Blimey! I was just lying on the sofa watching the news, having just done a couple of hours on my thesis, when I saw a report of a guy herranging CaMoron on inclusion. It took me quite by surprise. Apparently, the man was angry because his kid had been excluded from mainstream school and had to go to a special school. Rather amusingly, CaMoron was trying to claim that he agreed with the guy, trying to tell the guy his usual speel about ‘reversing the trend’, but the guy was telling CaMoron what he had put in his own manifesto. He pointed out that, under the Tories, the closure of special schools would be reversed.

Doesn’t this say a lot about CaMoron? Trying to be all things to all people, pretending he’s some kind of champion for disabled people, yet actually intending to repress us. He even distorts what he has in his own manifesto. The guy is a joke – a shallow, despicable joke. Inclusion must proceed wherever possible – my voluntary. work has made me more certain of this, although it has made me more aware of the problems involved. It is not a simple problem, but what is certain is that we cannot reverse the trend towards inclusion.
