  I think it's much more likely that they know but don't give a shit.. They clearly don't regard disabled people as humans who deserve any dignity, what do they care what conditions we'd be locked up in?

    Yeah this is just the first step in removing state support for disabled people. Everything these evil cunts have done from the beginning has been so fucking obvious.

    The big society, where private individuals would contribute to things like food banks, while they gut state support. Reducing support for GP practices while incentivising fully private practices to be set up, handing contracts to big American healthcare/insurance companies.

    How is this not obvious to people in the UK, or do they know and want the UK to turn into a hellhole?

      That's as ridiculous as asking if it's not obvious to Americans that trump is bad and blaming the entire population for him instead of the system that enabled him to not only exist, but took him to the very top.

      And that system isn't just laws, it's the media, it's the education system, it's literally a brain washing machine. Is it disgusting and frustrating that such ableism is embedded in every aspect of society? Of course. Is it the fault of the people being manipulated, rather than of those doing the manipulating? Fuck no.

      And as you alluded to, lets not pretend Labour gives a shit about disabled people either (nor that this problem is somehow unique to the UK), so it's not like we have anyone to vote for who will not fuck us over.

        Fair point, but there does seem to be plenty who do seem like they should have the capacity to understand, but choose not to.

        True, although if enough people understood they were being fucked, things could change. Like if the Murdoch rags told them (sorry, I’m miserable facetious cunt)
