I just dont think its right to put someone in the house solely because they are disabled. If they DID pick someone just to have someone in a wheelchair and nothing else, it would still be discrimination anyway, only positive discrimination.

still no wheelchair ACCESS...THAT IS ILLEGAL AND BLATANT DISCRIMINATION...no one asked about putting people in just because theyre in wheelchairs, why would you jump to such a ridiculous conclusion....the access has never been there so clearly these people would be less inclined to apply...the fact the access has never been there is a complete disgrace and parliament should get involved....

There is no wheelchair access...BECAUSE there are no disabled housemates, not the other way round. It would be very easy to make the house wheelchair accessable if there was going to be a housemate that needed it. Infact didnt steve come out of a different exit when he got evicted? I dont remember if he went into a different place when he entered or not though...so clearly there is a way for disabled HMs to enter the house. Yeah, he wasnt in a wheelchair, but he had problems with stairs because of his leg, and that got sorted :S

Ive never even seen any contestant in a wheelchair at the auditions either....theyre deliberately trying not to advertise is as the producers wouldnt have the backbone to do it....13 years and nothing not even any candidates shown on the other pre bb shows. pathetic discrimination
