Jeremy stated.....but we don't have an ideal world....... I reply... and
'we'll never will'.
Larry, sorry to hear about your own personal embattlements with all the
public-bodies and how it impacting on your quality of life and health and
wellbeing. None of these 'so-called' professionals can really 'step-into'
our neurodiverse shoes, can they?
As I have stated many times in this forum and others too, that they life's
of all disabled people will never change until 'we' all stop this
'in-fighting' within the disabled people's movement and put an end to this
'devide and rule' and the 'hierachy-of-impairments' and 'we' should all
within the movement accept 'difference' as being a basic human and civil
right and you shouldn't have to go through the 'medical-gaze' to enable all
human beings to have access to welfare resources and benefits 'they-need'.
We all need to reflect on this 'power-over' within the movement, if we are
all 'in-fighting', then we are actually making the Government job easier,
because that's what they want us to do, to take the attention away from them
'socially-excluding' and abusing 'us' and they are just 'paper-chasing' and
actually doing 'fuck-all' pragmattically to change all disabled people's
life's.
We need a more equal and organised disabled people movement that work from
the 'power-with' position to benefit 'everyone', not a few middle class
disabled people who have 'sold-out' their politics and ethics and values and
made the life's for so many disabled people worse, especially for those from
lower socio-economic backgrounds.
It's time for all these disabled academics to put the pens and computers and
laptops away and 'join' all disabled peole back on the streets to let the
Government know 'the-truth' about 'equality' and 'social-justice' for all
disabled people.
I am fed up of reading about equality in the Government's 'glossy
magazines', that 'look-nice', but the 'real message' out on the streets for
al disabled people is that the Blair Government is failing us and their is
no 'substance' behind his rhetoric and is all just 'lies, damned-lies' and
'New Labours'(statistics) full of SPIN-SPIN SPIN!!!(BULLSHIT!!)
Take-care
Yours
Colin
