    I've found its been getting worse since the current political party has been incharge. I've had comment like your fat get out of that chair and walk. When it's not my wait that has made me WC bound the wait has come after it. Then I've had those that treat my like I'm dumb . Which to me is even worse.

    so yes I shall sign

    I've found that discrimination and abuse have got worse since the current government have been in power too. I've had people shouting "WALK PROPERLY!" and "I TOLD YOU, YOUR DISABILITY IS YOUR OWN FAULT!".
