Cameron again shows his hate for the afflicted

I have to say, as much as I despise David Cameron and all that he and his ilk stand for, he sure does make a blogger's life very easy.  Today, we read of the contempt he holds for those with Tourette's Syndrome with his likening of them to Ed Balls.  If it wasn't so damned infantile it would be downright insulting to be compared to a guy who reminds me of someone who collects stamps and dresses in Farah slacks when he isn't acting like a bit of a buffoon in the house, but that is indeed what it is ... infantile.  Certainly not becoming of the third most powerful person in the UK.

It shows the utter disregard he holds for the disadvantaged in society, those he is currently crucifying via leaving them penniless and hungry, after cruelly denying their disability in a humiliating dressing down by a firm that specialises in disability denial after being hired in 2005 for that very purpose.  As if Dave's prejudices are not bad enough, Gideon Osborne is no saint.  Gordon Brown was the unfortunate victim of his ignorance, being described as "faintly autistic".  I'm sure Gordo just took it in his stride, but i'm sure autistic people all around the country felt a little uneasy at being used to ridicule the, then, most hated man in the country.

It is all not very nice is it, and a very sharp precursor to the attitudes of a party with an obvious aversion to disability rights and social justice.  I don't hold out much hope for the less advantaged in our country, they can prepare for a very rough time.  Fight it people, don't swallow Dave's kool-aid like he wants you to.  It's laced with arsenic.
