. > :06:18.yet again retrospectively been deemed illegal. You are the living
:06:19. > :06:25.of generators, and leisure batteries, but you have already
:06:25. > :06:31.paid to be connected to the grid. Yes, 13 of us paid 120,000 euros
:06:31. > :06:35.between us to get the infrastructure put in. The junta
:06:35. > :06:39.agreed we could do it, and when we got it done at they turned around
:06:39. > :06:43.and said, you cannot have it put up because you are illegal.
:06:43. > :06:47.To make matters worse the Spanish Government has launched a UK wide
:06:47. > :06:52.campaign to get more Brits to move to Spain and boost the flagging
:06:53. > :06:59.economy. To have somebody from the Government of the bare promoting
:06:59. > :07:02.house sales, no way! It should not have even been allowed. It is a
:07:02. > :07:08.case of give me your money, and that is all the authorities here
:07:08. > :07:12.want you to do. An air of limbo hangs over the whole area, as the
:07:12. > :07:17.Andalucian junta sticks to its guns and court actions fail to make
:07:17. > :07:21.headway. Every month, hundreds of Brits,
:07:21. > :07:25.many facing demolition orders, gather to discuss tactics. The
:07:25. > :07:31.bottom line, the Andalucian Government is not budging and the
:07:31. > :07:36.clock is ticking. They gave us permission, we built a
:07:36. > :07:40.house, then they tell us we are wrong. They are not wrong, we are
:07:40. > :07:45.wrong. People back in the UK do not realise the full scale of the
:07:46. > :07:52.problems. It is horrendous. We have done everything they have given as
:07:52. > :07:57.paperwork to do, and then they say we should not have done it. I don't
:07:57. > :08:01.know. It is all our lives money. even if we can find a solution, the
:08:01. > :08:04.length of time it can take, especially those with court cases,
:08:05. > :08:08.because the Spanish judicial system is very slow, many people may well
:08:08. > :08:11.not see a solution in their lifetime.
:08:11. > :08:17.Time to ask some tough questions about what the Spanish Government
:08:17. > :08:21.is doing to sort out the unbending line being taken by the junta. We
:08:21. > :08:25.explained our findings to the ambassador. The's ascent will
:08:25. > :08:30.Government has no competence on this because the competence and
:08:31. > :08:37.depart on this issue is default, but the Government is putting
:08:37. > :08:41.pressure on regional governments and on local authorities, to have a
:08:42. > :08:44.look at those problems, to try and see how we can help the affected
:08:44. > :08:50.families. Could you have an amnesty, could
:08:50. > :08:54.you draw the line? If you are talking of councils which were --
:08:54. > :08:58.houses which were built by the permission of the town hall and
:08:58. > :09:02.then they are deemed not legal by the local authorities, in those
:09:02. > :09:07.cases I hope they should be a solution.
:09:07. > :09:12.The ambassador's response is not one our Brits want to hear.
:09:12. > :09:16.Frustrated and trapped abroad with no road home back to the south.
:09:16. > :09:20.know of quite a few people who have come back, and they have gone back
:09:20. > :09:26.with pockets empty, and they have had to throw themselves on the
:09:26. > :09:32.mercy of the council, to turn round and say, I am homeless. Give us a
:09:32. > :09:39.flat. I wish we had never bought. If you want to come to Spain, vent!
:09:39. > :09:41.Goodbye! For God's sake, do not buy. -- rent.
:09:41. > :09:45.Jon Cuthill reporting there. Coming up later:
:09:45. > :09:48.We didn't like the idea of people feeling that they should be shut
:09:48. > :09:53.away, why should they? They've got a right to live, they've got a
:09:53. > :09:56.right to have a life. And that's what we were trying to give them.
:09:56. > :10:06.And now, here's Kaddy, delving into the world of the very, very, very,
:10:06. > :10:09.very small. Here in the South East, we're on
:10:09. > :10:15.the verge of something really big in the world of the incredibly
:10:15. > :10:18.small. A revolution in technology that will change our lives. Dr
:10:18. > :10:21.Winfried Hensinger of the University of Sussex is a leading
:10:21. > :10:25.expert in the field of quantum mechanics. The study of the
:10:25. > :10:28.peculiar behaviour of atoms. He's developing technology so
:10:28. > :10:38.powerful it could make even the fastest supercomputers today look
:10:38. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :10:44.like primitive Stone Age tools. But before we take a good look at it,
:10:44. > :10:47.we need to know exactly what we're talking about. So let's start in
:10:47. > :10:54.Canterbury, another place with a big role to play in the tiny
:10:54. > :11:02.technology revolution. Look at this full stop. It takes 10
:11:02. > :11:07.million atoms laid side by side to form the width of this tiny dot. So
:11:07. > :11:10.atoms are truly tiny. Until you compare them to subatomic particles.
:11:10. > :11:14.If Canterbury Cathedral were the size of an atom, the subatomic
:11:14. > :11:20.particles that give it its quirky power would be the size of a moth.
:11:20. > :11:23.So atoms are mostly nothing at all. In fact, if you squeezed out all
:11:23. > :11:30.the gaps in all our atoms, the world's entire population of 7
:11:30. > :11:33.billion people would fit into a space the size of a sugar cube.
:11:33. > :11:36.So, you really can't exaggerate the unbelievable smallness of these
:11:36. > :11:41.teeny tiny things, but what makes them even more unbelievable is the
:11:41. > :11:51.way they behave. Individual atoms can teleport. And
:11:51. > :11:56.
:11:56. > :11:58.subatomic particles can go forwards and backwards simultaneously. And
:11:58. > :12:02.they know when they're being watched.
:12:02. > :12:04.Not only that, but they can also be in two different places at the same
:12:04. > :12:05.time. The equivalent of me being in
:12:05. > :12:15.Canterbury, and back in Sussex, simultaneously.
:12:15. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:21.So how do we know this? How do we know, for example, that tiny
:12:21. > :12:24.particles, like electrons, know they're being watched? Well,
:12:24. > :12:27.pretend that these paintballs are electrons. If we fire them through
:12:27. > :12:31.two slits and watch what happens, we get two stripes of electrons on
:12:31. > :12:33.the other side, as you'd expect. But if you do the same thing again,
:12:33. > :12:36.and don't watch them fly through, they do something else.
:12:36. > :12:46.Now, if you wouldn't look, everything would be different, you
:12:46. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:50.would see more than just these two lines. You would see multiple lines
:12:50. > :12:52.that would be an interference pattern of each electron having
:12:52. > :12:54.gone through both slits simultaneously. So one electron
:12:54. > :12:57.going through both slits at the same time, and then interfering
:12:57. > :13:05.with itself to produce an interference pattern, and this
:13:05. > :13:11.interference pattern would consist of multiple stripes like this. But
:13:11. > :13:17.not only two, but a whole number of different stripes.
:13:17. > :13:20.Yep - I don't get it either. But I'm in good company. Even Einstein
:13:20. > :13:23.couldn't explain it. But back in Canterbury, some of our brightest
:13:23. > :13:30.young physicists are doing their best to get to grips with all
:13:30. > :13:34.things quantum. They are Simon Langton Grammar School. And they're
:13:34. > :13:36.going to show me the wonders of the subatomic universe, and why quantum
:13:36. > :13:40.mechanics is the next big thing. Dr Becky Parker teaches quantum
:13:40. > :13:42.theory to teenagers. She says the fact that it doesn't make sense to
:13:42. > :13:45.us shouldn't put us off, because it's actually brilliant.
:13:45. > :13:48.It's the best theory we've ever had, it explains everything with such
:13:48. > :13:51.incredible accuracy, that it's correct in that sense, but we find
:13:51. > :13:54.it really tricky to get our heads round because really it doesn't fit
:13:54. > :13:58.with what our normal perception of what reality out there is. It sort
:13:58. > :14:01.of involves us far more in a weird way, as though we're somehow part
:14:01. > :14:11.of making measurements. And so it's really our lack of language and
:14:11. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:16.ability to understand what it's telling us, I think, is the trouble.
:14:16. > :14:19.One of the most troubling quantum theories is the idea of parallel
:14:19. > :14:22.universes. Year 13 student Alix Fell has agreed to explain this one
:14:22. > :14:26.to me, with a thought experiment called Schrodinger's Cat - using a
:14:26. > :14:28.briefcase, a cat, and a laser gun that will be triggered by the spin
:14:28. > :14:32.on an electron. If this electron has an upspin,
:14:32. > :14:36.then it's going to set off the gun and kill the cat. If the electron
:14:36. > :14:44.has a downspin, it's not going to set off the gun and the cat will be
:14:44. > :14:46.alive when we open the box. The cat has a 50/50 chance of
:14:46. > :14:49.survival. But since the electron's spin is only confirmed when it's
:14:49. > :14:52.watched by an intelligent being, the cat's condition isn't definite
:14:52. > :15:02.until we open the box and look. Till then, the cat is, in theory,
:15:02. > :15:04.dead AND alive. Meow! It's alive. What does that
:15:04. > :15:06.mean? That means the electron was in the
:15:06. > :15:09.downspin state, so the gun didn't go off.
:15:09. > :15:12.It's dead. If the cat was dead, which could
:15:12. > :15:14.happen in another world, if we had a parallel universe with a
:15:14. > :15:22.different outcome, then we would assume that the electron had been
:15:22. > :15:24.in the upspin state, and the gun had gone off and killed the cat.
:15:24. > :15:27.Do you really get this? Sort of!
:15:27. > :15:30.The fact is nobody really understands how and why atoms know
:15:30. > :15:36.they're being watched. But that's not stopping the pupils here from
:15:36. > :15:39.watching them. Using technology from the Large Hadron Collider at
:15:39. > :15:43.CERN, they've even developed a device that can detect the
:15:43. > :15:49.radiation they give off in the vast empty reaches of space - or from a
:15:49. > :15:52.banana. So the particles hit the chip, and
:15:52. > :15:56.their charge is deposited, and that shows up on the screen. The chip's
:15:56. > :16:02.connected to the computer and it shows up on the screen as these
:16:02. > :16:06.tracks that you can see. From early next year this device
:16:06. > :16:08.will be orbiting the earth on a satellite. And, spurred on by the
:16:08. > :16:15.school's idea, NASA is going to put similar particle detecting
:16:15. > :16:18.technology on the International Space Station. But what practical
:16:18. > :16:21.use does the study of the smallest of the small actually have for us
:16:21. > :16:23.down here on earth? If we didn't understand the whole
:16:23. > :16:30.physics of quantum mechanics we wouldn't have the technology we've
:16:31. > :16:33.got with our mobile phones, with GPS, with accurate timing. Things
:16:33. > :16:36.like quantum computers, which actually have the capacity to store
:16:36. > :16:39.masses more data, will gradually come in and take over from the
:16:39. > :16:41.computers we have. So potentially, it has huge implications for the
:16:41. > :16:44.technology we use. And that's why Dr Hensinger is
:16:44. > :16:47.working hard back in Sussex to be the first to develop a large-scale
:16:47. > :16:50.fully-functioning quantum computer. If this is a quantum computer, is
:16:50. > :17:00.it like the ZX Spectrum of quantum computers? Probably much less than
:17:00. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:08.that, it's probably an abacus of quantum computing. I don't know
:17:08. > :17:11.whether you've heard of bits and bytes in classical computers - in
:17:11. > :17:14.quantum physics and in quantum computing there's the equivalent,
:17:14. > :17:17.and the equivalent is basically a quantum byte, and a quantum byte
:17:17. > :17:27.Which of this is the computer?! To cut a long story short, all of
:17:27. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:29.it is. This is �1.5 million worth of lasers and vacuum chambers,
:17:29. > :17:32.designed to trap and cool a single atom.
:17:33. > :17:40.Once it is very, very cold, we use laser beams to inscribe information
:17:40. > :17:42.onto the atom, and so the atom now becomes a bit.
:17:42. > :17:49.While normal computer bits are either zeros or ones, quantum
:17:49. > :17:51.computer bits can be both zeros and ones at the same time. Enabling
:17:51. > :17:53.quantum computers to do things conventional computers could never
:17:53. > :17:55.ever do. So a quantum computer, even a very
:17:55. > :17:59.small-scale quantum computer, could solve problems a classical computer
:17:59. > :18:09.couldn't even solve in a trillion years, it could solve that in a few
:18:09. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:15.milliseconds. And that will happen - IF Dr
:18:15. > :18:17.Hensinger and his team are successful in taming the strange
:18:17. > :18:21.and quirky power of atoms. It's still possibly ten years away
:18:21. > :18:23.for a large scale quantum computer to be built, but even in the
:18:23. > :18:26.meantime there's going to be very, very exciting things happening with
:18:26. > :18:36.this technology, and amazing results you'll see in the not so
:18:36. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :18:40.far future. Of course, in a parallel universe,
:18:40. > :18:43.another version of Dr Hensinger's probably invented it already. The
:18:43. > :18:50.great physicist Nils Bohr one said, "anyone who is not shocked by
:18:50. > :18:55.quantum mechanics has not understood it". But here's the
:18:55. > :18:58.really shocking thought: if there are parallel universes there must
:18:58. > :19:00.be multiple versions of me in multiple versions of South East
:19:00. > :19:05.England, making multiple versions of Inside Out, for multiple
:19:05. > :19:13.versions of you to watch - again and again and again.
:19:13. > :19:16.Don't have nightmares! Kaddy Lee-Preston reporting. Now,
:19:16. > :19:26.the remarkable story of a rare breeds animal centre, with a
:19:26. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:40.It's the summer holidays at the Rare Breeds Centre in Whitchurch,
:19:40. > :19:44.Kent. And it's packed. This place looks like a typical
:19:44. > :19:47.tourist attraction, but it is much, much more than that.
:19:47. > :19:52.Because a be staffed by people who would not get a look-in in the
:19:52. > :19:56.normal job market. The centre is run by a charity
:19:56. > :20:00.called the Canterbury Oast Trust, it was set up 26 years ago by
:20:00. > :20:05.parents of people with learning disabilities.
:20:05. > :20:11.Do you want to stroke her? Nice and soft. If we handle them all right,
:20:11. > :20:15.they are all right. We didn't like the idea of people
:20:15. > :20:20.feeling that they should be shut away, why should they? They have
:20:20. > :20:23.got a right to live and have a life. And that's what we were trying to
:20:23. > :20:30.give them. Do you want to matter sauce with
:20:30. > :20:35.Today, those people -- children are busy adults. They don't just run
:20:35. > :20:39.the farm, but also the tea shop, the Conference Centre, the nursery,
:20:39. > :20:44.the nature reserve and the gallery. So this is a real work in the real
:20:44. > :20:50.world for people really want the chance to do things for themselves.
:20:50. > :20:59.I'm Ben Hillman, and I am 35 years old.
:20:59. > :21:03.I consider myself a gentleman, I can be a joker, and are also try
:21:03. > :21:09.and be fun loving and very caring. You don't think you are coming with
:21:09. > :21:12.me do you, I am going out pulling the birds! Why would I be dressed
:21:12. > :21:20.like this? Some people want to be rich, want
:21:20. > :21:25.to be rock stars, famous for being famous. I don't. I want to own my
:21:25. > :21:34.own house, have a wife, children, a job, and just be like everybody
:21:34. > :21:40.else. My name's Cheryl and I and 28. I
:21:40. > :21:45.work in the tea room, and I work at the Rare Breeds. I do help with
:21:45. > :21:51.people if they want it, they say, you are a nice lady and I say,
:21:51. > :21:58.thank you. Cheryl's job but the rare Breeds
:21:58. > :22:03.starts at 8:30am. Today, she is one of a team of
:22:03. > :22:12.seven working on the farm. Sometimes I have to bring the
:22:12. > :22:20.animals in, do some sweeping, picking it up, and at the end of
:22:20. > :22:24.the day I feel like going to bed when I get in. Davy is the fund
:22:24. > :22:28.manager. As far as he is concerned this is not just something for the
:22:28. > :22:32.residents to do to keep them occupied, it is a real job. They
:22:33. > :22:39.are mucking out, feeding, helping with the care of the animals, so
:22:39. > :22:45.yes, it is fairly hard graft. do the public react to them. Most
:22:45. > :22:51.Falk are to some extent surprised at what these people can achieve.
:22:51. > :22:55.Our residents take training, yes, they take a little bit longer than
:22:55. > :22:59.able-bodied people, but they can still achieve exactly the same to a
:22:59. > :23:04.large extent as anybody else. It is amazing how everyone here is
:23:04. > :23:08.so incredibly enthusiastic about the work they do. And I think, this
:23:08. > :23:13.is going to sound cliched, but the thing that shines through is how it
:23:13. > :23:18.is about people's ability is not their disabilities.
:23:18. > :23:22.Silvio boy in -- Sylvia Boyne's son Russell has been with the trust
:23:22. > :23:27.from the start. At the time Sylvia could not see a future for this --
:23:27. > :23:33.for her son, and for the charity's ideas were the way forward. They
:23:33. > :23:38.were trying to achieve and give them a life that the brothers and
:23:38. > :23:42.sisters have, to give them dignity and be independent. To have choices.
:23:42. > :23:46.But letting her son become independent was not easy for.
:23:46. > :23:50.went to a fund-raising event at the farm and somebody came up behind me
:23:50. > :23:55.and they were obviously look -- watching my actions to see what he
:23:55. > :24:01.was doing. And they put my hand -- the hand on my shoulder and said,
:24:01. > :24:11.you have got to let go. It made as open up and think, we have got to
:24:11. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:19.let go, he has a right to lead his life. And it is just from there, he
:24:19. > :24:23.has just done so well. And there are so many of them like that,
:24:23. > :24:25.being the opportunity to be themselves and not have mum and dad
:24:25. > :24:28.and everybody trying to protect them.
:24:29. > :24:34.Since Russell joined the charity the number of opportunities for the
:24:34. > :24:41.residents to work has grown. The trust now owns Poulton Wood nature
:24:41. > :24:44.reserve near Ashford. Ben works here one day a week
:24:44. > :24:50.learning woodland management and coppicing.
:24:50. > :24:57.It is a place where we can come to learn about conservation and nature,
:24:57. > :25:03.woodland crafts, we also sell firewood and make things. Aids and
:25:03. > :25:09.repair things. Do all kinds of things. It just seems a very
:25:09. > :25:13.natural and very lovely place to be in. Ben doesn't get paid for his
:25:13. > :25:18.work and so jobs the residents do are classed as work experience.
:25:18. > :25:23.It would be great to see more of these guys in paid employment,
:25:23. > :25:28.because they have got such a lot to offer. And I think it would be a
:25:28. > :25:32.real eye-opener to people out there to get to meet these guys, and to
:25:32. > :25:38.realise, like everybody else, they are all different, they all have
:25:38. > :25:43.huge amounts to offer, they who are just great people to be a round.
:25:43. > :25:46.Come on, let's go and pick apples... The idea of the work placements is
:25:46. > :25:51.to provide the best dance with qualifications to enable them to
:25:51. > :25:55.apply for full-time paid jobs. That is easier said than done. Mencap,
:25:55. > :25:59.the leading charity for those with learning disabilities, says the
:25:59. > :26:03.biggest barrier is prejudice. want to see people given an
:26:03. > :26:07.opportunity to do real jobs in world -- real work places. To
:26:07. > :26:12.change the attitude of employers, they must not be prejudiced, they
:26:13. > :26:17.must fulfil their responsibilities under disability equality laws. The
:26:17. > :26:22.role of Government is to make sure its support -- their support
:26:22. > :26:27.systems to get people off benefits into work, actually work for people
:26:27. > :26:32.with a learning disability. Let us change that. We have made virtually
:26:32. > :26:40.no progress over the last ten, 11 years - let us make real progress
:26:40. > :26:44.over the next ten years. The skills ben has learned at the
:26:44. > :26:49.Canterbury Oast Trust has have given him the confidence to take on
:26:49. > :26:51.voluntary work. Now, for one day our work, he is a railway man at
:26:51. > :26:57.the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
:26:58. > :27:03.When I get ready and put my uniform on, it is great because I feel that,
:27:03. > :27:11.you know, yes, I still have got this disability, and please God, I
:27:11. > :27:17.wish I could get rid of it some days, but when I go to work I can,
:27:17. > :27:26.it is almost like I can... Not get rid of it but put it aside and just
:27:26. > :27:31.be one of the lads. Cheryl's had a busy week two. Like
:27:31. > :27:36.many girls her age, or she wants to do now is go out and enjoy herself.
:27:36. > :27:40.So she has come to the disco in Ashford with her new boyfriend Nick.
:27:40. > :27:45.We are realising that the youngsters have got an opportunity,
:27:45. > :27:49.and they are taking it and they work hard. They enjoy everything
:27:49. > :27:53.they do and they put their haul heart into it. The happiness you
:27:53. > :27:56.see on their faces, what they achieve, what they would never have
:27:56. > :28:06.been able to achieve if they were at home with the likes of their
:28:06. > :28:08.
:28:08. > :28:13.parents. We just feel that it is a fairy-tale come true, really.
:28:13. > :28:17.If you want more information about tonight's show you can go to our
:28:17. > :28:26.Kent or Sussex website. You can watch the whole show again on the
:28:26. > :28:29.iPlayer. Coming up next week. The closure of five sir. A special
:28:29. > :28:33.report on the future of jobs in East Kent.
:28:33. > :28:38.East Kent has a choice - remain beautiful and bucolic, or sacrifice
:28:38. > :28:42.some of that countryside to provide lots of industrial premises, to
:28:42. > :28:47.provide jobs for local people? first baby has been delivered at
:28:47. > :28:51.the new hospital at Pembury outside Tunbridge Wells... And we look at
