It's high time that it was a legal requirement to protect disabled bays in private car parks. Disability is one of the protected characteristics in UK Equality Law and it is pretty difficult to get a blue badge in the first place. If you have one, display it. #dobetter
Hi @premierinn this is the disabled car park at my hotel, only one car has a blue badge on display, there is also a work van that is parked in a disabled bay
As someone registered disabled, I had to walk from the very back of the car park due to no enforcement for this atrocity
@omarelahi73 @saj_anderson @seeing_dogs Any human being could have fleas. I don't see you asking this of every other human being. The law says a guide dog is necessary medically and cannot legally be refused. And the organisations that train and provide guide dogs are pretty strict on ensuring the dogs are cared for.
@MotabilityOps This isn't how you make life accessible for disabled people. It's bad enough that your second fit teams for wheelchair accessible vehicles can get away with damaging clients wheelchairs with impunity and yoyr wav providers don't have to provide vehicles that work.
Even after I stressed to @Motability that we lived 1 mile up a lane in rural Perthshire
They kept saying they’d “only facilitate my needs not my wants” but a 4x4 vehicle “wasn’t a necessity”
This is our lane this morning.
So hey @MotabilityOps still think 4x4 isnt a necessity?😒
@kadamssl This is why we should teach critical thinking skills and things like information provenance in second level education instead of waiting until university, everyone would benefit from understanding how to check if information is likely to be accurate or not.
Hi @marksandspencer - I’ve noticed you’ve started adding these baskets at the bottom of coolers in some of your food halls.
They make it SO much harder to reach items as a wheelchair user. Could you please stop doing this?
@comfyincrocs@harrietceridwen that's how your initial statement read to me...but then I am Autistic and don't always get nuance correct. I'm not sure how you think I am trying to explain racism. Nowhere have I done so. Please don't try to read into my statements, I have no between the lines.
@comfyincrocs@harrietceridwen bit more than anxiety she lives in a residential home for disabled adults and that video doesn't show whether she tried to hit or not so we only know part of the story from one perspective
Like Saville, the signs were all there with Brand. As a society we have to get better at not laughing them off nervously, and stop letting men who know the power they wield effectively silencing women they’ve abused,
People watching the @C4Dispatches on Russell Brand & saying why don't they go to the police when they've been sexually assaulted & raped need to listen
1 in 30 UK women have experience rape or sexual assault in the last year.
1.9% of cases reported to the police led to charges
All my Autistic girlies know that the punishment meted out for being "weird" doesn't come anywhere close to the punishment for being "weird" but thinking you're "cool".
And I think I know why that is...
@neilorpen@Liz_ORiordan Yes dating out of your rank but within medicine is inevitable, but dating within your speciality or dating your student is a choice.
