If you are still under any naive illusion that anti-disabled vitriol is not rising, just read this. GB News now claims it has nothing to apologise for after a so-called commentator and comedian came onto one of it’s shows and started spouting off that disabled people should be starved or even shot as a way to cut the benefits bill. The unfunny, untalented wanker, who I won’t even dignify by naming, was obviously trying to attract attention by being controversial; but I don’t think there’s anything even vaguely amusing about denying any minority their right to live. What troubles me is that this is a symptom of a fast-growing undercurrent of anti-disability vitriol: what is currently construed as just joking or having a laugh can quickly become outright prejudice and discrimination if we’re not careful.
