disrespect for the diabled.

Ann from West Harbour

Hi all. Just wondering who would be the most vulnerable people in the the community. let me see would it be people with disabilities that are not able to speak for themselves or people with pimples on their dickies. I have a 24yr old son with special needs and all we are trying to do is live as normal a life as possible. BUT alas at every turn we have some bureaucratic idiot that wants to put a spanner in the works. I can't say too much at the moment as I have to attend tribunal on Friday. But believe me when this is over I will have that much to say that you will be sick of me. I don't usually do this sort of thing, but it's probably about time I did have my say. Sorry to rant, but you have probably guessed I AIN"T happy. Thanks Ann
