"Money is not infinite" Tories say re HS2. Let's not forget Stanley Johnson was only person in his road able to sell his London house to govt using HS2 scheme Paid £2.2m 2007, he sold at £4.4m 2016 All other neighbours were apparently refused an offer 🤔 Reference: newspaper

This is an educational service I assumed my civilised country provided for free as an obvious & just necessity & civil right. Lazily I did not pay sufficient attention & take into account the mindset of the country I was born into. My bad. #Ableism #UK

Rosie campaigned alongside the British Deaf Association to introduce the British Sign Language Act, which legally recognises BSL as a language. The items have recently been added to our displays as part of #CuratingforChange. https://t.co/SJLIRoMcYb

Rose Ayling-Ellis calls for free access to sign language lessons

If it takes one individual to change things @RoseAylingEllis call for free BSL training for parents of Deaf children is so important. Id go further and say the everyone should have access to this language. It’s shameful that we don’t all have basic BSL.
