the right of disabled people to live with dignity

Our beloved, and unelected, condem governemt has been waging a war against disabled people ever since it came to power. Disability organisations have been trying to fight this despicable attack on the dignity of disabled people and their right to live in an equal society. We, disability organisations, are trying to fight a government propaganda campaign suupported by most of the press AND the BBC with good intentions and a fly swotter. There has been a deluge of negative press and BBC coverage all targeted to paint disabled people as nothing better that benefit scroungers who can make no positive contribution to society. Unless we become much more vocal and politically active disabled people's rights and dignity will be steam rollered back to the stone age. With one difference. Back then it was survival of the fittest now its survival of the richest.
