Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

There's currently a PIP consultation going on, as the outgoing government seek to impose ever-more-brutal restrictions on the ever-growing number of disabled people (whose numbers this very government substantially contributed to and now blames on a "sick note culture"), in the vain pursuit of votes from ableist bigots who aren't interested in the details of either the proposed or current systems.

Today at lunchtime I attended a (virtual) focus group to inform RNIB's response to the consultation.

Taking part was, as I expected, affirming and vaguely therapeutic, but it was even more exhausting than I had expected.

Afterwards, when the dog very politely and happily asked me to take him for a walk, I saw the mail has arrived, including the forms I have to fill out for my own PIP review.

Which, despite this claim having been made online, were sent to me on paper. And despite getting my PIP letters in large print, this is only in standard print.
