There may be a plot by the disabled to assassinate me

In discussions in the Disabled People Against Claire Khaw Facebook group, the word "assassination" was used by a certain John Savage.

I fear that there is a plan being hatched by the #disabled for my #assassination. @riveninside @jwscullis11985 @Bocciasmithy

There are drive-by shootings and cycle-by shootings. Perhaps a wheelchair shooting for me? @riveninside @jwscullis11985 @Bocciasmithy

"I doubt it somehow. Mind you a wheelchair does make a raltively stable firing platform :)"

"Watch out for those mutiles de guerre!"

Me:

"Yet more threats on my life. This is all rather worrying. But if anything happens to me, and you hear of a spectacular assassination by wheelchair in the news, please care enough to mention this to the police so that the ringleaders are rounded up and questioned. 

The disabled should not be above the law, although they seem to think they have the right not to be offended.

In order that they are not offended, I must be forced to bring up any severely disabled baby I have, ruin my marriage and suffer a lonely old age with no normal child to at least make arrangements to send me into a home, just to please them.  It is quite clear that they do not think I should be allowed to say I do not wish to bring up a severely disabled child because they find this to be offensive.    

Surely this is not quite right?

Free speech is worth dying for. I think so anyway."

"how embarrasing....on your obiturary.....run over by a wheel chair!!....." 

Facebook friend 1:

"I wonder if the police would dare to do more than issue a caution these days. Prosecuting a mob of militant cripples would be such bad PR and bring down the censure of the liberal establishment... 

...even if they didn't have a leg to stand on."

Should I die in suspicious circumstances, the following may be able to help the police with their enquiries:

Proposed survey for MPs who supported the invasion of "Afraq"

The stabbing of Caesar on the Ides of March

In  the light of Stephen Timms' stabbing by an anti-war Muslim constituent, may I suggest that the BBC conduct a survey amongst the MPs who voted for the war?

They must be gravely concerned about their personal safety.  Indeed, some of them may even have  nightmares of being stabbed, Ides of March style, by their Muslim constituents, especially the ones who have constituencies in Muslim majority areas.

Below are 10 questions that could be put to them:

1. Now that you have the benefit of hindsight, would you still vote for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan if you could turn back time?

2. Was any pressure applied on you in any way at all to vote for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?

3. Was this pressure applied by the party whip?

4. Do you think the existence of the party whip has the effect of alienating a politician even further from his conscience and integrity?

5. Are you aware of Peter Bone's House of Commons Disqualification Bill due for a Second Reading on 10 December 2010?

 http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/houseofcommonsdisqualificationamendment.html

6. Has any pressure (explicit or implicit) been applied on you to not support this bill?

7. Did this pressure (explicit or implicit) come from your party whip or your leader?

8. Will you be giving in to this pressure or resisting it?

9. If you intend to give in to this pressure, ie not support the House of Commons Disqualification Bill, what are your reasons for doing so?

10. Would you like to express remorse for voting for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan in the hope of reducing the likelihood of being stabbed "Ides of March" style by your Muslim constituents?
