 Disability hate-crime: The Public Is More Interested In A Drunk, Naked Prince Than An Innocent Disabled Woman Being Beaten To Death

Trigger warnings: hate crime, ableism, violence, murder

And the sad thing is, I doubt this is going to get many reblogs at all on tumblr. :/

I absolutely hate the healthcare and public benefit system in the United States, which openly discriminates against and kills pwd every year. But the situation in the UK is absolutely chilling to me. I have no idea why your leaders are wrecking the NHS and disability allowances; even ‘austerity’ seems like a weak excuse for these kinds of cuts. And the things they’ve said in the news are absolutely vile.

I am afraid for PWD living in the UK now.

Yes, things are really bad. The cuts are killing people. People are being assessed as “fit for work” and killing themselves because they can’t face the appeals system. And we’re stuck with the same government until 2015. And the opposition aren’t that much better. It’s scapegoating. If they can convince the public that disabled benefit claimants are lying and bankrupting the country then it deflects attention from their own failings. It’s disgusting.
