Default Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'

only thoes users who are truly wheelchair-bound who need special
provision.
Clive's phrase is the more accurate one in this context.

IMO, the intention's the main thing.


Attitude is the issue and I agree that the intention is the most important
thing. However, 'wheelchair-bound' makes me wince (as it does most
wheelchair users) because people are not bound to their chairs - we sleep in
a bed, shower in a shower/bath and so on. Take your cue from the disabled
person - use the language they do! Political correctness is a nightmare!
