Reasonable Adjustment

Reasonable Adjustment were a disabled armed resistance movement operating from 1988 to 1993. Their actions included a shooting at Pebble Mill television studios in 1989 and a bombing at Euston station. No one was injured during their campaign, but one member was killed in an accident at a riot, an incident that was captured by a news photographer.[1]

Reasonable Adjustment or RAD went further than other disability rights groups at the time as they advocated violence to achieve their goals. They believed in the philosophy of The Social Model of disability.[2]

In January 2020, an exhibition on the movement by filmmaker and artist Justin Edgar will open at The Art House Gallery in Wakefield.[3]
