Mobility scooters, the law ?

Rodp,
please dont make asinine statements like that, I am disabled and have to use a powerchair through spinal problems , I alo have to take 80 mgms of morphine a day to try to keep the pain to a tolerable level which isn't often, so under your regime should I be forced to go to a gym and be forced to do exercise, it takes me all my strength to get out of bed in the morrning and 3 hours before I can function as the morphine takes effect.
yours
Graham.

I'm sorry to hear about your disability and pain Graham.

I read it as he was referring to fat people who are as fat as the overfed disabled thing on the wheelchair.

I agree with his prognosis regarding fat people who are as fat as the fat thing on the chair too. I have two sisters almost as fat and they eat fat making kak between smoking cigarettes and drink coke all day long which makes them even fatter, and they complain about being disabled.

When challenged about their disability they both concede they eat way too much fatty food.

Graham, you've jumped to the wrong conclusion here mate, read it out of context. I said, and I quote

They have trouble walking 'cause they're fat so they use a scooter, that makes them fatter so they walk even less.

I specifically didn't mention genuinely disabled folk. This is possibly one of the problems, whenever someone mentions fake disability or folk with minor disabilities then the genuine ones assume we're knocking them and jump up bearing arms. The malingerers then hide behind this barrage of facts and disappear into the undergrowth, letting the genuine grind the argument into submission.

Please don't assume we mean YOU, the genuinely disabled, when this sort of thing rears it's head. All you're doing is making it easier for the fat bas****s to laze about claiming benefits. And don't forget, if it wasn't for these you would be able to claim a decent standard of living, not subsistence.

I hope you don't suffer too much buddy, and I do genuinely feel for you
Cheers
Rod

May be a non starter now anyway, he persuaded us to finance him to buy a rev and go scooter He's a good lad, honest and trustworthy and they're few and far between. He's the sort that you can ring at 2am if the alarm goes off and he'll get up and come with you
