Philip,

The beauty of the whole thing is that Colin is a part of the disability
movement so his opinion (parts of which I agree with, parts of which I
don't) cannot be responded to by the disability movement as there is no
single voice for the movement.....whether that's a good thing or a bad thing
is a whole separate debate....and I would be wary of anyone claiming to
speak on behalf of the whole of disability, or even individual disabilities.

Paul
