Last night I watched Sophie Morgan's Fight t Fly on Channel Four about the rampant ableism that acts as a barrier for the disabled to fly easily.... its a catalogue of abuse, prejudice & inhumanity.
Her campaign to try & start to properly address these issues is getting traction, but looking at the series of cases featured, you know she & her supporters, allies, have a major job of work to do...
But, if anyone can Sophie can.

From the women manhandled out of their wheelchairs to the man forced to drag himself along a plane floor, this searing documentary is packed with horrors that will be painfully familiar to many people with disabilities
