Everything is murder,genocide or violence these days.
The ads aren’t actually bad.
The government is full of fucknuggets who would love the disabled to disappear, doubly so those claiming PIP.
Two things can be true at the same time.
>But the campaign has drawn criticism on social media since its launch, with some claiming it could open disabled people up to insensitive and intrusive questions about their disability.
You missed the point of the campaign.
And no it doesn’t.
This campaign is actually clever and well done.
But the professional whingers have got to try to be offended on everybody else’s behalf.
>”Adults, children and carers cannot afford medication, can’t afford fuel, can’t afford food. Income isn’t enough to keep people alive and we see this over the winter months, the excess deaths,” he said.
“These are things that the government should be campaigning about.”
They’re trying to fix that but the global economy is in the shit and nobody can snap their fingers and fix that.
The ad campaign is to stop discrimination and mistreatment of disabled people.
Why is that bad?
As a carer for a disabled partner, it’s not our job to educate you because someone looks a little funny.
Disabled people already get shit. This purple washing will do nothing but give people permission to question why a disabled person is getting something thier not. Oh you’ve a blue badge holder, you look ok. Oh you’re using a walking stick and look chubby, lose weight fatty. Oh your weaving around, are you drunk.
I have no faith on a government that has spent a decade making disabled people’s lives worse. I, and many other carers and disabled people have no faith in this campaign to do anything but make things worse.
Government meanwhile:
“Can’t touch this”
Nah but we can touch your money and take away your PIP, cos we don’t think you’re actually disabled
