Have you ever watched the Paralympics, or para-sport?

There should be more disabled people on TV and in the media than there are at the minute yes, but all this about people in wheelchairs is nonsense

there's more to disability than a bloody wheelchair

If I'm correct Jack don't they have a Football section for blind people at the Paralympics? and god knows how many deaf people, wheelchair bound people, or god knows what other disabled people take part in the Paralympics so they're not that underrepresented.

And to The Truth, I agree with you on the NHS actually as they lied about what my Grandad died of 11 years ago soon to be 12 years ago which is strange, they are an incompetent Hospital that needs a lot more funding from the Government, otherwise anytime one of us get's a lethal illness like cancer we'll be 99.99% guaranteed to die from it. However where your point is going wrong is when you are trying to prioritize one view over another just because you like one group of people but don't like the other, imo everyone should be equal but obviously it will take time as you've got to help one group at a time, it's not so easy as to "oh we're gonna make disabled people equal today." It just doesn't work that way, a sad fact but it's true enough.

no wheelchairs.....thats a pitiful sum total for a show thats been running umpteen years and is meant to be a champion of liberal UK and minorities......Id say thats a less than 0.1% record...when in fact theres millions of disabled people , possibly as many as 10 million if you include everything...thats 1 in 6 people. is 1 in 6 people on tv disabled? worst of all is parliament itself...Ive only ever seen 1 wheelchair and 1 blind man....and nothing is ever said about it...pathetic

Shush now.

Big Brother's a champion of liberal UK and minorities? No, it's a reality television show designed for entertainment purposes.

I take it you will be picketing the armed forces for not having their fair share of people in wheelchairs on the front line if it's all about representation?
