Nadine Dorries made further ridiculous comments, this time suggesting that being disabled is the same as being retired and also that disabled people shouldn't go down the pub.
I wrote another rebuttal over on Disability Voices. Twitter, Disabled People, Benefit Fraud... and Pubs
And DV team member, Sarah Ismail, has set up a facebook group calling for Nadine Dorries' removal as an MP due to her disablist attitude.
Finally I must add that I personally am absolutely astounded and very touched to see the response my original piece on DV got, both on DV and also on Twitter.
