How about journalists investigate the huge surplus motability runs, how much their top staff are paid, and how much people had to pay when to keep the car when they lost pip in criteria reforms. Pip money is meant to pay for care too, can't if you spent it on the car/wheelchair/scooter. Also try buying the care you need for what pip allows.
Or you could just sound off about disabled being scroungers, it's not like attacks on disabled are up. We live such enviable lives.
Oh and I'm "scrounging" £28/wk, total. So fuck off.

@FeartnTired Yes. It is hard not to take it personally.
But, really, someone else showing off their arrogance, stupidity, and cruelty is more about them being petty, cruel morons than it is about anything to do with you.
Even when it has a catastrophic impact on your life.
I mean, saying "it isn't personal" when you ruin someone's life is actually worse than if you said you hate them.

@FeartnTired Gives me the rage.
But, a fish doesn't see water, and they don't see their privilege.

@GrumpyOldNurse like you were saying earlier in a reply about PTSD, they assume 1. *that* won't happen to them and also 2. even if it did they'd cope better than you do. followed by 3. them not coping well with the *that* is proof that theirs is worse than yours.

@FeartnTired It's like after that idiot shot up the movie theater and other idiots were going online saying how people need more guns because then someone would have shot him. In the dark. In a crowded theater. When they weren't expecting it.
Ok, Deadshot. How's Harley Quinn and the rest of the Suicide Squad doing these days?
Idiot.

@GrumpyOldNurse it's very hard not to take it personally. they might be idiots. ok they for sure are, but some of them are in charge of stuff you need. and the assumption is that I either choose to live like this, or I'm too stupid to do the thing that will magically fix everything.

@FeartnTired Very true words.
So many people mistake their good fortune for personal skill.

@GrumpyOldNurse OMG So much that. I'm absolutely sick of it.
