The DDA has been largely replaced by the Equality Act 2010, of which the website says:- The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect disabled people and prevent disability discrimination. It provides legal rights for disabled people in the areas of:

Further to my previous post, I should like to ask you all, and as many others as you can enlist, to email Unite’s Head of Political Department, John O’Regan, asking that Unite, and

The Coalition is dedicated to persecuting the sick and disabled, and now Milliband says Labour will cuddle up to the “squeezed middle” of society. Great, they don’t give a shit about us either. There is the possibility of support from the unions, as Unite’s Len McCluskey’s ‘alliance of resistance’ speech hits the news, aimed at [...]

Still tediously crawling through Francis Parkman’s The Oregon Trail (Kindle), and, god, it’s dull. As far as I can see there was no reason for this ill-equipped and ill-considered expedition other than Parkman’s obsession with the Plains Indians, whom he tended to regard as rather lethal children.
