theyre too upper class too dominated by the oxbridge posh boys....I dont find these posh boys like stephen fry remotely funny...in fact his trips around america found him to be very narrow minded little englander mocking the yanks at every turn and playing to the english audience....i prefer working class funny men and women who relate to the man on the street, who have real life experiences which we can all relate too....I loved dave allen, jasper carrott, billy connolly, lee evans, jack dee, dylan moran, then the yanks and jewish comics take over....as for lenny henry hes just peeved because hes not particularly funny

There are millions of people in wheelchairs.

The entire cast of Corrie should be disabled.

There was a man in a wheelchair in EE last year. There's also a blind woman in ED.

How many disabled people do you know who all live in the same street/village?

Zillions of wheelchair users live on the same street? Really?

Also "disability" is more than wheelchairs. There are millions of people with "invisible" disabilities.

I do think disabled people are under-represented. But again, should shows write in a disabled person just to be PC? I dont know tbh

I don't think Masood was ever truly religious though. He never prayed or anything, he just kept to certain Muslim "rules" for the sake of Zainab.

Apparently 8% of our population has a physical disability. I never knew it was that high...even in day to day life I don't see many wheelchairs or anything at all :/

seriously? you havent hear dof radical feminist groups demanding more women be represented on our notes? its made the bbc main news dozens of times.....a story which has had more bbc main news coverage than the tens of thousands who die of clots in nhs hospitals.....you may not see the direct link, there is direct competition every day over what makes the news.....for some reason this trivial feminist nonsense is seen as more important than matters of life and death by those radical liberals who control the news agendas....what chance do the disabled have eh?

Just searched. Seems the problem was having NO women on bank notes after the fiver switched to Winston Churchill. Personally I still feel thats pretty trivial though...but different things matter to different people I guess

Never realised these change.org petitions actually worked...

That's like saying that because people are dying from easily curable illnesses in other parts of the world that we shouldn't dare complain about the level of medical care in our own country because it's still a million miles ahead of elsewhere.

That's not how things work and is incredibly simplistic.

no its not like saying that at all. one minute you accuse me of covering too many subjects and changing the subect now Im being too simplistic. either way your goal is to win a small argument with me, my goal is bigger much bigger. I want people to look at the bigger picture beyond the liberal news agenda that brainwashes so many. if that means you beta me in an arguemtn, so be it. Ill happily run naked across TIBB and make a total tw*t of myself. Id sacrifice myself at the alter of ;liberalism if it achieves the goal of forcing people to look at different angles

No, I meant you're approaching this "bigger picture" with very simplistic views on it.

You're throwing very different thing in one pot and simplifying how they come together.

That's not how it works.
