This is the sort of information that needs to be shared around folks ... the non-disabled general public need a big wake up call as to what this government are doing to us. Sure thing, take Blair to court for his part in the invasion of Iraq, but let's see the court of Human Rights take action against Cameron and his cronies first!

Bloody right it's directly linked to this government's direct attacks against disabled people and the manipulation of the press to reinforce their twisted perspective!

This is DIRECTLY linked to Governments Welfare Reforms policy and the media coverage that the government generated in their propaganda onslaught against the disabled!

Heard on radio figures up on last year, but only a few thousand actually reported. Thought to be 65,000.

Often I've heard the word retard, spaz used at me. So the news that disability hate crime has risen is no surprise. Paralympics legacy is..?
