Guest alex Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 See below. Not that surprising I suppose, there seems to be story about him every other day of late. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4398004.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 At least he's had the foresight to see his position was becoming increasingly untenable. He's done a blinding job and will be missed. Eye've no doubt he'll be back in the cabinet in 6 months time, but whether it's in a high profile role remains to be seen.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I was thinking of that one but remembered seeing it in a previous thread, about Blunkett if i remember righty! We might be going over old ground Al! We'll have the RNIB hitting us with their sticks and setting their guide dogs on us next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know deaf people generally speaking have no problem with being called deaf (went on a 'Deaf Awareness' Course as the lass I used to work with was deaf).

I had a friend who was completely blind who insisted on using the word blind rather than the more PC terminology. And for the record Blunkett is a twat, and that has nothing to do with his eyesight.

Lou 0 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 *wonders who the first person will be to comment that you could call deaf people what you want, they won't hear* *wonders who will point out that deaf people are often very good at lip reading, so they could probably tell* *etc* I did a Deaf Awareness Course the other year too. So much fun Was weird when there was a thunder storm outside though, and the thunder cracked really loudly and we ALL looked outside, including my deaf teacher, and we were like 'how did u know?!' and he'd felt it because it had made stuff shake. He did get confused when we all kept looking outside when there were fireworks somewhere nearby though.... at every bang we'd all look up, and he was just like 'what!??!!' so we had fun trying to explain. It was just like a big 2 hour game of charades every week. (Me?? Trivialise things? With MY reputation....?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
