Few printable words can be given to my feelings on last nights events – those other events. Captains of industry given an opportunity to patronise people with disabilities and receive awards for not breaking the law and giving people their human rights? I’m going to the Circus tonight so I won’t have to watch it or avoid watching it on television.
O2 Ability Awards – Too Angry to be sad

Circus is one way to describe the awards! How can anyone take it seriously – should there be awards for builders who don’t kill their workers or restaurants that don’t poison their customers?
The new coverage on this last night had the feel of the “captains” of industry speaking for the disabled… while I wasn’t fully paying attention, I didn’t recall someone with a disability actually being featured – that might be too risky, eh?
When you say circus, you really mean the 30th Dail.
By the way, has the secret programme for FF/Green govt actually been published or is it wasting paper to do this? Going to spend the day spraying aerosols, just for giggles while I can! [Can't take the Greens seriously anymore honey]
The Circus I went to was No Fit State currently playing in the Docklands – extremely queer/genderfuck stuff – and absoultely brilliant! Twitter went down so I did not get the horrific news of Martin Cullen in Social Welfare until later in the night…
As for someone with a disability being featured in that piece on the news – well how can one forget Caroline?
