Concerning Employment Law Discrimination Uk

Are disabled people protected against individual, informal verbal discrimination?
I was wondering whether the law, in the UK, protects people with disabilities from being discriminated against on a personal and individual basis.
For instance, if I was at home, and a flat-mate repeatedly refused to tailor their behaviour to my disability, would they be liable ot face discrimination charges?
I am asking whether the law operates to protect disabled people from discrimination by individuals, not just in transactions and employment.
MJ, comments like that are not appreciated, and are extremely offensive to people suffering from serious disabilities. I know you played the 'disabled people are in my family' card, but quite simply, it doesn't absolve you of any blame in your own personal discrimination against them. Next time you cross the street, don't bother looking.
Wow, some very bigoted people are answering this question. How much hatred do you have of people who are born in more unfortunate circumstances than you?
It's disgusting.
just goes to show that an idiot is an idiot is an idiot. regardless of there personal situation. Do not generalise personal attacks on yourself to the whole disabled community. its the sign of an idiot. my advice is to never speak your vile nonsense again.
we are working very hard to educate people about disabilities and having a lot of success. but every now and again an idiot turns up and tries to show themselves as some self appointed spokesman for the disabled.
My advice to you is try to realise that its not your body that crippled but your mind and you should try to place yourself in front of a moving lorry at your earliest convenience.
lastly there is a reason that every comment is negative but i am sure that you would never see that.
