the whole thing in the UK right now of a government minister saying that old people shouldn’t have drugs to prolong their life because it’s too expensive is absolutely chilling and is literally eugenics. like. there is no nice way of putting it, no amount of spin or softpedalling will make “this person is useless and too expensive to allow to live” is literally eugenics. however.

as a disabled person it’s also IMMENSELY FRUSTRATING because we been saying!! all this time we been saying that we’re being quietly purged by the dwp, and now that mentality is spreading and it’s terrifying! it’s not a position you work from and things get better – this is only going to get WORSE.

able people have no idea at all how it feels to know that someone has the ability to take away your means to live for the tiniest mistake, and now it’s popping up in elderly care and most of the population are SHOCKED and it’s like.

we sure aren’t. the mental and the cripples??? we’ve seen this coming a mile off, and people acted like we were tin hat conspiracy theorists.

I genuinely hope that every member of this government never ever ever sleeps well at night again, that they suffer unrelentingly, but given the fact they’re the nasty party, I won’t hold my fucking breath.
