@StansaidAirport That's embarrassing, though not as bad as when he strapped his guide dog harness to poor Janice from the check-in desk, and they eventually found them out of breath behind the ground crew canteen.

I was hoping these twats heading for Dover were all going to jump into small boats and fuck off.

End Disability Hate Petition

I’ve done it.

I’ve launched a petition calling for a **National Disability Hate Strategy for the UK**.

And I want to explain why.

Because I am sick and tired of disabled people being treated as acceptable targets.

Over the last few years, I have watched the language around disability get uglier and uglier.

Scrounger.

Fraudster.

Fake.

Workshy.

A burden on the taxpayer.

We see people being questioned because they can stand up from a wheelchair.

Challenged because they use a Blue Badge but don't "look disabled".

Judged because they have a Motability car.

Accused of faking because their disability fluctuates.

And disabled people are increasingly expected to prove themselves to complete strangers.

I've experienced disability abuse myself.

But through this platform, I've also heard from so many of you who have experienced it.

And then there's the way disability is discussed publicly.

We've seen headlines portraying disabled people and benefit claimants as a problem to be solved.

We've seen endless conversations about who's *really* disabled, who's *disabled enough*, and who deserves support.

We've even reached the point where politicians are publicly talking about distinguishing between people with "severe" disabilities and everybody else.

Words matter.

Because disability hate doesn't suddenly begin when somebody commits a hate crime.

It starts with stigma.

It starts with suspicion.

It starts with misinformation.

It starts when society is repeatedly told that disabled people are costing too much, claiming too much or somehow getting something everybody else is paying for.

And eventually somebody thinks it's acceptable to challenge that wheelchair user.

To abuse that Blue Badge holder.

To film somebody getting out of their Motability car.

To call somebody a benefit scrounger.

Or to send abuse to a disabled person online.

So I'm asking the Government to develop and fund a **National Disability Hate Strategy**, co-produced with Disabled People's Organisations.

Not another conversation *about* us.
Something created **with us**.

Something that looks at prevention, education, policing, online abuse and support for people who experience disability hate.

Because disabled people should not have to prove their disability to strangers.

We shouldn't be frightened of using the support we're entitled to.

And we shouldn't have to accept abuse as simply part of being disabled.

The petition is now live.
https://t.co/M2lqjmgmdp
Please sign it.

Please share it.

And if you've experienced disability hate yourself, tell people why you're signing.

Because the more of us who speak up, the harder we are to ignore.

**Disabled people are not targets.

And disability hate should never be normal.** @paulapeters2 @relish_hendy @1kilroywashere @TheMeldrew @hewitson10 @RachelCDailey_ @TheCanaryUK @mssocietyuk @GMCDP @InclusionLondon

When did you last see a diesel motorcycle?
A new emissions law written for diesel cheats would sweep bikes in too, on the government’s own admission of “limited analytical evidence”.

Have your say by 6 Sept: https://t.co/Jcersi90bV

Last week, more than 100 peaceful protestors were arrested under TERROR LAWS.

Our right to protest is one of the most effective tools we have to hold our leaders to account about the genocide in Gaza, the climate crisis and other vital human rights issues.

These arrests are yet another attack on freedom of speech. Share this video if you think that these extreme measures need to stop!

[Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) @MAGUKCentral]

The Government wants self-driving cars to be "as safe as a careful, competent human driver." Careful, competent humans already kill six motorcyclists a week. Consultation closes 9 September, have your say: https://t.co/y8eR26IyHs

1/ 🧵 Rod Liddle has been published continuously by the Spectator and the Sun for two decades. Here's what that editorial protection has covered for. A thread.

[Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) @MAGUKCentral]

If an HGV hits a motorcyclist, they're roughly 8x more likely to die than someone in a car would be in the same crash. Been true for 15+ years. Cyclists got blind-spot tech that cut their HGV deaths. Motorcyclists got nothing.

[Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) @MAGUKCentral]

Why? Not an accident. The 2018 EU impact assessment for that tech says motorcyclist safety was “deemed more appropriate outside of the regulatory framework” it was built under. Considered, and left out.

[Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) @MAGUKCentral]

MAG has sent the case straight to the minister responsible, with two live decisions still open to fix this. Full case on the blog: https://t.co/oTmzNAbnuL

It's been an absolute honour to visit Clacton fewer times than I've visited America, hold zero surgeries and do fuck all for the town.

🚫 Britain must end all trade with Israel and sanction it now.

⭕️ The ICJ has ordered provisional measures. Israel has ignored every one of them.

⭕️ The 2024 Advisory Opinion is clear and the ICC arrest warrants stand.

🛑 Britain has a legal duty to withhold aid and assistance from unlawful conduct.

Every day of continued trade puts this country in breach of that duty. Ministers know this.

☠️ They are choosing complicity.
