The American accent moved around a lot? Moved around Amsterdam and Eindhoven? /j

Love the show. This disability thing has my heart in my throat. Thanks for the compassion

[Naptime]

whish there was a time machine so I could call in, in the convo aboot benifits and working. Whats the solution when the working world is what's causing the physical AND mental

[gregchew]

32:29 The lady should run a podcast educating others on "the system."

[poox]

Listened on catch up. Would have loved to tell him about being attacked by a 2 toed sloth. Trauma? No. Scars? Yes.

[geraldstiling]

The government don't throw them off cliffs ...They starve them❓. The facts are that benefits are heavily under claimed ..♿

[LisaGoforth-ft]

So is the UK doing school vouchers too?

[__CND__]

I wonder how much of the £70bn goes to private companies dragging out decisions on people getting the small change they need to have a bit of help and support... and whether the state pension which most people pay into all their lives is also included.

[PhyllisGlassupTheBrim]

I was once bitten by a large Carpet python.

[paulstephenson]

From within such, on the outside looking in to 'normal, ' there is no such thing as 'mild mental illness'...

[RogerMaccy]

Cut back on your 98 inch TV's and gold plated toilet seats 😐

[JakHensha_]

Helpful policy around LCWRA, PIP and other disability payments would be setting up schemes with the money saved from the cuts to help those of us with complex needs have those needs met so we can go back to work.

[aequanimitas]

The thing that's missing, so far, in this conversation, PIP and other benefits are not given based on which condition you have, it's based on how your condition affects you. So if you have mild anxiety that's not affecting your life in any meaningful way, you won't get it. There is so much ignorance around this issue.

[Sherluck]

Not sure what's going on, but everybody seems to follow the nuttiness of the US, without question.

[jujitsu]

I know someone who was mauled by a leopard and has been/will be for the rest of her life in a wheelchair…what a fun topic

[MichaelReaddin]

The 1 in 8 figure assumes that they are claiming benefits, that’s just not true.

[Bathcity]

Put the National Anthem on loud and enjoy 😮

[MACNAB-tb]

@The topics headline.I was once bitten by a rabid gerbil, does that count?

[bryancmccaffrey]

Could honestly listen to James speak in that American voice for the entirety of the programme 😂

[MMMM]

5000 years ago - we were basically still just OOA like Robert Redford.

[Themlpg]

Sorry but you were disgusting toward the guy with the son with autism. Just disgusting.
