For 13 years #disabled people have been waging war on the #Tories using the courts. They've had to organise, plan, raise funds and (because of illness and some disabilities) put themselves in harms way physically and mentally due to stress.

All of this has been done with little to no support from

The unions
Left wing parties
The Left wing media
Jeremy Corbyn
Left wing Labour MPs
Able-bodied Left wingers.

By a strange coincidence a lot of the above have spluttered about the Tories but done no actual fighting.

Rallies and general back slapping each other don't count.

Even the unions have only engaged in the last 2 years out of THIRTEEN.

Corbyn is the exception. But Corbyn gave uck all support to disabled activists doing the fighting, barely even mentioned them. Even though it is

THE DISABLED who have bore the brunt of suffering and deaths from Tory Britain. NOT the 'hard (abled) workers' that the Left love to go on about.

And the Left do mean ableds when they talk about 'hard workers' and 'working families'.

Yet every day I see demands that I and other disabled people support this strike, or that strike, or this union, or that one, or Corbyn's new thingy or some new piddley teeny tiny Left wing group. Or Left wing politics. Or some Lefty gobshte.

Well where was their support for disabled people?

Where was/ is the support from the demanding, braying Left?

And why should I, a member of a community left by the Left to starve and die at the hands of the Tories, give a flying fig what the Left wants?
