I just had a quick google of headlines about ‘The Vulnerable’.
Better suited to being the name of a crap indie band, or part of the next very long title of an album by The 1975, it’s the unfortunate name the media and Government like to give to a lovely big lump of us, including older people, disabled people, and anyone else living in poverty.
We are not ‘The Vulnerable ’. We are people – fully rounded people. Not a lump to be pitied under such an ugly, disempowering word.
