Disability charity takes 'murderous' swipe at government
This week the government launched Ask, Don’t Assume, a campaign to encourage the public to ask before trying to assist disabled people. However, Disability Rights UK accused them of “purple washing” and called the government “murderous” in a post on X. We also speak to disability rights campaigner Dr Amy Kavanagh, who fears it will encourage invasive questions.
Mik Scarlett joins Nikki Fox to talk through your feedback about last week’s episode and our very own Emma Tracey’s new upcoming episode of The Climate Question all about disabled people's safety.
And do you know how to be more penguin? If not, find out from Hamzeh who talks about his new play, Penguin. It follows his life from a village in Syria,
to a Jordanian refugee camp, and his current home in Gateshead in the North-East of England.
Sound recording and mixing by Mike Regaard and Dave O’Neill. Produced by Beth Rose, Alix Pickles and Drew Hyndman. The editor was Damon Rose and the exec editor was Jonathan Aspinwall.
