Sigh, indeed. And when disability activists were condemned as 'extremists' (and this was groups who were writing reports and raising petitions), it was one of the few* disabled MPs in the House who did it.
I regularly see disabled activists being told that if they can send a tweet, they can hold down a job (people saying this include at least one Tory MP) and any attempt to educate is usually met with abuse.
It's undoubtedly a long struggle ahead of us just to stop the slide, never mind get us back to where we were in 2005 or so.
* Even fewer since the election, we're down to him and another Tory.
