Is the UK scary if you're disabled?
Nicky Campbells hears from 5 Live listeners.
Seven-time Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft says βBritain is a really scary place to be as a disabled person right nowβ. She says the government is βfailing to listenβ to the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in society, and that disabled people are being βalmost criminalisedβ in the way theyβre treated. The government says the role of minister of state for disabled people" will help ensure there is always a strong safety net for the most vulnerable in our society, while tearing down barriers so that every disabled person can realise their potential and thrive." Nicky Campbell asked 5 Live listeners if the UK is scary if youβre disabled.
