RIP Jan, Another Victim Of Welfare Reforms | Same Difference
A truly horrendous story of a disabled woman, Where were her friends, family, community?
OK we all agree the UK conservative government policies are evil (well right minded DECENT people do), especially as they relate to sick and disabled people. But the COMMUNITY seemed to be ABSENT from this woman's life.
I want to know who else failed her? Who lived beside her, down the street from her, up the road, in the local churches, in the local charities.
Disgraceful.
We MUST really begin to behave like a COMMUNITY , move away from individualism. 'I'm alright jack' mentality.
Unless we do more and more people are going to suffer.
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!"
