Dear Friends,
Election Day has arrived. If you have not applied for a postal vote, or a vote by proxy, do not miss your chance to vote for this important General Election.
Transport for All have joined up with Uber to get disabled people to the polling stations, if required.
You can contact Transport for All by phone 020 7737 2339 (press option 1), on Election day only, Thu 12 Dec 10-1pm and 2-5pm.
Uber rides for Thursday's trips to and from polling stations, between 07:00 and 22:00, will be free for disabled and older passengers (up to £10/trip) according to this www.mirror.co.uk/tech/uber-offering-free-rides-polls-21062978
Messages from the USA are flooding in, alerting Britain of what it means having to pay for your healthcare.
Privatising the NHS is pretty much the aim of the Tory, after the last ten years of austerity misery.
"In 2016 the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities came to the conclusion that the austerity policies of the Conservative government had resulted in grave and systematic violations of disables people's human rights". Use your vote wisely!

Our last gathering for FEEL meetings - for this year and decade - will be next Monday 16th December, as usual at LARC, 6:30-8:30pm.
We take the chance to thank those of you that supported us over this past year, and those that came along to our intimate 12th birthday bash last month. We had members from several groups and organisations; "intros" went on for hours, while reinforcing the importance of our collective campaigns, activism and presence is, even only to support each other. We must not forget to take care of our health and wellbeing too, first and foremost. It's not easy to be an outsider, an outcast, innit? For those that missed the late cake and performances, some of these were filmed and are available now to be viewed: enjoy! www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvaV6s4HCUmbAq6oBn5HjF9vtYIQqFO40
If you do enjoy the festive season, have a great one!
If you are more of the hibernating type, please take care and stay safe. Seek for help if required.
Countdown to 2020 has started and all these fake sparkles will be over soon; persevere ;)
Sending the warmest wishes to all with a message from one of our fav weirdos
