If you killed a man w/ health conditions, you still killed a man. George Floyd couldn’t breathe. 3 officers held him down, & one w/ a recorded, violent history kneed his neck as others helped. They waited 9 minutes for his last breath. This was not an accident. It was murder.

Really poor from Argos to make presumptions about what disabled people are and are not capable of. I do not agree with having my independence decided for me and I’m incredibly disappointed in their close minded view of disability.

😡 @wbpictures out of all ways to create fear & horror in the new The Witches Movie you chose to use limb difference. Which is NOT SCARY! This could seriously hurt and marginalise those with limb differences and create misinformed ideas on limb differences. NOT OK! #NotAWitch
