For some reason she wants the signer to be actually in the same place as the speakers rather than superimposed in the corner of the screen. With respect can she not look on the BBC news website?

Try walking in her shoes for a day.
You lot have no idea what you're talking about.
No idea of the isolation deafness causes. The way it affects all aspects of your life. No idea of of the wider repercussions such as depression, suicide etc.
As it happens, I know Amanda Casson Webb mentioned in the article and I've seen first hand the work her company does. It is outstanding. It changes peoples lives.
Don't talk about things you know nothing about.

Thanks for this I don't know anyone deaf but my initial reaction was something along those lines.You lot have no idea what you're talking about.

I must admit it did seem a little odd if they're broadcasting live with BSL interpreters on the BBC News Channel at the same time as the Downing Street briefings.
Genuine question does having someone "in the room" make a big difference or is it literally the view that not doing so is discriminatory?

All the journalists were not physically present after all due to lockdown restrictions.

That's the bit that made me laugh, she would have known any required information within five minutes with no interpreter.
I'm all for folks having a moan but fabricating stress is pretty low.
Indeed. Subtitles not enough, or are many deaf people illiterate?I'm all for folks having a moan but fabricating stress is pretty low.

h trying to lip read with so many wearing masks. Who can they complain to?If we all stop talking about things we know nufin about then this place is finished!
BSL is the first language of many deaf people, not English.
Think about that for a moment.
It's a language! Not a stop gap or means to an end.
Without it they can't communicate with the outside world properly.
Subtitles are always abridged and are rarely accurate and always out of synch in live programmes.
Deafness is an invisible disability. You look normal, you're not physically impaired. But because you look alright, people think you are alright. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Look the words already used on this thread about a woman who just wants to be included in life and get important up to date health information at the same time as the hearing community.
Slow, illiterate, extremist.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Amanda's company RAD, commissioned at their own expense, clear masks to give to their members a better chance of coping.

Deaf people often find reading difficult and read at a much lower reading age. Kids learn to read by linking spoken sounds with written characters. Deaf people don't have experience of the sounds to link, so it's much more difficult to learn to read. Sign language also follows a different sentence structure and grammar to written English so it's like learning a new language as well There are often sign interpreters at concerts and other events, don't see why it would have been so hard to provide one here. Wales and Scotland apparently managed it.
