I have a bugbear about accessibility, so I really liked this article. Although my problems with it are entirely down to my computer settings.

However, I also have a bugbear about the number of disabled people. This was on the More or Less podcast back in February (bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p096htls) where they found that the government's definition included people who had a long-term condition that affect their day-to-day life a little. Which includes things like asthma.

If you only include people who say that their condition affects their life a lot, then it's more like 10%. Which is still a lot of people and doesn't invalidate this article.
