Discussing the event.
Communication in video is in British Sign Language. My appologies if the pictuire quality is not good enough to make out signs. The participants will themsleves post a text written by themselves very soon.

Deaf activists protesting against internal organisational and funding policies within the RNID.

Brilliant!!!! What more can you ask for?! It is time for the RNId to admit their devious ways and for them to change their policies against Deaf people. Now at last after years and years, they are guilty!! At last!!!!

I leave you with a quotation from the Deaf Liberation Front "...Free the Opressed..."

RNID Exhibitions

Visited the RNID Exhibitions. The 'best' stall based on my judgement was my old school... Royal School for Deaf Children, Margate, and the volunteer was a very good teacher with FLUENT B.S.L. The second BEST stall was HSBC Bank plc, a senior member of staff using FLUENT BSL.

However when I arrived at the reception (manned by RNID staff) I attempted to make enquiries but shocking to me, considering myself as Deaf and fluent BSL user, the staff (hearing!) could not sign but a little.. 'Oh come on, the BSL interpreter!' (a damn unimpressive 'welcome'!) as well as most of RNID exhibition staff.

It seemed that RNID wasted more money on getting so such many BSL interpreters rather than spending on CACDP's BSL courses for staff (rather than RNID's own one!)
