The BBC is too White, and that's why it handles things like this very badly.
Censoring "Free Palestine" but not the racial slur was a CHOICE

A red emergency pull chord that has been wrapped around and hooked onto the movable support arm next to a toilet designated as accessible
Amazing, brilliant, wouldn't expect any less from GLL and Better!

Badenoch complains about sickness benefits going to people
with ADHD or anxiety
Q: When you look at health benefits, are you just going to restrict mental health
benefits, or is it all health benefits?
Badenoch says there are a lot of people with disabilities who can work.
She says it is not right that people should be able to get extra money for an
ADHD diagnosis. She claims people who are anxious can decide not to work
and to get benefits. That is not right.
But where the line gets drawn will be decided by the review, she says.
βUPDATE: Badenoch said:
44 We have talked about a lot of low-level mental health issues that should not
qualify [for benefits]. The ADHD diagnosis can get a family an extra Β£20,000.
That is not right. But the detail of where we need to draw the line is going to be
done by our economic unit ...
Right now there is no line. People can just say that they canβt work, that they're
anxious and they get benefits. That's why we have more children in workless
households than the entire population of Estonia. Thatβs why we have more
people out of work than the entire population of Norway. This is not
sustainable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5eyzxq6litcyeva7et2xs6yt/bafkreiekoqmbkp3tokb4ngefa5jenakuxd6kyizueby63k2dpngj2l2qx4)

Kemi Badenoch thinks we're all faking it, but she is the one faking being a competent human being.

Look ahead to the new year and more of this is on the horizon, from the government's plan for special educational needs and disabilities (Send) amid talk of parents abusing the system, to Wes Streetingβs review of the supposed βoverdiagnosisβ of mental health issues in light of rising sickness benefit claims. Such ideas appear to be salvation to Keir Starmerβs ailing administration, but it may well find that these only add to its problems. Just as with immigration, capitulating to critics of Motability will never be enough. The goalposts always move: first the issue is said to be disabled people having luxury cars, then tax breaks, then any car at all. There is a way out of this: raising living standards, well-funded public services, and a spirited defence of the safety net and those who rely on it. It will also require an honest conversation about why we are collectively getting sicker and addressing the underlying causes rather than stubbornly assuming there is an epidemic of healthy people faking. That is not a quick fix, but it is the only one that will help heal an increasingly broken social fabric. Making it harder for a disabled person to leave the house is a dark and false solution to a genuine crisis.
How is this not a Tory government?

Just more scaremongering and a shamelessly biased 'review'π
With #SirCharlieMayfield and #Labour's new tactic of shaming the disabled and chronically ill, while feeding abelist myths.
The #LabourParty truly does continue to disappoint.

Photo of an accessible toilet, the red emergency pull chord is tucked behind the handle and cyctern. The grab handle hidden out of the way
Closer image of the same toilet and pull chord
Perfect, no notes
Actual Note:it was wedged behind that. I called in staff and they said 'oh maybe it was too long'

Sometimes you'll see a wheelchair users get up and walk a bit or a cane user pick up their cane and carry it instead of using it to walk and it doesn't mean that they're faking or they don't actually need it, and it doesn't give you the right to question them or ask them to prove they're disabled. If you see a disabled person temporarily stop using their aids, mind your business and stop assuming you know anything about their situation. People who wear glasses don't suddenly gain sight when they take them off, and I don't magically become able-bodied when I carry my cane instead of use it. Don't assume otherwise.
My FiancΓ© got me a walker, and a cane.
I have both options to use for when we decide to go out on a date or when I'm having a bad pain day. It's to help me. In the beginning, I was disheartened to use a walker - because of internalized ableism.

Thank you Charlotte Isenberg @ blueridgejewess for sharing your story. It's scary as fck the stuff you went through (you can find her whole story on her social media where she went from anti abortion activist to now a pro choice activist) and I'm so grateful you are okay. genuinely, saying Her story may have taken place in another state, but there's a reason why we have to be talking about issues like this. The government will always try to control people they don't like, and one of the fastest ways to do it is to classify them as mentally ill/ disabled.

Image is a highlighted section from the I Weekend newspaper in which anti trans activist and transphobe Julie Burchill says about disabled people with mental health conditions: "While self-pity among the able-bodied appears to be on the rise, what with the huge numbers of idle working-age people complaining of "anxiety" and "stress", it's rare among physically disabled people.
Another example of transphobes having another bigotry seething underneath.
Does Julie Burchil really intend to pretend she doesn't know that anxiety and stress are symptomatic of some mental health conditions, which are disabilities.

Fascists seek to eliminate people with disabilities/differences. The proposed registry for people with autism is the first step on a very dark road. We must all fight it. #autism #eugenics #abelism
