In the comments, a user named Joanna said she was “so glad” that Neil did not make a video.

“I am just going about my daily business, I do not want to find myself online to ‘inspire’ a load of non-disabled people.
“This is so patronising, whether you meant it this way or not. Have a look at this for a different view.”
In response to the user, Neil defended himself saying he “would never make a video” without permission.
He clarified: “100 percent would never make a video, that’s why I said it because the amount of video I see popping up without permission including when people help anyone sleeping on the streets.”
She proclaimed: “The purpose of these images is to inspire you, to motivate you, so that we can look at them and think, ‘Well, however bad my life is, it could be worse. I could be that person’.
“But what if you are that person?”
