Calling Henry VIII disabled is just not “woke ideology” it is actually simply describing what he finally grew to become. His leg de él was badly injured to the purpose the place it prevented him from simply transferring round independently. That’s the very definition of a bodily incapacity.

Mockingly, it appears just like the Mail may need to put in writing a scathing piece about itself.
The Each day Mail article begins off complaining how “woke” the Nationwide Belief is for calling Henry VIII disabled… after which ends by explaining that he was disabled 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/or6PTlpcbj
