have been racking my brains as to where we disabled people can go to from here! that is, are we raging enough/ Are we challanging enough/ are we angry enough/ certainly unlike in spain or UK we are NOT chaining ourselves to Leinster House railings, or throwing paint on Gov ministers cars or any other more 'OUTRAGeous' behaviour. i don't think some of these actions are wise, but I understand them.
do the people of ireland KNOW us, do they KNOW about our lives? dDo they WANT to know us or anything about our lives? Are we visible on screen, TV, in shops or buisnesses? or are we only visible in charity collections, appeals or begging situations?
Do we have a political clout. I'm thinking here of the Senior Parliment as an example. Should we set up a disability 'parliment'. yes I like that Idea.
A new political party!
who wants to join my cabinet?
contact if interested in being part of something more radical (but not paint throwing).
We can't just sit here and 'take it' !
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!"
