There was a ridiculour statistic bandied about a couple of weeks ago - saying there were 13 million "disabled" in Britain.
13 million?
A quarter of the population?
What they mean is that there are a few genuinely disabled and many millions walking about with sticks (or riding about in mongility scooters) pretending to be disabled !
Ah, but he would have to walk to work every day, wouldn't he? Which might not be possible.
With some injuries, the spinal fluid slowly bulges out and presses on a nerve, making walking impossible, but you do get a days notice. (to climb mountains?)
So people arrange their activities around overdoing it and being flat out after it.
I think the disability figures must include things like dyslexia and mild asthma.

Oh, but he's so brave!
One of the former approved school pupils who appeared in ITV's/MWT's bombshell 2012 programme about Jimmy Savile and who provided the BBC with a forged police letter won a bravery award from a women's magazine in 2014 for her Savile allegations and appeared in a photo on the magazine's website front and centre of a group of its bravery award winners sitting in a wheelchair. Apart from the wheelchair she looked perfectly normal and there was no sign of a wheelchair in the TV programme.
