About last night. Yesterday evening I played a benefit show for @able2uk - a disabled rights / access group set up by my friend Howard. The show was fun (and I got to meet some folks off the telly!) but the highlight was Howard.

This is...I just can't think of polite comments. Here in the Midlands a terminally ill woman has been told her complex needs son will be moved from the home he lives, away from his friends, to a nursing home after she dies. Right at the time he'll need his friends.

You could donate your unwanted wheelchair to your local Lions Club. From time to time they are likely to receive requests for these items from the public or Social Services. Contact @LionsClubsUKIRE or @lionsclubs to find your nearest club.

Ryanair blames Stansted, Stansted blames Ryanair, and nothing gets done about it? Hopefully @TanyaleeDavis gets something sorted soon and that changes to procedure are made.

This is disgusting from EasyJet. I phoned their special assistance line, as my husband is a disabled veteran & they wouldn't help as he wasn't in a wheelchair.I tweeted my anger & eventually a senior manager phoned & sorted. Wrong you have to prove disability.
