    Did you miss the second paragraph?

    It’s not actually ableism to experience joy at the thought of able bodied NT 30 year old British people suffering from 26 degree weather

    I imagine there’s heaps of Brits with post-covid POTS and you don’t see a single article on them struggling not to pass out when the temperature is 20 or above

      What news outlets publish any kind of article about the suffering of disables people due to the environment?

      Genuinely I would like to know if you hear about how post covid disabled people suffer in any kind of mainstream media?

      Just because you construct an ideal justified victim of the UK heat doesn’t actually excuse you from the reality of who will be victimised.

        It’s been hotter than this “heatwave” in my home country (with no AC) every day for the last 20 years

        I am not going to cry for Angloids because you have put a progressive spin on your whinging and self-victimization at lukewarm temperatures

        This is pure first-world-problems and chauvinism, the article is centering the conversation on Britain as a whole being under duress, it doesn’t say anything about disabled people. It’s another in a long line of white people being the center of the world and any minor inconvenience to them being a huge deal everyone else has to consider and worry about. I don’t give a fuck if Britain is 80 F. Literal non-story that has wasted my time, yet another anglo imposition of specialness

          Disabled people exist wether or not a shitass news org covers them, dipshit.

          It’s progressive to be concerned over disabled people in the imperial core, you are literally just being ableist.

            Yeah we are dunking on the article. You decided to change the topic and then get all offended in a way that just so coincidentally vindicates the British persecution complex that you have.

            British aren’t persecuted. Getting all hot and bothered over a cool day is funny. You are pale and weak of constitution. Having a whole nation of fish people who can’t take the heat is your problem, not mine.

            Third world countries have disabled people too and much worse temperatures even during non heatwaves. You don’t see articles about that. Stop trying to use ableism as a bludgeon when it was you that entered that topic into the conversation and not the article we are dunking on.

        Yes, this is my point - we can enjoy articles about the “average” Brit suffering because there aren’t usually articles posted about actual suffering that can be easily addressed.

        doesn’t actually excuse you from the reality of who will be victimised

        All of them, all of the Brits will be victimised.
