OH England fair England
http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2012/04/32-die-a-week-after-failing-in.htmlthe first of many I hope to share . This is no dramatic plea for pity.Folks are dying daily in the UK due to Camerons policies. I rarely speak of the situation for the disabled in the USA.. why? WE lost our battle here years ago during welfare reform in the nineties when not one activist spoke up.
The media is used many times on both sides of the pond to place certain groups in the dust bin of history. MY friends have seen a rise in hate crimes against the disabled..I hope I can help with this thread and raise awareness.
I am going to add this website which contains all the letters this one man has written David Cameron since he took office. The man has spent the last three years raising awareness in the uK about the plight of the disabled, Keith is the best argument I have ever seen for "IF you kill a disabled person because you think they are worthless, well you could be missing out on a great mind." THis man has endured so much backlash for this. Not from people but from the ptbs.
http://www.keithordinaryguy.org.uk/ not one letter ever repeats itself.. every one is snapshot of Camerons policies and what they are doing to the country. Brilliant and amazingly articulate for someone under such stress. Bless my UK friends.. read this before Camerons censorship laws take it down
