Mobility cars over £2000, get them while you can.

In recent days we have seen more than one newspaper article deriding the mobility car scheme, the peice that has everyone’s back up was penned by Richard Littlejohn in the Daily Mail, the long time supporter of disabled people. (Littlejohn compared Jody McIntyre – who has cerebral palsy – to the comic disabled character Andy Pipkin, played by Matt Lucas, in Little Britain when he was caught on video being dragged across the street by police after being tipped out of his wheelchair during protests in London over rises in student tuition fees. A published apology followed)
