    There are members who are going to be able to come on this forum every couple of days and discuss these reforms from beginning to passed legislation and it helps them to talk about it. 

    Is one of the members me? Dwelling on past legislation helps them somehow?

    😶 well I did say I'm not good at explaining things but um um no. How strange! How worrying. Sorry for spoiling your thread.

    edit :

    I just read the latest times article and I think I just crashed

    Sound like as an autistic person I’m about 2 experience nil points x 2 (and they want to make it harder to appeal

    I think I’m putting my doc ideas on hold till next week after the green paper has been published and those organisations with the knowledge can break things down and determine the likelihood and if the disabled community online step up the fighting talk or start ‘resigning to fate’

    Obviously the times article was written to disillusion and kick the fight from the disabled community as the noise we were making was turning into an unstoppable tornado for this labour gov

    Stay safe and take an internet break if necessary - the Tory top team obviously aim to go tough this week (Laura k this Sunday is going to be soul destroying isn’t it?)

    oh @WhatThe - just when I thought we cleared the air

    I had no specific scope members name in my mind when I typed the above

    I just know that some scope members like coming to chat every other day and as reforms will be huge news for months to come and will be probably discussed every day - lots of scope members do come on this forum to chat regularly as many ppl get comfort talking over things

    Passed legislation- I’m referring to any future legislation that may be needed for reforms in the upcoming green paper to become law

    I can’t continue to apologise every time you think I’ve mocked you specifically - I know I can be blunt but the idea of being knowingly mean is, well mean!


    prehaps it is time to be selfish and take some time for myself (I’ve written a lot the past week - prehaps that needs to be enough until we know ‘form of the beast’ contained in the green paper (can’t fight till you know the form of your opposition)
