Just goes to show, judging by those comments that prejudice is still alive and kicking against disabled people. I don't think I realised myself just how much they have to put up with until my brother was born with CP.

But we'll always have those kinds of lowlife, we just have to ignore it.

My nephew has polio , the amount he has to put up with is just unbelievable

1) the physical pain. its huge and it varies all the time
2) the medication. he just wants to play but hes got to be a scientist too
3) the inability to do so many things he wants to do
4) the struggle to keep up with school work, friends, ambitions, peer pressure
5) simple things like access to buildings, toilets etc
6) endless over-priced disabled goods and products
7) the abuse he gets , some treat him well, some patronize, but as we see with jack carroll once a disabled person tries to do anything , they get hammered

I think disabled issues have been buried behind other hot topic issues like fox hunting, gay marriage, endless trivial feminist issues like men calling them dear and such nonsense.....I do compare because these other minority discrimination issues seem to get infinitely more coverage than disabled issues

now we see millions hammered by the tory government.

Its time the government actually re-focused on disabled issues.....we will all one day suffer a disability. its time we really addressed it properly and prioritised it ahead of these other less urgent less complex issues



anyways back to jack , I thought he was terrific
