WTF? I would have thought someone disabled would have more sense.

You would think so but in Wales for example it seems 90% of football refs where on higher rate mobility many where filmed running up and down the pitch here is one from Wigan http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...-around-433955

my fav of the cheaters caught is the one man riot in the film here, its not a daily mail hatchet job but a serious look at the people who get the real disabled a bad name

Yes, but you are talking about two different things & making out they are the same. Are you Cammy's SPAD?

You are implying that any disabled person who has carried the torch is a cheater. I have not seen all the disabled people who have done it, but those I have often have some sort of help to do it, or show signs of disabilities. I also do not know if any of them get DLA. Yesterday a former soldier who had two artificial legs was carrying it. He has other disabilities. He was not running, but what i would call waddling, similar to what I do. He had two people giving him physical help to walk & hold the torch. Then you post talking about cheaters. I think a lot of disabled people would find the comparison insulting & wrong. You cannot say because someone can walk, or hold something, or are not in a wheelchair, or can stand, or whatever, that they are not disabled. This is the same bigotry that we have to put up with from many in society.
