Rage Against the Wheelchair

Charities and disability groups have expressed outrage, blaming the government for a series of attacks on disabled people by able bodied assailants. “Up and down Britain disabled people are afraid to leave their houses thanks to this government’s implication that they are benefit scroungers,” says Sid Wattocks of the charity Disability Action. “Indeed, they are allowing people to think that the cost of providing special provision for disabled people to access buildings and the like is the underlying cause of the recession!” A recent assault in Luton saw a paraplegic left at the mercy of a hostile mob. “This bastard just came over...

An English Country Crime Wave

“Look out mate – they’re going in guns blazing today!” With that warning I found myself roughly shoved out of the way as a Honda Accord screamed across the village green and crashed through the already boarded up window of the local shop. As I watched in incredulity from behind the cover of the war memorial, two figures wearing balaclavas and holding shotguns, eased themselves from the front seats of the vehicle and ambled into the shop, one of them pulling a shopping bag on wheels. Through the smashed window I saw them fire their guns into the ceiling, before filling the shopping trolley with tinned goods and money from the till....
