The BBC News interviews Jody McIntyre, the man who was pulled from his wheelchair at the last fees demo.
The BBC made an utterly disgraceful interview of Jody McIntyre. Jody has cerebral palsy, has limited use of his arms and legs, and needs to pushed in his wheelchair. The interviewer is Ben Brown.
The interviewer repeatedly badgers Jody McIntyre and implies that he was - could possibly be - a physical threat to a line of riot police in riot gear. The interviewer implies that he may be responsible for being pulled from his wheelchair and dragged along the ground by a policeman. It's sickening.
