But as I said months ago, the disabled are the easiest political target due to their small numbers, we have seen attacks on other parts of society failing due to the overwhelming negative press response. They simply refuse to see anything other than cutting expenditure as the way forward.

Cuts that effect the genuine disabled are wrong, but part of the reason no one is all that bothered is due to fraudsters. We all have a neighbor or know of someone who is onbenefits, gets a free car, never goes to work but is blatantly abusing the system.
I know a fella who apparently can barely walk unaided but a few weeks ago walked 3 miles from a pub having left his "walking aid" behind. I've also seen him get out a taxi and have to run behind it waving it down having left his walking aid in it an walked up his drive unaided.
