   There used to be a disability rights programmed on Radio 4 called "Does He Take Sugar". They cancelled it many years ago, said any disability content would be found within You&Yours, the consumer rights programme. I pointed out that having to listen to 45mins 5 days a week just in case they might mention disability stuff was a lot harder than listening to one 28min prog a week where you could be *sure* it would be relevant.
   
   I also hear all the time there is no need for public buildings (eg dentist surgeries) to mention whether the building is accessible, as *all* buildings are accessible. Disabled people are just automatically included in all policy so we don't need policy officers.
   
   Oh look, a flock of flying pigs!

     @FeartnTired Kind of like how they rolled up the old Disability Rights Act into the Equality Act 2010. Now we're just one on a list, and usually an afterthought.
     This book was published 2011, so now out of date re some of our laws, but still a hugely important book.
     Your library should be able to order it.
