Disabled people are always told that we don't contribute, we want to you just won't let us So give us enough to live on and stop complaining, or let us contribute properly.

When dealing with adversarial organisations, control the battleground. Record meetings. Know the rules. Understand your rights. Bring accountability into the room and be willing to go one step further. Make yourself a hard target. #SelfAdvocacy #KnowYourRights
When fighting through barriers and discrimination, I will at all times be willing to go one step further than the other party. Persistence under pressure 
To any disabled people fighting through barriers and discrimination: Once somebody crosses a boundary, do not let them renegotiate it afterwards. Stay firm, commit fully, and you will become a much harder target to pick on. #DisabilityRights #DisabledAndProud #KnowYourWorth
The government and our politicians would have you believe that disability spending is spiralling out of control and is somehow the source of all your problems. It isn’t. It’s a load of rubbish. #DisabilityRights #WelfareFacts #StopTheScapegoating
I thought I had seen it all but this surprised even me. Terrible decision-making here and I don't even know how the DWP managed it. 
Some screenshots from the article I've been posting about all week. Councils exposed trying to deny special educational needs support to disabled children. #SEND #DisabilityRights #DisabledChildren
One of the worst statistics regarding blindness, 10% of totally blind people have a job in the UK. Nothing to do with lack of effort and everything to do with discrimination.
