Yeah, has anyone else recognised the sheer front of @DavidCameron_PM if he supports this bollocks surrounding forcing people with a #Disability to work? Didn’t he have a severely disabled son who passed away? Honestly, what a short memory he must have.
#TuesdayMotivation Arrogance is a dangerous game. Humility is key. Never take for granted your talents & gifts, because you might be the safety-net to someone.
It's an incredible story here... @PaulHoldenMusic talks with @able2uk all about his disability Prepare to be encouraged, amazed, and inspired His new single "Back To The River" is out now too 🤗 able2uk.com/promotions/mus…
@able2uk I love that the community stepped up to help. Huge cheers to everyone involved. But I'm also sad that she didn't have a strong enough community around her to prevent it getting to that state in the first place. Community needs to be a continuous thing, not just for crises.
