Replying to @GaryLineker
@GaryLineker 🚨 🚨 🚨 Coming Soon 🔜 1st Oct 🚨 🚨 🚨 This will change everything. There is nothing like this on the market for the disabled community. Need a blue badge bay? - Then you need to watch this video. We’re adding over 8500 blue badge parking bays, over 28,000 accessable toilets and over 900 changing places (with more to be added). Not forgetting the thousands of review of pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions ect on the app. Massive update - Got a blue badge? Need an accessible toilet? The Snowball Community App (Snowball) is going to fundamentally change the way you access the world. Watch video and download it now.

“Disabled people [on] benefits aren’t your enemy. None of us would go through the exhausting and degrading assessment process if we had any other choice.” Great article quashing the (utterly laughable) myth that disability benefits fund lavish lifestyles: metro.co.uk/2023/08/16/disab…

Disabled people on benefits aren’t your enemy

You’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re all living in the lap of luxury.
