Could the disabled now be the target of a government hate 
campaign?

Gordon Brown made a "surprise" visit to Real Radio last 
week.  On a radio station which plays music, they threw 
the Breakfast Show aside to allow the Labour Leader (and 
un-elected Prime Minister) to do a phone-in.  It would 
seem that the station owners (GMG) are taking sides.

Anyhow, one of the questions was about the disabled.  The 
caller suggested that disabled people were not really 
disabled, just spongers.  Someone she knew was on 
disability but, according to her, was fitter than her.
Clearly, far too many people have a very narrow view of 
disabiliies.  If they don't see a wheelchair or white stick, 
they believe that a person is perfectly fit.  They do not 
seem to get the concept of hidden disabilities, which can 
be as severe as visible ones.
But this seems far too perfect for a PM who has destroyed 
the economy and now wants to take money from the disabled.

Labour have previously been exposed as using stooges to 
ask the questions that they want to answer or to appear 
to meet the PM, fake letters in local papers "letters" 
pages and using renta-mobs to create disturbances at 
opposition events (like the recent disturbance at BBC).

The radio station stated that the PM turned up in secrecy, 
nobody could know in advance.  Could they really get a 
phone-in to run perfectly, with well worded questions and 
answers, when nobody knew in advance?  Short notice, with 
just one question to ask, does a person ask the PM what 
he is going to do about one local "sponger", or does 
this seem a little too much like a scripted question time 
with stooges?

Through such tactics and advertising campaigns "targeting 
benefit fraud", they made the public hate the unemployed 
to the point where employers refuse to employ them.  Are 
the disabled now the target of such a hate campaign, so 
that the government can throw them off the benefit that 
they rely on to live as best they can?


Best regards,
Peter.

At least 20 knew he would be on air - secretaries, security, himself etc etc 
etc

Its not just the able bodied who have that attitude. I've had disabled
people tell me there's nothing wrong with me far more than able bodied
have ever done.

Generally when I nick the last disabled space or when they see me
putting the shopping in the car with my walking stick in plain sight
next to me.
