I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay.

Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

DPAC is doing excellent work bringing everyone together and taking positive action. Snag is I live in rural Norfolk and, as a wheelchair user, the London actions are inaccessible. That must also apply to thousands of other disabled people who would be ready to take action. Perhaps we could organise local positive action? Heddwch. Mike.

Well done, all you Disabled Activists. I wish I had been there...handcuffed, blocking Regents Street. Unfortunately I am out of the country. We need more of these blockades (Downing Street, Houses of Parliament, BBC television and broadcasting centres etc.) to make the Con-Dem government that our protests are serious, and we will disrupt as much as necessary to force the anti-disabled regime from destroying our freedom and independent living.

The NHS, like any other organisation are welcome to use this site as an information gathering tool. I have never been described as a fig leaf before, if I am I will be gone by Autumn. I most certainly work independently from any organisation that I belong to in my own time; I do my best to support the organisations I am a member of, and progress their causes and campaigns; I would never bring any negative criticiscm to any organisations I belong too; the Social Model is always at the forefront on any issues I champion; I do also abide by the "Seven Nolan Princibles of Public Office".
