None of my disabled friends are surprised at this.
These are the constant exhausting humiliating barriers we face every day.
And the Equality Act makes no difference. Don’t believe me? Why not check if your local pub or train station are accessible?

An Israeli minister has said she could not attend the COP26 summit on Monday because it was not wheelchair accessible.
Karine Elharrar tweeted that it was “sad” the UN “does not provide accessibility to its events”.
An official in Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s delegation said they had formally complained to organisers.
And Mr Bennett said he would not attend on Tuesday if Ms Elharrar could not access the summit, the official added.

In my personal view that this article like the above inform us of how backwords our current world is which I believe needs to be addressed. No person must face barriers of attending events, venues and important key moments in life because of short falls within accessibility in or out of a building including being discriminated from society.
