Lost for words

-

I’m delighted that “Lost Voice Guy” Lee Ridley won Britain’s Got Talent. However, I’m not at all sure about the slogans on the T-shirts he wore.

Today with many disabled people suffering far more abuse than ever before, I really don’t think “I’M ONLY IN IT FOR THE PARKING” and “I WAS DISABLED BEFORE IT WAS POPULAR” helps with addressing that very serious issue.

Sadly, with the mentality of many, slogans like these are likely to elicit more abuse for disabled people like himself. JUDI MARTIN
