I have two disability-related stories to direct you to today. Firstly, this shocking story of a wheelchair user ripped from his car and tasered by the police. He had forgotten to pay twenty pounds at a petrol station, but according to the cops that meant he deserves what sounds like a savage, brutal beating. How can they get away with such things?

Secondly, I just saw this story on the news of a young lady with autism. You know, now I come to think about it, I’m not sure why it was on the news other than to satisfy the public fascination with unusual people. The young lady is so confused by traffic that she can’t go out alone. I suppose by linking to the story I could be accused of being just as bad as the beeb, but I felt I ought to daw your attention to it so you could look at it critically.
