its just so few people bother picking up on it here
It's not that disabled people can't be bothered, it's that disabled people can't afford the financial and time/energy outlay. Class action lawsuits don't work in the UK the way they do in the US (they're harder to bring, for a start), and they're also fairly new in the UK as we didn't have the legal apparatus until recently. The UK's first class action lawsuit was only brought a couple of years ago and they're still pretty rare. Ed Scoble Himself Personally Now vs The Internet isn't really a financially or existentially viable option.
Most disability activism in the UK happens on social media for exactly this reason - putting pressure on companies via Twitter is the only kind of activism that most of us can realistically afford. It chafes a bit to have abled people wondering why we don't just get on and do more :-)

Yes, thats exactly what I meant, all differently abled people are lazy and apathetic, thanks for picking up on that...

Its actually a form of discrimination that is against the law, its just so few people bother picking up on it here. In the US there are 5 new lawsuits a day..
