POLITICIAN FUCKS DOG!
A (until recently that is) local Labour councillor in Scotland's capital was known amongst his colleagues for frankly being a prat even without the falling over bit. He also carried wherever he went an overstuffed briefcase full of unnecessary papers.

One day on Edinburgh's Broughton Street he was approached by a blind man with a guide dog who asked him for directions. Astonishingly, immediately forgetting the man's disability, our hero span round to POINT up the street where the guy wanted to go and with one deft clumsy swing smashed his heavy bag into the dog's face. The dog keeled over.
The scene witnessed by a mutual friend ended with a quick retreat by the councillor from the scene; leaving a stunned seeing-eye dog lying on the road while his owner asked thin air: "What's happened to my dog? What's happened to my dog".

What an utter cunt. How do people like this gain positions of responsibility ?

I do wonder whether the general public as a whole realise that not everyone with a white stick or a guide dog is totally blind - or indeed actually stupid. These things do not mean a total lack of sight. Out of all the visually impaired people I know (and there are a lot), only two of them are totally blind. And neither of them are remotely stupid.

We also gather more than you think about obstructive and stupid people. Don't assume said idiots will go unrecognised. ;)

one of the most horribly guilty episodes of my life
when I was hurrying down King Street in Cambridge one day, there was a blind man standing outside a shop minding his own business.
I was stressed, late, and in a massive hurry to get to somewhere I'd never been before and wasn't quite sure of the location of.
Said chap was the only person about and so, in my dithering state, I rushed up to him and said 'Excuse me, have you seen...(question about whereabouts of pub trails off into horrified silence)'
He just shook his head - I muttered an apology and went on my way. I still feel mortified thinking about it. I just really hope he knew I wasn't taking the piss, and genuinely am that daft.
