  1. As an aside; the Zionist is discriminating against the visually impaired. To get an idea of the problem, try reading "ℝ𝕠𝕘𝕖𝕣, 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔽𝕠𝕩" with Windows Narrator.

  2. Well, I guess we won't be visiting #Dobbies garden centres again. We've been going for years because they clearly label gluten free food and have a nice little soft play for the kid. Today they refused to serve me because company policy is apparently not to serve people with food allergies/intollerances.

    To be clear, this policy is #illegal - it is no different to building a ramp and then banning all wheelchair users.

  3. #Starmer & #Reeves#Labour currently following in the #Conservatives’ footsteps - goose-stepping all the way to #democide / #genocide of even more #disabled folk. Some 300,000 killed via #austerity and the (deliberate?) tragic #Covid19 mis-management fiasco. How many do the #reds intend to kill off?

    Without #DisabilityRights
    there is #DisabilityDiscrimination
    which permits #DisabilityHate
    and ultimately #DisabilityDeath.

  4. Disability Rights UK (#DRUK), said: “With almost 60 per cent of #Covid deaths being those of #disabled people, it is hardly surprising that the Covid inquiry found that pre-#pandemic planning failed to take sufficient account of those with pre-existing conditions, those living in deprivation or those from minority ethnic communities.”

  5. “The #UK signed the #disabilities convention in 2009, but it has still not been incorporated into British law.
    In 2016, an inquiry by the #UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD) found that the UK was in breach of three of the Convention's articles
    The same inquiry found that welfare reforms introduced since 2010 had "adversely" affected #disabled people.”

  6. #UK still officially failing #disabled folk, that is 1:5 Brits.

    “The [#UN] Committee [#UNCRPD] finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination…”

  7. 4/4 By going into contracts w/Dollar General for the sole manner to return the required FedEx packages, you require your customers to stand, walk, and drive. This is #disabilitydiscrimination.

  9. @batat Cars are a necessity for many #disabled &/or #ChronicallyIll individuals (c. third of US and quarter UK pops.) to #access health, services & shops. This may be by way of taxi-cabs in urban areas or private vehicles in rural areas. Nevertheless, cars will always be needed. #accessibility #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilityAwareness

  10. This, after they discriminated against me as a Deaf customer (“my supervisor will call you”) and assumed I have $1300 to put on hold to get a replacement device even though I’ve paid for Apple Care. I told them multiple times throughout the chat that I was not happy with the support I was given and was actually pretty angry. This is so incredibly inappropriate.

  11. “There must be a long-term focus on ending lower living standards for #Disabled people coupled with immediate higher financial payments for Disabled people experiencing the devastating impact of the financial crisis.” - But #UKgov will do nothing as usual!

  14. Autistic Employee Precedent

    So apparently being #ActuallyAutistic in the UK means you are a risk to all children, and you should disclose your autism to everyone so they can shun you appropriately and make sure you never work with kids. I guess that means it's ok for them to take away your own kids too?
