Those who think in such narrow terms have no place in government.

Today I would like to direct you here, to an E-petition calling for the resignation of Colin Brewer. A councillor in cornwall, Brewer apologised and resigned earlier this year after commenting that ‘disabled children should be put down’, but was re-elected earlier this month. I’m sorry but I don’t want such a scumbag anywhere in government, local or national. He likens kids with disabilities to farmyard animals which, if ‘misshapen’, are shot. I deeply resent that equation: as a child I was not useless, and nor am I now. Frankly I can’t think of anything worse: the thought of any child, disabled or not, being murdered just because some arrogant little man deemed it ‘useless’ chills the blood. Surely those who think in such narrow terms have no place in government.
