520 _a"In austerity Britain, disabled people have been recast as worthless scroungers. From social care to the benefits system, politicians and media alike have made the case Britain's 12 million disabled people are nothing but a drain on the public purse. In Crippled, journalist and campaigner Frances Ryan exposes the disturbing reality, telling the story of those most affected by this devastating regime. It is at once both a damning incdictment of a safety net so compromised it strangels many of those it catches and a passionate demand for an end to austerity, which hits hardset those most in need."--
