Diabled children and prime ministers

I try and avoid the blatantly political on here though i dare say a few of you might suspect I am not a tory...



Yesterdays performance was dreadful disingenius and downright deceitful.







Cameron knows what it's like to parent a disabled child, does he know? Who told him? The nanny?

It's not his fault Bristol Council won't provide that poor lady with extra respite forcing her to make the heart rending decision, that  for her sanity, she has to give up her child.

Not his fault, maybe. But who deicided to gut the guts out of funding for services?

He has to own to that one, and you see this is where the big society fits in.

What Cameron thinks should happen is a volunteer should come and help for no money.

What he  paid a nanny to do.

He may well have had a disabled child but he has not the vaguest notion of what it is to bring up a disabled child on your own in grinding poverty.

But I'm sure he will make sure lots of others get to share this ladies experience.

DC has no idea what it's like to parent a disabled child without a rather large financial cushion, you're right. But I wouldn't say he has no idea what it's like to parent - and lose - a disabled child.

I did hope that his experience might actually cause him to oh, I don't know, protect children's services and promote the welfare of children and adults with disabilities. Seems not though.
