So predictable but so unnecessary that the Prime Minister continues his woeful, disgraceful habit of holding an emergency briefing on BBC News (UK) without #BSL interpreting. What exactly is his problem? #WhereIsTheInterpreter?

Interesting e.g. of a hearing heritage signer brokering for her deaf dad. She conveys his utterances in 3rd person. I have observed this a lot in my data. Brokers do 3rd person, interpreters do 1st person. Are we teaching interpreters to do something that is unnatural?

BSL is now an official language of the UK, yet Deaf people are still being left out of the conversation. Whether it's your first time or you know some BSL already, we want you to raise your hands & introduce yourself as a #BSLally signlanguageweek.org.uk #SLW2023

Big Govt news this week .. Disabled people to get opportunities working at home ? Really ? Who is leading this. ? Deaf people, wait 5 months for an adviser to deal with straightforward applications for BSL support. Working at home is not an option for many deaf people. End of. 😎

RETWEET: ITV please add BSL/English interpreters for General Election Questions in between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer on June 4th. Subtitles is not good enough for deaf people who use BSL, understand clear. BSL is another language but understands enough more.
