    One interesting note: sometimes disabled people are kept in housing that is not accessible for years, requiring social care that they would not otherwise need.

    You could reduce the amount of spend on social care by building accessible social housing and offering it to disabled people.

      What the fuck? We can’t be actually helping these disabled, benefit scrounging, lazy scumbags FFS. If we do that, everyone with a disability will expect similar humane treatment, and frankly, that’s just not what Britain is about.

      (Huge /s, for those that probably should be registered with a learning disability.)
