#Thread Good morning you lovey lot! I see that a government minister (not sure which) has come out with the tried and tested bollocks of 'work more hours or get a better job'. Two things: more hours won't help people on UC because any extra money is just 1

taken off their benefit, so they are effectively working longer just to save the government money rather than actually improving their own financial situation. Also, the idea that people can just wave a magic wand to get a better paid job is a complete logical fallacy.2

Even if it weren't, who does that leave to do all the low paid (not low skilled) jobs that the hypothetical people who moved onto better paid jobs aren't doing any more? Seriously the fact that they are recycling this tired old trope shows that the posh version of the Mafia 3

Right. The following is a list of legends! People who for a multitude of reasons brighten my days, when sometimes they don't even realise they are doing it. I'm so happy to know them all. Without further ado here we go! As always it's (mostly) #INPO 1

Right, rant time! #Thread I rang the passport office, About my rejected photo, because my wheelchair handles are in the background. got through and the bloke on the other end said that I would need to POST a letter from my GP explaining my condition. 1

So I rang my GP surgery, to ask for this letter, only to be told that I had to ask for it online in writing. I was also told that there may be a charge for the letter. Having filled in the request form and submitted it, I have no idea when anybody will get back to me.... 2

Honestly, the hoops we have to jump through to get what most nondisabled people take for granted! I mean, why should we have to post evidence when we've applied online? Why can't we submit the file digitally. And also, why should disabled people have to...3

Right then, this is part two of the thread, released on Tuesday about what it is like for me to go abroad on holiday. This is my personal experience and may not reflect the experiences of other disabled people. We will start from where one left off. 1

Boarding the plane can be either easy or complicated. It is much easier if the gate and the plane are connected via an Air Bridge, meaning I can be wheeled right up to the door of the plane. If not, it's the more complicated method: the 'Magic Bus'. 2

The Magic Bus is a vehicle that allows people who cannot walk up (or down) the plane steps to get onto the plane via a platform that is carefully raised to be level with one of the plane doors, either the front or the back, depending on the airline.3

Ok, you lovely lovely people asked for it, so here it is. A thread on what it's like for me as a wheelchair user with practically no independent movement to go on holiday abroad. Part one will cover background info and The airport experience. 1

We start with some background. When I go on holiday, I go with my parents. They are completely fundamental not only to my life but also to this thread. Furthermore, I don't take my massive electric wheelchair with me, I have a manual one, which I use for places...2

That are not conducive to the use of a big heavy machine. (Spoiler. Depending on where you go, that can be practically everywhere) . Also, it is important to note that some airlines do not allow electric wheelchairs on board due to the weight and lithium iron battery.3
