Letter: Hoddle's offence

Sir: Glenn Hoddle has been forced to resign because of his religious views on the causes of disability. Tony Blair spoke in favour of the resignation because of the "offence" caused to disabled people. I am a full-time wheelchair user and I find Mr Blair's contribution by far the more offensive.

In opposition he voted three times to allow abortion up to the moment of birth for babies with congenital disabilities such as mine. Apparently in Blairland one must not speak ill of the disabled, but one may kill them with impunity.
