    Just e-mailed this article to my MP. I've been telling him for months the suicide numbers would go up.

    Think this is what David (I understand the disabled) Cameron wants......

    "Disabled" covers a large range - you can run for a bus and still be regarded as disabled e.g if you are deaf and cannot speak and qualify for a free pass. Many people have free passes with communication difficulties - should they have to stand struggling talking to the driver to buy a ticket suffering embarrassment because they shouldnt have a free pass as they can physically walk? Blind people can get one and DLA.

    Which bracket do you fall under?

    After having to jump through the ridiculous hoops and very demeaning ATOS process recently just to get what I'm entitled to, which by the way still isn't over, I find your post very offensive.. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I guess you're all for making the genuine folks beg for scraps too :x
    You really need to think before you post sometimes... Or am I one of the scroungers? :x

    What is a disability pass? I don't think I've heard of it. I have a BB for parking and won't bother with a bus pass when the time comes as the metal poles that pass for seats in the bus shelters round here play havoc with sore sacro-iliac joints but I do wonder what this pass is. Any chance of any enlightenment from anywhere? DD

    so, now an expert at spotting disabled people eh? Prey tell, what does 'a, disabled person' look like :? Do they all have to be in wheelchairs to pass your expert test?
    You do say some foolish things... Maybe Dave n his bum chum should stop spending their (our) millions on paying these fiendish ghouls out for profit and just pay you to do it...

    I have been studying your posts (from the first) on numerous threads with great interest!
    You appear to confirm my previous conclusion that you are either a 'wind up artist' or merely enjoy being controversial,I feel it could be both!!Your arms must ache swimming against the tide.
    Have read your original purpose for joining AC,but to date have found few posts to support that;perhaps I missed them!

    Yeh, when I first come on here, there were some very helpfull understanding people who understood what you were going through every day.
    Now I'm a bit baffled by some of the comments on here, and feel a bit sad about them. Instead of having a gander on here every few days, it's more like every few weeks, and now I know why. Alanthemanc
