A Cunting for disabled people who take advantage.
What set me off was watching a recording of the Calcutta Cup when they panned to the crowd to show a gentleman enthusiastically clapping a conversion from his wheelchair in the front row of the crowd….now nothing particularly wrong with that,you’d think,eh?… well apart from the fact that the old malingerer had his guide-dog next to him and was wearing dark glasses. If he was blind,why did he need one of the best seats in the house? If he was listening through an earpiece,well,they might as well have sat him at the back where it would have been easier to get him and his dog out in the event of an emergency.
I’ve since discovered that a lot of disabled people get into sporting events for free,not just free,but the best seats and a cheap pass for their carer. What a fucking disgrace. They’ll be getting their benefits and probably a free car too,so why should they get things on the cheap?
I’m aware that some disabled people have it hard,but if they can pluck up the vim to go sauntering into Murrayfield with their guide-dog,they can’t be taking a lot of harm…and if they can see enough to watch a game of rugby through dark glasses,I’d be questioning their need for a guide-dog,never mind subsidised admittance.
I also have quite strong views on the Mobility scheme that dishes out free cars to the disabled. Most of these cars seem to be used by family members,which they would be..I mean most disabled people don’t tend to go out for long country drives…unless they’re on the way to a free(for them) major sporting event,presumably. Even if they do need a car,why can’t they just pay for it out of their benefits,the same as most dole-wallahs use their benefits for tattoos,lottery-tickets and fast-food.?
Fuck them.
