Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Every disabled person is "genuinely disabled".

It's pretty simple really.

And yes a significant proportion of the UK population are disabled.

Poverty, inequality, NHS underfunding, aging population, a Pandemic all have a significant impact on that.
They're all still disabled.

Anyone who makes bullshit claims like “the most vulnerable will be protected”, simply doesn’t understand how things work in reality.

When you add restrictions into a system, the most vulnerable are the FIRST to be harmed.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward
The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

Many seem to think #disabled people "should just work", but they don't understand/care that:

1. Workplaces systemically discriminate against us

2. We're often paid less than the non-disabled

3. Accommodations that would enable us to work are often denied

and it makes me mad.

“If that disabled person can do this job, then you can work too”

By that logic…. Where’s your Olympic medal?
Why aren’t you a brain surgeon?

Oh… yeah… because not everyone can do everything… even if you’re not disabled.

Once you have called disabled people a burden, you have facilitated the devaluation, dehumanization and death of disabled people.

As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

Back in A&E (kidney problems this time).

A woman turned to me earlier and said - out of nowhere - "are you afraid of getting old"?

I'm in a Beckett play.

Jfc the ignorance of the majority of the public disability benefits is truly off the scale…

Instead of listening and learning, they just spew hate and then get defensive when called out.

They believe the clickbait headlines rather than the actual disabled people…

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.
