Disabled Indonesians Required to Wear Traffic Signs

How very sensible.

Unlike what Cameron is proposing, ie trying to make things easier for the disabled and their parents.

Doesn't he know that this is only encouraging them?

First, someone thought a few disabled parking spaces here and there would be kind and considerate. Now, our supermarkets car parks have empty disabled spaces that the able bodied dare not use for fear of being fined.

Do we really want an increase in people claiming disabled privileges? Is it in the national interest to encourage the parasitical behaviour of the less productive at the expense of the more productive?

Cameron does, because he thinks they are electorally significant and increasing in number. No doubt they are a suitable audience to demonstrate his "Conservative compassion"?

These people are quite organised too, trawling the Internet for comments unflattering to the disabled and sending them hate mail. I have received quite a few in my time and expect to receive more.

Well, let me tell you this: the Indonesians will get richer and the British poorer, if we carry on like that.

When we get poor enough to be Indonesians, I suppose we will finally junk the insanity of privileging the disabled. They should be tolerated and treated compassionately, certainly, but not privileged and given a sense of entitlement.

There was a ridiculous discussion on Radio 4 last week at 9am on a weekday last week, consisting entirely of women discussing ante-natal screening. One of them, disabled and arrogant beyond belief, was objecting to this practice because it meant that fewer people like her would be born, because it was discriminatory.

Strangely, no one pointed out that most sane people don't want to be disabled or want a disabled child. If I were disabled, I wouldn't be wearing it as a badge of honour and lording it over everyone.

Even more strangely, she was treated with a kind of exaggerated deference that frankly made me feel quite nauseous, confirming to me that we are now suffering from a terminal form of national dementia.

The practice of disabled people always coming first is now turning into a cultural norm.

The other day I waited over half an hour to be served in a (former) building society.

To pass the time, & by way of making conversation, a customer was proposing the sensible view that there should be two queues - one for paying in and one for withdrawing money.

(Personally I think there should be a special queue for those people who - invariably black - enter without proper identification and attempt to withdraw money from other people's accounts!)

A manager was in earshot and responded sympathetically.

Or maybe a queue for those with 'special needs', she continued.

I suppose she meant disabled people who might find it just a bit too distressing to wait in line like everyone else.

But why should they be spared this inconvenience?

Don't we all have 'special needs'?

A disabled relative of mine (brother, actually) was in London recently with his professional helper or carer.

This person listed the attractions that would be cheap and/or free, simply because a disabled person was present.

No need to queue either!

I was queuing at a burger/hotdog stand some years ago and found myself being thumped on the back by a boy who clearly looked physically and mentally abnormal. His carer, a black woman, suggested that I let them go ahead because she was not sure if she could control him in his impatience to eat.

His mother was nearby, and was a cripple in a wheelchair, with her head hanging at a peculiar angle. She however managed to accomplish the feat of enticing a man into impregnating her and becoming a mother.

I expressed in no uncertain terms that I disapproved and was actually disgusted that such people should be allowed to foist their disabled selves and offspring on the taxpayer, but then let them go ahead, because I didn't fancy being thumped on the back by a deranged retard until I got to the head of the queue.

I think the carer said something like "Well, what can you do?" I said, rather eugenistically, "It shouldn't be allowed."
