The BBC Memories and Dementia season focuses on how the BBC’s rich archive can help people affected by dementia to stimulate memories, and how the BBC can support you and your loved ones by raising awareness of available services and resources.

Opinion:

Please bear with, this may get long. I tend to post then tidy when I have had a few option to reread. It's just how my mind works best. I am also visually impaired so miss errors. Please feel free to point any out.

The DWP currently estimates there are 16.1 million people in the UK considered disabled in some way. 24% of the population.

However accurate that number may be. When you add friends. family and supporters. It is more than enough people to be an electoral force.

So the big question I feel the need to ask. Why the hell do the 2 main parties suddenly feel so free to attack this community. Because to be clear here, the last 14 years have definitely been an attack on the disabled community. While despite a number of Labour MPs complaining. Labours leadership seems happy to blame all the economic woes of the UK on our community.

I am not going to get too politically biased here. But for info I am more left wing then current labour leadership, Like
