I daresay it’s high time I brought you some proper disability news, so I think I’ll send you here. A legal challenge has been mounted to try to stop the closure of the Independent Living Fund (ILF) which thousands of disabled people rely on for their survival. The government say they want to replace it with more local systems, but that just means passing the buck to local councils in order to save money. Given that such councils don’t have the funds to replace it, thousands of disabled people stand to loose their independence. The ILF MUST be saved, then, and I really hope this challenge succeeds. I’m really sick of these tory bastard putting their selfish desire to lower tax before the needs of disabled people.
