Occasionally Snarky and Meta

I think the controversy can be viewed positively - the outraged reaction that most people have had to these few complaints, and the way this has been covered in the news shows that the discourse about disabled people has shifted (however slightly) towards greater recognition that they are routinely discriminated against and subjected to intolerance. At least the people who ridiculously objected to Burnell's appointment aren't getting to set the agenda here but having their views challenged.
