These disability sports fans are not helping to militate for such provision, they harm our cause. We want public service providers to remember their obligations under disbility equality duty.We could do without the semi-gray-thompsons distracting from our needs by giving the impression disabled people can could or should just ape traditional sportsmen and athletes. Prof Hawkins cannot, nor can your arthritic mum on a zimmer frameThose damnable government officials with exhortations to the general public to "take a brisk daily walk" are hurtful, as well as non DED compliant. Best thing they could do is follow their own advice, briskly, off the end of a pier.
