BBC News - Disabled sailor Geoff Holt MBE barred from train
A reader replied that this behaviour by the guard was 'poor training' not prejudice! I ask you. If it had been a racist slur would we be calling it 'poor training'?
this is what it means to be disabled. Ordinary people who just want to get from A to B are denied by prejudice. inhumanity and denial of human rights. what made that guard believe the train FLOOR was more important than Geoff Holt? until prejudice against disabled people is seen for what it is we will never overcome the hurdles Myself and other disabled people endure on a daily basis.
This behaviour is scandalous.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
