In my entry yesterday I neglected to mention something very important which was also happening Friday. There was a huge protest by people with disabilities at the Atos headquarters in Euston. It got quite a bit of media attention, including this report from the bbc. Of course, these protests have my wholehearted support: there is no reason why one cannot get fully behind our Paralympics team while being opposed to the fascist organisation sponsoring the games. After all, the Paralympic athletes themselves had nothing to do with the selection of the sponsor. But seeing the Atos logo at the games does put a bad taste in my mouth: the Paralympics is doing so much good for the profile of disabled people in general, it is just a shame that a company doing so much harm to many disabled people will be allowed to benefit from it.
