So I’m going to try and summarise why the ticket office closures are a problem for disabled people. Since Covid, there’s been a major push not to use cash. So of course the money going to a ticket office is going to be less.
There are 3.7 million people in Britain who are clinically extremely vulnerable. They are not second class citizens. They are your teacher, neighbour, newsagent, mum, nurse. And they deserve to “live with covid” - actually live with it - as much as anyone else.
The worst thing about all of this no access at cop26 is it has so many layers. Yes we are physically excluded again but it also shows how disabled people aren’t expected/not encouraged to be leaders. We’re debated about whether we should have to *ask* to be included. Exhausting.
