You were. You didn't comment on his politics but on his disability, when his disabilty shouldn't have anything to do with this election.
But i can't be asked tbh, so crack on being funny.

And the sort of person who would make such a "joke" and seek to defend it when pulled up on it is called a cunt

The joke was 100% dependent on his disability, on the fact that he's in a wheelchair.
That's why making it and continuing to defend it is discriminatory, whether you meant it to be or whether you even realise it now.
I can say from experience that sometimes when you're challenged over something like this, it's better not to jump in immediately and seek to defend yourself, but rather to think about why you've been challenged and ask yourself, on the basis of other people's response, if it was really such a great idea to make such a joke after all.
I completely disagree but unlike you I'm happy to let you have an opinion that is different to mine.

‘It was a case study for what not to do’: the regeneration project that became a £100m luxury ghost town
The plan was to take old railway arches in a run-down area of east London and turn them into a high-end fashion hub. Instead, Hackney Walk ended up deserted. What went so disastrously wrong?

Weight is meaningless
Everyone except the council knew that was a stinker of an idea. I will say the characterisation of the estate round the Urswick School is a bit off though, they make the place sound like a simmering drug gang war zone whereas in reality it's perfectly normal and entirely safe to walk around.Yeah, not cool pbsmooth.

One on one? You're crazy.
Yep , I walk around the area a lot , but that bit isn't a natural walk , I can cut through the church yard but most people who cut through from the Lower Clapton Rd are heading for the Narrow Way . It was never going to be a destination for fashion shopping , very little footfall.Yeah, not cool pbsmooth.

It could be revived (they might as well use the space) but the owners need to cut the rents to get the business in , and keep rents reasonable once they are in there.

Archco are rapacious even by landlord standards. I had a kitchen in Bethnal Green arches and the guys who ran the Old St Brewery a few doors down moved out rather than give the bastards any more money.
Archco would rather have empty units than allow overall rents to go down.

Yes, the building is actually just a facade now, it was originally a Quaker Meeting House..
187 Stoke Newington High Street
Taken from ‘Quakers in Stoke Newington: the 19th and 20th Centuries’, Peter Daniels, Hackney History, 14, pp. 24-37
The Stoke Newington Quaker meeting house attracted many prominent followers especially from around Church Street but also from Clapton, Stamford Hill and Highbury. Many were wealthy. Silk merchant John Wilmer (1696-1773) built his house on the High Street – now the Yum Yum restaurant.

Interesting story from 1962 about John Wilmer...
Grave alarm ONE house that the L.C.C has managed to save this year is an eighteenth-century town house in Stoke Newington High Street A quaker called John Wilmer, who lived there in the eighteenth century, left instructions that when he died he should be buried in the garden in a four-poster bed. This was done, and in case by any chance he proved to have been buried alive, he had arranged for a wire to be tied to bis finger, which ran up through the grave, across the garden, and was attached to a bell on the wall of the house. Wilmer is apparently still down there in his four-poster, and the bell was still on the wall till recently..

Part of me thinks this is all part of his social media strategy - to become even more notorious. Seems a bit cut off your nose to spite your face-y , but then again, I'm not a social influencer.Mizzy update… 18 weeks sentence.

Surely less for a toddler arm..?
FWIW, I'm already pretty good at the eating bits of bread thing. Admittedly my gliding serenely could use some work.

He definitely seems to have made a decision to push things as far as he can. And the comments under twitter posts about that news item do show he's achieved quite a high level of notoreity already.
Not sure if the actual reality of a youth offenders institution will make it all worth it though. Lots of people on twitter wishing him harm...

Maybe you'll get credit for some of the modules on the course? You could get it sorted in a day and be a swan by Xmas, Sue!
