Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'
"Henry" typed
Why is it that to many people, "disabled" means "wheelchair users" and absolutely nothing else? Because they are the pushy, awkward aggressive ones! "Disabled" covers a wide range of physical problems, many of which do not involve people needing wheelchairs. Quite, and getting a seat as an 'ambulant disabled' passenger is more difficult as a result of provision for wheelchair users. As an example, just look at the number of people on public transport who need a walking stick to get around. At least that's visible; invisible disabilities are more difficult, in some ways. Deafness, blindness . . . . . the list is endless, but they are all serious problems for the individuals concerned, and yet so many people just think of wheelchairs. That presupposes people think. I'm not sure many do. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
