Non-partisan UK-based Disability campaign. Advocacy for people with invisible illness and/or physical & mental health conditions. Also Carers, their Families and Friends. Our individual voices are too quiet to be heard, but collectively we can shout loud enough to drown out this tide of abuse against us. Disability Hate Crime, lack of full legal protection, people in care homes costing too much to be let out and not one political party willing to fight for us.
I think what your doing is absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have put your letter up on my blog but I was wondering why you didn't ask Prof Paul Gregg to sign your letter to the Disabled persons Minister Maria Miller?
Prof Gregg has recently said that he believes the roll out of the new welfare assessments is a big mistake.
Well done anyway..
Hi newsextra1962 - we did consider it, and I'm sure he would have signed. The problem is that Prof. Gregg is somewhat lacking in credibility, and carries his own baggage which would overshadow the message of this letter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for replying Rhydian:
ReplyDeleteCan you explain what you mean he lacks credibility? It's not that I doubt what you say I'm just interested to hear your views.
What do you think the chances of success are for getting the government to rethink it's stance on disibility benefits etc in the welfare reform bill?
None at all all of the political parties approve of it as do many of the public if you vote in a foolish way then you will have to pay the consequences
