(not satire – it’s UK today)
This report shows how disabled people in the UK are being hit the hardest by government cuts:
And that’s exactly how the government has been able to get away with its vicious attacks on the weakest and most vulnerable members of society for so long. In fact, it’s the worse case of ‘Us‘ versus ‘Them‘ I’ve seen in a long time.
The fact is that disability affects all of us because every single one of us is going to be disabled eventually.
Of course, some people are born with a disability. But many more people have accidents or become sick sometime.
And we all become old.
People dying of cancer, for example, are not exempt from the government’s cuts:
The government has finally done something so outrageous even I can’t be bothered to satirise it
The real question is – will you be able to afford to live as full a life as possible without any outside help when you become sick or have an accident or just get old?
Because the real ‘Us‘ versus ‘Them‘ isn’t able-bodied versus disabled.
It’s ‘rich enough to survive‘ versus ‘the rest of us‘.
Which one are you?
