Imagine wearing a bionic arm daily for 3 years and then being told you have to undergo a trial to prove to the NHS that you’re a good candidate for the technology and wait upto 2 years. Bev is one of many NHS patients that have been turned away despite the policy change. 😭🤯
How can this be right @NHSEngland ? Despite wearing a @openbionics multi grip hand for 3 YEARS I now have to join a 2 yr waiting list to then have to trial 2 multi grip hands. This is a total waste of money. Why should I have to prove myself AGAIN? You're disabling me #disability

What does Satan look like?
Strange, disturbing, and unintentionally funny: this is a brief history of the Devil in art...

Perhaps one of the most enigmatic gables in the country: St. John's Court in Malmesbury is a C17th almshouse which incorporates a beautiful C12th doorway from a former chapel on the site. Lovely example of Cotswold vernacular building.

It would be so sad if a visually impaired person who is not me needed to use that tactile paving, bumped into the car parked on it and scratched the absolute holy hell out of the side of it with their keys 🤔 I hope that doesn’t happen.

Last Parky vid before bed. I've posted this before but it's a belter.
I give you, Parky, Billy Connolly, and Kenny Everett with a suitcase full of toys.

Disabled activists have vowed to fight back against government-backed plans for sweeping closures of ticket offices across England – including at some major city stations – with legal action now almost certain.

The next time you're lying in bed counting sheep, you might like to try out the counting system that was used by shepherds In medieval Lincolnshire.
From 1-20, the numbering sequence ran as follows: Yan, Tan, Tethora, Pethera, Pimp, Sethera, Lethera, Hovera, Covera, Dik ...

Disabled people are under attack.
Disabled children are under attack.
Carers are under attack.
This bile, this rot, this vile, RW, hate-driven cold sore of a debate was instigated by IDS, blown up by @JeremyVineOn5 & now this abomination of a tabloid.
I’m shaking with rage.

Hmm @limebike ? Not sure this is a good look? Hmm @CamdenCouncil ? Not a good look for you either. Whatever when someone gets hurt, you'll both be liable. Because this cannot continue without serious action!

It's Blue Badge Parking. Pure & simple. Otherwise this is a bay for anyone.
Let alone the fact that disabled isn't a dirty word!
Please @BootsUK correct this ASAP & do not repeat. Ever.
