I think a lot of the hatred of disabled benefit claimants (including people aggressively and inaccurately labelling people as malingerers) is based on envy. My theory is UBI would make people less hateful of disabled people as they'd be getting money too.

Surely we could lose even more than the LCWRA payment? Couldn't I be sanctioned and lose the housing element too if they got rid of this group? If they force me to prepare for work I won't be able to and could lose everything.

I’d personally send every NHS employee to customer service training, with a full 12 week course for male consultants who has ever told a woman her pain was “probably anxiety” and physios who have suggested people with post-vital illness try exercise. But this is a start, babe!

I have a fun form of aphantasia where I can pretty much only visualise a scene in a book or from an anecdote if it is horrible 😭 worst of both worlds.

They don't collect glass in my part of the country either (Suffolk) I'm disabled and have to collect it up and give it to other people. Very annoying. I just use a big shopper bag in my kitchen, not an elegant solution. Glass is heavy so uses extra fuel to collect curbside.

Not sure if that man can die, feel like he's pickled himself in diet coke
