English Translation

(looking at the letter)

Hello. Now I announce as a Chairperson. Been conclude what 12 April March now. What? I feedback everything now.

There were between 200 - 240 people attend to the march. I was surprised. I thought it was under 100 people. No, it was more. It was 200 to 240, I have been viewed at the end of the march. Some people leave at near end, and new people arrive late to rejoin the march. That is why.

For Police staff, how many? 42. Police staff within 42, 8 police can sign language. Breakdown - 3 police BSL level 2, 2 BSL Level 1, 3 Professional Interpreters. Total 8, thank you to Police. Police reply via email after the march.

"Hi Betty, Thank you for the kind words. It went very well. If you want to do something again let me know and I will help. I hope things go OK for both in the further. The public saw a very good and positive imagine of Deaf Community. Cheers Mark (police)."

This mean evidence it was fanastic march. 6 Stewards (volunteers) thank you. Also, interpreter Frances. Thank you.

How to get in Prime Minister 10 Downing Street. Should be 6 as a group, but 3 have dropped out. baby was not able to go as it was raining. Battery for camera was flat out. Me, Frances as volunteer interpreter, and See Hear got in Number 10. That is why. We got petitions to hand. Only few deaf people stayed. Some deaf people have gone because it was raining. So some deaf people stayed, I gave speech, then finished. I have contacted Police what conclusion. Police says that we were good behaviour.

(shown the letter)

This letter proposed. In November 2007, Baroness Deech annouced Clause 14 that deaf is prevented by this clause. But many of deaf people in deaf community did not know what is going on. In January we were shocked to find out. Then we start to contact pvarious of sources. It was rush but worked out what to do, contact people. Action, Action, Action. 4 months, then a March on 12 April. 4 months was a very hard working.

Negative:-

Have few items. One deaf person feedback want to donate money in a box for lobbying. I have been replied sorry our constitution not allowed for this. You can go our website and donate. It is allowed. Or you can go to bank and write account number to send to us, specific as "March".

Constitution is not allowed for donate box, I apologise.

Secondly, March, what weather it was? Rainy only few. 5 to 10 minutes. That is it. Same as myself were wet (clothes).

Lastly, wolverhampton large group want to come to march. But one person from wolverhampton said to them No, it is for disabled. That is wrong information.
That is his responsibility for wrong infomation. Deaf should ask them questions.

Other person been asked me, I understand. He was confused about march. In facebook, deaf person from stop eugencis been told him not go to march as focus on all HFEB Bill. NOT TRUE.

I have been told the same information as below vlogs all are Clear. I propose you to look Prime Minister as previous vlogs.

Other person lastly told, Stop Eugenics has been lot negative lots of abuses against us. Same as deaf professionals pulling down to the bottom. One organisation in the march, but no other organisations come to support. Nothing. None supported us. I am disappointed.

Police has been phoned BDA and been asked about the march. BDA not supported the march. But Police has fully supported us for the march. Thank you to the Police.

Please you all think about "You can, I can, we can" to save deaf children's lives and deaf baby, save deaf genes. Save Lives. Tell the Truth.

Thank you for all the march, police and other people who come to support march. I greatly big thank you.

VERY IMPORTANT: LAST ANNOUNCEMENT.

(Screen information)

Hello. Chairperson Announcement. Important information to give.

1. Police and we have been agreed. Very important for IDC and police been agreed to sign the contract, been signed last night. Finished signed. That is positive.

I explain to you marching will be a peaceful march. Please no violence or fighting. No. If you get violence or fighting, steward will remind to calm down. If ignored, we will inform Police. Police will able to arrest you.

That is why, its respect, all of us need to enjoy the march. March what for? march against the Government so the law need to be changed. Very important we need to with together all Unity and it will be a good march.

2. Car Park

Police has been explained to us, we understood. Not allow to park on two red lines, two yellow lines. On one yellow line, it is possible to park, but please see instructions on pole, depend on what time and whether it is free to park. No problem, there are parking in Westminister area. No problem.

3. Trafaglar Square is Cancelled.

The rally is now moved to Richmond Terrance. This is meet there, as you know it is opposite of 10 Downing Street. Richmond Terrance area. It has been agreed and it is free area. It is good for me to stand up on stool, and give lecture. Police have been give permission for this. It has been agreed.

Parents with deaf children has not been informed us about 10 Downing Street. I have been disappointed they not informed us to come to Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street. I and the interpreter will go to 10 Downing Street. I have been disappointed mothers of deaf children not informed us nothing.

Lastly, tomorrow See you at the march! Meet where? Waterloo station exit 5, you can see Cafe called Azzuro. More easy to find, with large space with deaf people in the area. Some deaf people want to come earlier at 11.00, or 11.30pm.

We organisers meet volunteers at 11.00 so we will have a meeting with stewards (volunteers). We will share very important information. Then the stewards will give exact information where the procession start, ensure procession moving.

Thank you for watching. See you. We will get conclusion of the outcome on Sunday.

Bye.

clear Information: Mother Children and why petition?

Screen information.

Hello. I would like to clarify, Thank you for all deaf people have been feedback to me. Learning to improve. I need to know so we can improve better. Thank you all.

Two things. Firstly, you see why we said children, wonder what? We want to take children to the Downing Street, with 6 children to show to Prime Minister. Prime Minister need to see children as Deaf, make him realise. Relating to Deaf Genes issues. For the future. That is why.

I need to ask permission of mothers, allow to take the children to there. Also we have an interpreter (volunteer) to come with us to communicate with them.

Secondly, why we do need Petition? Petiton is very important. Why, we need all petition to be collected, then final report on the top, then we get and hand in Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.

That is two things.

I now inform you you can download the petition from the Blog, you will see right of the screen, you can press it and download the petition. Do not worrry about the deadline, it will be on 12 April.

Please send to us now. Why? We need to count petitions then produce a formal report with petitions. Just carry on filling the form, not worry about deadline. Please support us. All of us. We did receive petitions but need more. We have a week left, and need to fill as much as we can.

Then 12 April, 4 days that is all. Perhaps I am wrong. 1, 2, 3, 4 , no I am right 4 days left. Relief. Been busy organising. Police been discussed and agreed. I now inform you please again feedback to us.

Bye
