BBC Man Refused Entry To Tesco

Post by Friend or faux »

Twice in one week. This was because he had a guide dog. This is against the law. Seems it wasn't Tesco staff per se, but their security people. What makes it even worse was when they guy broke the story on Twitter, he accumulated a huge amount of personal abuse. What is about people who use social networking? ( I suppose it is this anonymity Malarkey ).

Nothing to do with social media. There are a lot of khunts in the world and cut adrift and alienated in a capitalist jungle where they believe its dog eat dog it would be silly to think otherwise.

If that is a video, then it explains why I can't see it.

With people that are impaired in some way they have one of two options in these situations. They either get off first or last. I'm sure there are plenty of situations where priority is given in such situations (I sat on a plane for 15 minutes whilst they got a lady with a broken leg off last year). Equally there will be times when they are last off, but social media is a good medium for highlighting issues.

You reckon the disabled are going to get off first, when people are out their seats scrambling at the overhead lockers the second wheels touch tarmac?

They are allowed to Board first, I believe.

I would expect nothing less from Caca. But what about getting on planes?
