About this

Martyn Harris article from The Daily Telegraph questioning the costs and actual number of potential beneficiaries of the recently wrecked Civil Rights (Disabled persons) Bill. He Goes on to deride the use of more appropriate descriptive language (like "wheelchair user" instead of "wheelchair-bound") as political correctness that can only alienate "sensible people." He argues that disability rights is "the welfare state grown monstrously bloated," due the actions of self-righteous activists and Telethon celebrities. His main bone of contention seems to be that a working class man with a disabled relative once challenged him for using a disabled toilet.
