These aren't my propositions, they are proposals to be put before Parliament, I merely provided input.
As previously explained, I have no problem whatsoever with those who have differing views. It's when it is done through the use of tactics like mocking, insulting, laughing at a disabled person and the inevitable affects of their various disabilities that it becomes a problem.
It's akin to mocking someone interacting verbally because they have a stutter or because they have a brain issue like dementia that affects how they process information and express themselves.
Being Scottish doesn't affect you in the same way that a disability would, though of course you could still be unlawfully discriminated against because of it.

This thread in particular has provided some excellent examples of how people feel it appropriate to treat disabled people.
