A woman who was given the Freedom of the City of London for her disability campaigning was unable to collect the award on stage due lack of accessible ramp

1. More accurately, there was a ramp, but it never occurred to anyone to get it out.

   It happens with a lot of disability equipment – someone buys it, but if the site staff who put chairs out and such aren’t trained to use it or assume it will be needed, then that doesn’t make a venue accessible in practice.

2. Freedom of the street level of the city, in the parts you can get to easily*

3. That’s hilarious.
