I think it is abundantly clear that the elite multimillionaire class love to preach inclusion, acceptance and understanding of disabled people until they are actually confronted with disability.
They will stand on stage and applaud a film about the struggles of living with Tourette’s. They will celebrate the awareness. They will congratulate themselves on being progressive.
But the moment they are faced with the hard, gritty reality of Tourette’s uncensored and unscripted for all to see and hear, the tone changes.
Suddenly they are shocked. Suddenly they are appalled. Suddenly they are not quite as inclusive, accepting or understanding after all.
The mask of virtue slipped.
You invited a man with Tourette’s into the room. You were made aware of his condition. You applauded him. And then when Tourette’s did exactly what Tourette’s does, you recoiled.
You cannot celebrate the story and reject the reality.
Tourette’s is not tidy. It is not convenient. It is not performative. It is neurological. It is involuntary. It does not edit itself for elite comfort.
The irony is this. Tourette’s is louder than ever right now. More people are learning. More people are asking questions. More people are understanding.
You tried to distance yourselves from the reality. Instead you amplified it.
We are all thinking of you Johnny. We are with you. And support for you and for everyone living with Tourette’s is only growing.
@piersmorgan@X@elonmusk Unfortunately Musk has gone in with a noble idea about free speech but inadvertently awakened the demons who increasingly see it as a free for all!
@trussliz Just like you did with @GrahamWP_UK Graham Phillips the second you became prime minister..?
A man Still living in destitution because you didn’t like what he said and therefore sanctioned him!
@rustyrockets It’s a daily hate article from 3 years ago mate… should we start digging up old daily mail reports that mention Russel Brand and see if we can make them relevant?
"During a company event at a Coldplay concert I offered my head of HR a polo mint which she accepted. Whilst singing along to Yellow she accidentally swallowed the mint, and I was forced to perform a Heimlich just as the camera focused on us." That is the end of the matter.…
