Thuggish attack on wheelchair user shows anti-disability prejudice is alive and thriving
It says everything about the UK under Conservative rule that people feel empowered to physically abuse the most vulnerable in society.
It’s bad enough that racism is running rampant but disablism is at a high – all thanks to attitudes carefully nurtured by the Tories and their lackey media.
Thugs are following the example of the Tories, whose attitude is that they can do whatever they want to whoever they want.
The Tories have spent years denying the existence of disabled people’s impairments, starving them of benefits until many of them have died – just as they have denied black and minority ethnic people’s right even to live in the UK.
Is it any wonder, then, that incidents like this happen?
Police are hunting a violent thug who attacked a disabled wheelchair user by smacking him in the face.
An investigation into the alleged incident has been launched after a man reported being verbally abused on Florence Place, Perth, on Wednesday June 17.
The victim, who was using an electric wheelchair, was verbally abused with a disgusting comment about his disability before being approached by two males.
He was then left with a facial injury after being whacked by one of the men.
