Lol, I love this vid. I just tweeted it.

[cranyonrye]

Support the rights of the disabled - make your support known to your Government and remind them you vote.

[manco82]

What a fucking bullshit!

[Foolishheart12123]

This is awesome

RALLY AGAINST CUTS IN BIRMINGHAM ON NOVEMBER 13TH. DISABILITY FOCUSED.

RALLY AGAINST CUTS Nov 13 Birmingham

2 pm, NOVEMBER 13th

CARRS LANE CHURCH, BIRMINGHAM B4 7SX

Join Disabled People Against Cuts ( DPAC) at an anti-cuts rally.

The cuts put forward by the coalition government in the budget and Comprehensive Spending Review will hit disabled people disproportionately hard. A recent DEMOS report says that by 2015 disabled people will lose £9bn.

Add your voices to ours.

[lobdet]

Challenging projections!

Great work and yes, I too am disabled.

[TheGirlWhoGames]

That guy on the elevator outside the building is cute!

[jebeja]

PosterBrat, This is brilliant thanks for posting, it needs to be shown "worldwide".

[Basenji10100]

Great idea for educational purposes.

[HerrSpieldose]

he's a strapping young lad!

[telemetry9]

Don't pretend they are actually interested in finding "fraudsters" If they were genuine in doing that they would be after the trillions lost to tax evasion. This is about using the vulnerable as a reason and diversion from the real problems in society. IT is about singling out those who they believe can't fight back. You don't pick on the strong.

I have been fighting this growing fascism - but it is frustrating when so many people believe the daily mail lies about benefits.

[telemetry9]

Fascism creeps up slowly and insidiously into any society. Germany was not unique. A growing fascism is increasing in Britain. It is fueled by the media and their attacks and misrepresentations of people who are sick and disabled. The popular belief is growing that something needs to be "done" about people on benefits. It is simply another form of blaming those who are vulnerable for the ills of society.  It is fascism. Benefit claimant = criminal?

[MuuzikFan]

@telemetry9 Absolutely. It started with Blair & Brown, slowly but surely. For now, its the sick, the disabled, the unemployed. It will not stop there. Wake up, before its too late. Reminiscent of Nazi Germany. It took about twenty years of more of social engineering to culminate in Nazism. Why are the Brits comatosed? There is much more to loose by apathy. The mob will first attack the sick, disabled, elderly, then turn on each other, and perhaps, when too late, the elite.

[Nikkisneeds]

Freebritain1 are you suggesting they just lock us awaw for our own "safety"?

[HerrSpieldose]

@Nikkisneeds I have manic depression, just ignore people that pull that stunt on people... they usually do it because they had an alcoholic parent and have a hair across their ass... and to make them feel superior to you... sad pathetic losers really.

[Nikkisneeds]

Thank you for trying to help people understand let me know if I can be of service, I am an experienced disabled rights advocate and avid public speaker, keep me posted.

[FreeBritain1]

And I'll just reconfirm after that, that this is a brilliant video, which highlights that there is more than one world created by almighty God, for His purpose. May they 'all' be respected. Amen

[FreeBritain1]

I would just like to point out that no-one featured in this video is in serious pain and none of the individuals has a serious, long term illness to manage such as a neurological illness, heart condition and the like which may affect several (or even all) body systems. Some illnesses are far from simple to manage and it is vital for the individual concerned to be allowed to manage their own health in safety.

[mamahenrobin]

Wonderful!!

My daughter was in a chair for a year. Even as a child, developed a keen awareness of how the world doesn't 'fit' those with physical challenges..a personal pet peeve,,handi cap toilets,,, for wheelchairs only,, not for mom's with children,, =) I love the training here for nurse's that requires a few days in a chair, without ability to verbally communicate, giving a sense of what their patients are experiencing!

Well done PosterBrat and Thank You!

[JonahTorn]

Happy Tourettes Awareness Month! (May 15 - June 15.)

[Verbalbangz]

disabled faggots shouldnt have rights, they are scum

[meatballs0]

Hi absolutely love this. But I was so dissapointed with the fact that there were no subtitles so that my friend who is deaf could also enoy it ! Does anyone nknow if there is a subtitled version please. Thanks

[multiracialbella]

@meatballs0 yeah on the original video by DisabilityRightsComm the whole video is in two parts and has subtitles and sign language

[Mremma14567]

WERE ARE THE JOBS?

Interview - ha! The employers (INCLUDING the government) through my application in the trash.

We don't need more "funny" advertisements or more "awareness" - we need solutions.

[MYPOWERTUTOR]

@Mremma14567 truth I am agree

[wheelieblind]

WHEELCHAIRS ONLY :) lol

[dave2806]

its a constent up hill battle just to have the same chances that everyone else takes for granted. i would love to think that things will improve but im beginning to think not in my life time.

[TheDevilsCurse666]

I watched this in my health and social care class and i thought it was briliant!.

Im not disabled but i now have completly different view, i never really thought about how patronising some people can be.

[willow138]

friggin fantastic. im disabled and was tryin for a job over summer went to loads of interviews n got this exact reaction every time

[bigrider2806]

well done should be more widely shown !

[inyunaruto365]

Nice one! I'm loving this clip.

[suotamosa]

Yeah, i think this vid did a good job at portraying how people are treated- not just the obvious physical aspects of things, but the social ones.

[tonightwefly]

this is great!!!

[miagolosa]

well to be honest I wouldn't be that enthusiastic about it as I am physically disable too and was refused disability status in the Uk but not in Italy as I have dual nationality. Bullies do exist among disable people too!

[badbobswife]

Very, Very enlightening!!!  Excellent job!

[crushonzac]

I dont undeRstannnD the viiiDeO!!!

[pipsmokingman]

brilliant video - pity its not shown on prime time TV - might make a few stop and think - thumbs up !!

[JonahTorn]

Clever.

[telemetry9]

Programs like Little Britain portray the sick and disabled as cheaters and fraudsters but no one bats an eye lid.

In its third series the first program of little britain received 9 million viewers.

Why do so few people speak out against such negative portrayals? Why has it become ok for the government to attack the disabled by dishonestly changing benefit regulations to the advantage of private companies like: Unum provident while pretending to "transform lives". Who is listening? wake up uk

[CHODESPAZ]

eeerhg nmmg duuurrr blarrrrhg nguuuum num urrrrhg!

[TheDarDar1]

One of my favorite videos on YouTube! 2 thumbs up - way up!

[fiver316]

I know exactly how it feels, I have Asperger Syndrome, and people treat me different sometimes, they hardly talk to me unless I talk to them, but some treat me like an equal witch is great. like what this vid is saying, if it was the other way around, they people without dissabilitys would know how it feels.

[wingsmanh1]

Hello all,

This video is wonderful. I really hope that in time the US will do something of this sort. Right now that is what I am working on. Check out my video called "what its like to be me" it will explain living life with arthrogryposis.

[ROSELEEPRO]

Absolutely amazing!! Incredibly Creative!!

[dawgstar84]

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! This shows exactly how it feels to have a disability.

[frustrated2222]

GREAT CLIP!!!! Two thumbs up!

[jbgmha]

Awesome, used in New Zealand by Diversity Works as Philip educates society about social responsibility. Rock on

[rkzenrage]

This was creepy... daily life.

[truerose42]

awesome!!!

[nzcolutd]

Definatly watch the two full parts from DisabilityRightsComm

[happybollocks]

very good it's time people woke up 2 the fact that disabled people do excist and our disabilties are NOT a desease but are a condition we are born with

[DisabilityRightsComm]

The full length Talk video can be found at You Tube /DisabilityRightsComm

[johnnycr57]

GREAT VIDEO !!! Too bad the American Disability Rights people aren't that concerned.  The state of Kansas has more concern for illegal aliens than for persons with disabilities.

[Idscu]

This is such a good video. Reminded me of spring, when I was at Helsinki, and waited a railwaywagon which you can use in a wheelchair too, for an HOUR... All there would come were the "nostalgic" old ones that have 4 stairs...

[jgweems]

Wow...That was very interesting. I have a spinal cord injury yet this little short even opened my eyes a little. Thanks.

[denstone111]

Excellent.

[chrispypie]

This was great and gets the message across really clearly. Thanks!

[jaznipanema]

Thanks for this video...good film on disability awareness!

[speechaphasias]

great film

[fraserkatie]

This is a great film by the Disability Rights Commission, and gives a clear message to others that to accept disability and to include disabled people in our society. Lots of disabled stars appear in this film too, which is good, like Mat Fraser the lift operator, Mik Scarlet (my hero) , and Lara Masters, the Thats Esther presenter.
