Disabled Against Disabled

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Hi guys, welcome to the channel. Thank you for joining me and thank you for your continued support.

[00:00:04]So, today um I just wanted to talk about about how some disabled people see other disabled people. Now, I'm not talking about people on here or anything like that.

[00:00:18]But, on Jeremy Vine and I realized that the Jeremy Vine show is incredibly um against disabled people. It seems that they're very against disabled people because that's all they bang on about.

[00:00:28]And I know that that's what gets the clicks. That's what gets the views.

[00:00:31]But, they just continue banging on about the welfare system and about disabled people.

[00:00:37]And there was a caller on there.

[00:00:40]Uh she herself is having palliative care. Her husband is a carer.

[00:00:44]She says that she is struggling. She says that she thinks a lots of people are gaming the system.

[00:00:50]And she thinks that they're you know she know she knows someone who is nearby who gets more money than she does and has nothing wrong with them.

[00:00:59]Now, to me this is one of the worst things that you that can happen to to some to to this particular group of people who are disabled.

[00:01:08]Because, you know, it's bad enough having people who are able-bodied having a go at disabled people saying that they're work-shy or that they're just, you know, faking it or whatever it might be.

[00:01:19]But, when you have someone who's been through this process and I imagine she has, um and then still saying that some people don't deserve to have benefits.

[00:01:29]That in some ways makes it even worse because you've got someone who's been through the system, understands how hard it is, and yet still thinks there's lots of people out there who are gaming the system when the figures the official figures would prove that that is not the case.

[00:01:44]Now, it's it's not nice really to have to um to say this about other disabled people, but it is unfortunately one of those things that happen. And I think this can actually have more of a profound impact on other people's perception of disabled people on benefits than anything else because if you've got able-bodied people saying that they're work-shy or that they're faking it, uh you know, you could say, "Well, you've never been through the system. How do you know what it's like to have been to have disabilities and be on benefits?" But when you have someone who's been through that process and still says that they believe a lot of people are faking it, that in some ways makes it harder for people to defend and it makes it hard makes it easier for able-bodied people to say, "Well, this person's been through the system. She says that a lot of people are faking it, so it must be true."

[00:02:32]And that is to me is very sad and very disappointing in many cases because, you know, disabled people, whether they're on benefits or not, I think need to have a solidarity because anyone who is disabled, whether you're on benefits or not, can be the uh you know, the butt of jokes, can be on the receiving end of abuse. Uh you know, many people who have blue badges get picked on and get attacked and they're not even on Many of them aren't even on benefits. They've just got a blue badge and they get attacked uh verbally usually, obviously, um by by people who don't understand the system. So, it's a shame and I hope that this this is a small minority of people because it just doesn't make things easier for anybody if that is the case. Let me know what you think down in the comment section. Have you um come across people who have been through the system and still say there are lots of people gaming it? Have you been on the receiving end of anything like that yourself? Let me know what you think down in the comment section.
