Cost is an issue for disabled

Oct 3 2008

RE the disabled badge. Helen Phillips is not disgruntled but, like myself, believes this should be a free country. (Big mistake).

Not the way the prime minister and the council seem to think, unless it is for their party’s, trips, houses, TV licenses etc, for them and the prisoners, everyone else, taken to the cleaners.

I’m blind, disabled, with MS, and a single mother, and I am on benefits.

I don’t have £25 every couple of years, plus photograph costs for the badge. So the person thinking we can afford to do so must have plenty of money in his pocket and had the misguided idea that everyone else has. Think again.
