I was just at a meeting, and I think I just saw one of the most horrific, disturbing an heartbreaking images of my life. It was a discussion session, where people talk about things on their mind. One lady was speaking: she had fairly severe CP – worse than mine or Lyn’s – and was speaking using VOCA and a head-switch. She was telling us how concerned she was about the future; about how she had had a letter about the bedroom tax. Then she kind of broke down: onher face was look of sheer panic and fear, genuine, absolue fear. A look I’d never seen before, but one which filled my heart with rage. How could anyone subject such a person to this type of anxiety? How could any government do this. The tories have an alternative, but they would rather subject disabled people to this tax, pushing them to a state where they fear for their lives, than use it. How could they do this? How the fuck could they? I’m sorry, but anyone who can allow such things to come about is not quite human, and deserves only the hatred of anyone who cares. In that moment, I felt a hatred and anger like no other: that which Ahab felt for the white whale is nothing compared to what I now feel for Camoron’s government. Frankly, if they can let such things come about, they and the mindless pricks who voted for them deserve slow, painful deaths.
