davidgillon... is me beating my head against a brick wall in response to this tweet from Penny Mordaunt MP, Minister of State for Disabled People:
Happy #WDSD17 A day to celebrate and be inspired- meet Sarah: https://t.co/S5RkKh3vLx @ThistleKenGdns @FoxesAcademy #DisabilityConfident

Yep, that's the Minister of State for Disabled People celebrating World Downs Syndrome Day by saying how 'inspiring' it is that a young woman with Downs Syndrome actually has a job. Disabilityconfident she isn't.
I may have been inspired to a rant about the objectification of disabled people as 'inspiring'.
