I think there's a problem with trying to speak out *for* those who are [we see as] vulnerable, rather than helping them to speak out for themselves.
I also think there's a danger of playing the martyr when there's no need for it - yes, it might well be worth a certain level of risk to attempt to protect vulnerable people, but when there are other things that can be done instead [lobbying MPs, volunteering for charities who work with vulnerable people, preparing policy documents putting forward an alternative plan, donating money to charities etc] why pick the one that has a higher risk of personal risk?
