    Problem being that they do not listen and sitting on their damn panel only gives them the right to say their actions are supported by the disabled community when they are NOT !

    Its that bloody prestige and promises and position. sodding personal ego and greed again. Like some Jews were still advisers to the Nazi govt throughout and quite high officials.

    Its an attention seeking deficient disorder problem of most people who get the limelight then don’t want to let go.
