Tory opinion poll asks ‘degrading’ question about disability – and it will help form national policy
As a man in a relationship with someone who has a disability, I can confirm that this is disgustingly inappropriate.
What do you think of this tweet by the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire?
Why is this question being asked in the government’s survey which will help formulate their National Strategy for Disabled People?
Respondents have told me it’s ‘degrading’, ‘intrusive, inappropriate and insensitive’.

Four those who can’t read images well, the question is: “Do you agree or disagree that you would be happy to have a physical relationship with a disabled person?”
The implication is that people with disabilities are sub-human and should not enjoy the same relationships as the rest of us – and that shows despicable prejudice by the Tory government.
As I say, my own partner has a disability so I know this subject very well.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
