You don't want to keep on mentioning being blind because it stops being funny - if you are just talking about that, people are going to get bored of it.

We need to get to the point where somebody has a script and they go: 'Well, why can't they use a wheelchair? It doesn't mention it in the script but why can't this person be deaf?'

Why is it that 75% of blind and partially sighted people of working age are without employment. That's three times the national average. Is that discrimination? Well, I would argue it is, so let's try and fix it eh? I think the government can commit to something better than what they already do.
