Description

Sky News host James Macpherson mocks how Britain's disability diagnosis epidemic reached Disneyland and clogged up the disability line. “That doesn’t make any sense at all,” Mr Macpherson said. “Clearly, overdiagnosis is overloading the system. “It was funny to read this article where disabled people were complaining that the line for disabled people to get on the ride was actually longer than for able-bodied people.”

This has been a scam for decades. I remember waiting in lines with my kids at Disney World and watching sizable extended families roll through the accessibility lane with no wait at all. One kid in a wheelchair. That's not the scam. The scam is when you see that kid pop right out of the chair and jump onto the ride.

Notice the date of the article : 32 May, 2026. There is no such date as May 32, 2026. If the person or newspaper responsible for publishing the article does not even know the date, perhaps one should not put much trust in the content of the article.

American here, I was at .the docs the other day and she told me that everyone wants disabitlity paperwork for nothing. She said shes never experienced so much in her entire career. People with true disabilities are getting lost in all of this.
