The feeling shown is one that I have picked up on for a bit and tried to ignore, that the onus is moving away from seeing anyone incapable of self supporting instead of being aided is effectively cast off, as well as there being a generalised impression that they are a drain on resources.

We see this the most in attitudes towards the homeless, there is however a public backlash beginning which is wonderful to see and restores my faith in people in this country.

We are a nation of animal lovers and when you see people being treated worse than dogs at the insistence of the local, regional or national authority then rightly there will be resistance.

Thank you.
Oh, he has appeals coming out of his ears. We had to save, and some generous people even set up some fund raising initiatives to get him a motorised wheelchair and finally some semblance of independence.

The animal thing is a funny one, because there's always outrage when animal abuse is in the news but there's always some victimisation when it comes to people.

Sad, but makes my blood boil when I see people who are fortunate enough to find themselves unaffected in any huge way make glib remarks about McDonald's or some other bullsh*t as though anyone struggling is only struggling because they're not doing enough themselves. Or rather, not doing as much as they do.
