We fought so hard for and eventually achieved civil rights and a Disability Rights Commission DRC under the last Labour government in the late 1990s.

She said the lump was the size of the top of her index finger and she would rush me through for an urgent screening that would take no longer than two weeks. Two weeks later, Id heard nothing so I gave them a call. They said that because of Covid, things had slowed down and it might take four weeks. They also said that if I got any new symptoms to call them back. A week later, one of my breasts had swelled up. It was itching and hot and it felt like it was infected. I felt unwell, too. But I was stressed to the gills. Every day, I was worried I was going to die. We know that were against the clock when its cancer. I went straight back to the doctor and she rang the hospital.

He gained fame as a singer, performing for Pope Benedict XVI in 2006 and singing Canadas national anthem at a hockey game five years later.Beginning in 2010, comedian Mike Ward mocked Gabriels physical appearance and his singing. Ward said people were only nice to the singer because they believed he might die. He also joked to audiences about trying to kill Gabriel by drowning him. Gabriel, at the time a teenager, was bullied at school and became suicidal.In 2016, Ward was ordered by Quebecs human rights tribunal to pay C$35,000 US$28,000 to Gabriel, as well as C$7,000 to his mother, Sylvie Gabriel. The tribunal concluded that Ward had damaged their dignity and honour and engaged in discriminat

As things stand it does not include being eligible for a Covid-19 test.According to the Department of Health and Social Cares eligibility criteria, anyone over the age of 65 can request a test. However, if you are under 65 and at extreme risk from the virus you cannot. This glaring oversight means that many of the most vulnerable are left without access to a test.At the start of the crisis, the only advice to those at greatest risk was do not go on a cruise . The absurdity of this has been thrown into stark relief by the subsequent escalation of the crisis. Weeks later it seems we remain an almost forgotten group, shut away behind closed doors without even access to testing.Catherine WreyfordLondonExplore more on
