Well, I guess we won't be visiting #Dobbies garden centres again. We've been going for years because they clearly label gluten free food and have a nice little soft play for the kid. Today they refused to serve me because company policy is apparently not to serve people with food allergies/intollerances.
To be clear, this policy is #illegal - it is no different to building a ramp and then banning all wheelchair users.

#Starmer & #Reevesâ #Labour currently following in the #Conservativesâ footsteps - goose-stepping all the way to #democide / #genocide of even more #disabled folk. Some 300,000 killed via #austerity and the (deliberate?) tragic #Covid19 mis-management fiasco. How many do the #reds intend to kill off?

Disability Rights UK (#DRUK), said: âWith almost 60 per cent of #Covid deaths being those of #disabled people, it is hardly surprising that the Covid inquiry found that pre-#pandemic planning failed to take sufficient account of those with pre-existing conditions, those living in deprivation or those from minority ethnic communities.â

âThe #UK signed the #disabilities convention in 2009, but it has still not been incorporated into British law.
In 2016, an inquiry by the #UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD) found that the UK was in breach of three of the Convention's articles
The same inquiry found that welfare reforms introduced since 2010 had "adversely" affected #disabled people.â

#UK still officially failing #disabled folk, that is 1:5 Brits.
âThe [#UN] Committee [#UNCRPD] finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discriminationâŠâ

Even though the employer had initially included the employee on a list for a reduction in force before knowing about her disability, they didn't actually terminate her employment until after they became aware of her disability. A reasonable jury could conclude that the employee's dismissal was largely influenced by her disability. #DisabilityDiscrimination #EmploymentLaw https://blog.helmerfriedman.com/jury-could-find-termination-substantially-motivated-by-disability/

This may be by way of taxi-cabs in urban areas or private vehicles in rural areas. Nevertheless, cars will always be needed. #accessibility #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilityAwareness
