Good Crip stuff but no nutters, the usual from the physically disabled. I know a man who spent 50 years in an asylum making Christmas crackers for no wage, he didn’t know why he was in there.

Survivors Speak Out.
The recent disability history on BBC radio 4 again didn’t have any Survivor history, shame on you Auntie.

Lovely great piece, thanks for that. I created the free Glastonbury festival in 1971 and like Wally Hope who made the free Stonehenge festival we both ended up getting caught by the madness industry, sadly he didn’t survive his treatment.
Great podcast <3 If anyone knows how i can watch Crip Tales I would really love to see it ( – I don't have a tv or license)
