Aditya Chakrabortty The Guardian, Monday 20 October 2014 21.40 BST "The coalition has so thoroughly vilified “scroungers” that hate crimes against people with disabilities are rising year on year: up 13% since 2011. Forty per cent of incidents are violent. Take the visually impaired man walking in Brighton last year, who was asked by a stranger what it was like to be blind – before being set on fire. Campaigner Paula Peters tells me she’s been spat at in the street, while friends in wheelchairs have been shoved into oncoming traffic." http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/20/disabled-lord-freud-austerity
