My last comment on this brilliant British Deaf Association #BSLConference2024 is why oh why such large countries such as Australia and America have not signed up for sign language recognition?!! World Federation of the Deaf

Hang on, we signed Scottish Sign Language from the independent Scottish education system while you backed MHGS not too long ago. #BSLConference2024 (England) It’s a shame the *new* BDA isn’t interested in #ProtectingScottishSignLanguage! 🤷‍♀️🤷
