A🧵about Pedal Bins in #disability toilets:
1) Having used said toilets over past 4 weeks I’ve found a major flaw in ALL bar one
Pedal bins
With no other way to open them except with a foot
How crazy is that:

5) so PLEASE people who design or advise re #disabledaccess toilets STOP PUTTING PEDAL BINS IN THEM
Because a large percentage of people with a #disability who need to use #disabled toilets CANNOT USE THEIR FEET

4) Surprisingly I’ve found some hospital toilets have this flaw too.
The ONE #disabledaccess loo I applaud👏🏻 is at @JerseyWarTunnel
Their bins had alternative access at the top
& the drying facilities were next to the sink
(PS fab Museum too by the way)

3) I end up putting towels either on top of bin or throwing them on the floor
Plus the towel dispenser or hand dryer is often too far away from sink so
I’m left leaning against it with wet hands unable to dry them
Then I can’t use my crutches safely!

2) I’m non weight bearing using either traditional crutches
or @iwalkfree knee crutches to get around.
So how am I supposed to open the pedal bin when I’ve only got one leg?
More importantly how do people #disabled with a spinal cord injury open the bin with ANY foot?

Agree. But Trump KNOWS that. This was planned. It was unpresidential, incredibly rude, and as Trump showed by his final remarks, only meant for his base.
It has backfired on him though. 👍

The argument & finger pointing etc should not have happened in public. In my line of work I would have been severely reprimanded if I had done this to ANYONE in public - even if I had just cause to do so. it’s unprofessional, disrespectful & downright rude
