While the Tories are whisking away all support for disabled people, and labelling us all scroungers, its heartening to see the BBC’s incisive reporting at work. Their most popular disability-related post?
“Stuntman Eddie Kidd finishes London Marathon”

Hold on! I'm coming!
Yeah, great. It took him two months. His wife’s comment? “”If there’s anyone out there that is disabled, or injured or sick, get some inspiration from this and don’t give up.” Er, its not inspiration we need, chuck, its the welfare state putting back.
The London Evening Standard’s title was even worse:
“The courage of Kidd: Eddie is still running the Marathon”
At no point did Eddie actually break into a run. It’d take someone in an electric wheelchair less than a day. His wife described it apparently as ‘his greatest feat yet’.
Lets hope he doesn’t try to get to work this way, once his ATOS assessment forces him back into work. To be fair, I could have lived with the reporting until I saw the quote from his wife.
