There is something very wrong happening to this country.
My DiL has recently broken her ankle and it is not healing as well as expected. Consequently she has to use a wheel chair at the moment on days when the swelling is too bad to walk with crutches.
They recently had a cruise from Southampton with 99% of British on board.
This is what they experienced.
DiL at the buffet with plate in one hand and serving spoon in the other helping herself. A woman became impatient because the wheelchair was presumably blocking what she wanted. She simple pushed DiL away entirely from the buffet.
Son and dial in wheelchair waiting to get the lift and found that when th3 lift opened people simply rushed in leaving them stood there, that was bad enough, but after this happening numerous times when the lift came son asked if someone would be so kind as to make room because they had been waiting so long. People stared and shut the lift doors.
DIL on crutches waiting for the loo. Woman came in with child bursting. She elbowed son out of the way, then reached to grade the crutches to push DiL out of the way. She was told to stop by son.
There were other instances, but this is apparently the sort of behaviour that is meted out to the disabled. Quite unbelievable and government attitude may well encourage it.
