Why hide it, it wont bloody hurt her to see her and have it explained to her properly. Hide it and your teaching her disability is something strange and to be feared...that is hurting her!...And if you mean the woman who has one arm should keep it hidden you are having a laugh?

lol ... am I missing something?... is Australia known for it's poor treatment of the handicapped? hehe.
Anyway... it will be a crazy world if perfectly capable people can't get a job just because a 2 year old's dad complained. Arista it was you who implied she got the job to fill some quota. So by that are you saying she does her job poorly and only got the job because of he disability? lol..."Aussie Old Type Dark Days" ... sounds like your living the dream hehe.

I cannot say it better than this.

By hiding it, gives it a negative taboo attitude - thus kids will get scared of it and form prejudices.

Yes the Quote about
her getting the Job because of her arm
was debated on Radio and TV here.

Also many have said she is not as good as the other presenters.
So it is many attacks.

To her credit
she can handle it.

I just hope the BBC National TV News does
not put this story up tonight
which could make it worse.

Can I also just mention that the presenter herself has a small daughter.

Anyway, I think she shouldn't be stopped from working on TV just because of her disability, its good that children question these things because then they learn more. I'm sure its just these paranoid parents who are all saying its a bad thing - and I bet their kids haven't commented on it, it will only be a small number who will even notice!

I agree with pinkmichk.
Also, whats all this about her actual presenting skills? I can't say I've tuned into CBeebies ;o

The BBC News can put a angle on it
and make it all worse.

At the moment it is just papers
so it could die away.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard about being complained about, and that includes sex and nudity on GMTV and "that" dress on Dancing on Ice.

The people that complain perhaps want to tell their children about disabilities and stop making them think that the world is perfect. Remove them from their cotton wool and bubble wrap and make them open their eyes to these problems in life, not everything is as rosy as it is on TV! What message does it really send out to their children? Its OK to be scared of people with disabilities? Disabled people aren't normal too?

Those who complained need to get a grip and open their eyes to physical disabilities, and the sooner they can do that the sooner we can just forget all about it and let the poor woman get on with her job without feeling like shes being ridiculed which I'm sure is something she has had to put up with time and time again.

Although I'm usually against this kind of substitution, substitute the word "disabled" for "black" and imagine that she has both arms. Its no different to that kind of prejudice imo and those who complained disgust me.

rant over, ha I sound pretty clever

But in those days there was no Foruns on the BBC
or a Media like today.

You can never compare 20 years or more ago with the Multi Channel days of today.


Mind you
then the BBC was not Bloated.

"Also many have said she is not as good as the other presenters."

No they didn't.... this magical "many" that you always use to back up your arguments is fictional.

"Yes the Quote about

Who cares about what was debated on TV.... we're having a debate now.... telling us that "many" said this and "many" said that doesn't help your argument.

"which could make it worse."
your arguing that the disabled shouldn't be seen on the TV but should be locked away. Out of site, out of mind. There's nothing they could say that could "make" it worse than what's going on in your mind.

she isnt that good as a presenter but neither is her co-presenter but they are new and had big shoes to fill as the old presenters were there for some 7 odd yrs so knew the job inside out but that should be more the issue than her disability there should be no issue over her disabilty cos thats just teaching children bad ways as i said whats next then for those 9 complainers? take off something special which is a program that goes into special needs schools with children who have all manor of disabilities in case it scares a child as i also said i have many friends who have children of all ages from babies to 10 yrs old and all those children not one has been scared even if they had noticed they asked a simple question such as why does that lady not have 2 full arms get told a suitable answer and thats that it took me about a week to notice but as i said i am not bothered by it
there is far too much predjuice in this world as it and yes as has been said the presenter in question has a 4 month old daughter herself
she is bound to be nervous in a new job but add to that having to deal with people being negative about her disability (which she was born with) cant make it any easier
i am glad that the bbc are not ignoring the fact that the entire human race is different for whatever reason i applaud them if it means i have to answer questions about it so be it it will mean my daughter will hopefully not discriminate just cos someone has a disability as i previously said her own grandad is disabled she just accepts this as kids do its only when parents shove their own 'ideals' on to the kids it brings up things like this

are you for real?? this is not the olden days where people like this human being (who has accepted this is who she is since birth) are kept hidden and only allowed to be in freak shows and circus' its attitudes like that that cause so much predjuice in this world
