I just got home from a long but nonetheless great day. A couple of days ago I got an email from my comrades at the Greenwich Association of Disabled People, inviting me to go and participate in a film they were making about the Assisted Dying bill in Parliament Square. To be honest I didn’t quite know what they were getting at, but keen filmmaker and activist that I am, I set out this morning sensing the potential for awesomeness.

I don’t think I was wrong. I got to Parliament Square slightly early, and to be honest had a bit of trouble finding the group of people I needed to. When I did filming had already started, but it quickly turned into quite an awesome afternoon. Every day it becomes clearer to me how incredible it is to live independently in this great city; but that can only continue if I continue to get the right support to do so. That can only happen if disabled people put pressure on the government. That is what today’s filming was about, and I was thrilled to be able to contribute.

Expect updates on the finished film before long!
