Hi @askryanair, After missing my fathers funeral because you cancelled a flight and waiting more than 6 months, when might I expect you to bother compensating me with what you are legally required to? Would love to know.

Sure, another 5 hours waiting for a DM response won't add much to the 6 months.
Eek!

Replace “academia” with your work domain of choice. And ensure that when we come out to a new normal, it is normal to be inclusive

This week, the Premier of Ontario, Canada's largest province, abruptly stopped one of his daily coronavirus press conferences. Why? To thank Christopher, his sign language interpreter, who'd been by his side translating for weeks. 🇨🇦
For people in #Edinburgh see if there are some local businesses you can support in these strange days: edinburghlockdowneconomy.com…

Disabled people tell us they’re desperately worried about their Personal Assistants/carers not having Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) they need to keep safe. @JeaneF1MSP has urged anyone needing PPE to email the helpline covid-19-health-PPE@gov.scot.

Very welcome announcement this afternoon from @JeaneF1MSP on getting Personal Protective Equipment to unpaid carers. Once the system is in place, it'll be important to make sure unpaid carers on the ground know about it. @InclusionScot would be very happy to help spread the word
Screenshot of BBC website. Heading says "Work is underway to help unpaid carers access PPE". Underneath it says "Ms Freeman says work is underway to help unpaid carers access PPE and work is underway to address supply issues. This area is of utmost importance to the government as it intends to do everything it can to protect front-line staff, the health secretary says". Below is a photo of Ms Freeman and BSL signer

Sadly, things can’t only get better. And it is not like we were in that great a position anyway. #a11y

I want to tweet something about disabled people being made DNR if they get Covid19 but I'm so f**king angry I can't find the words. Today society can officially do one.
