Has she a point?

Perhaps it is better to be deaf when you are a Little Mix fan....

I thought it was a prerequisite?

It's probably been mentioned, but what I don't get is 'if the girl is deaf, how does she know she likes Little Mix?'

It's the girl's mother that's deaf, the girl just has fucking appalling taste in music.

An accurate comment, though perhaps a little bit too incisive ;)

So if the mother is deaf why does she need to someone to sign for her, does she like the music and if so how does she know. Not as if it's Dylan their going to see where the lyrics might actually mean something.

Stop talking sense. Anyway, it's something to do with equal access. I used to know someone who was deaf and he just used to enjoy the music being played by feeling the beat through the floor.
This woman, however, just sounds like she was out to be offended. They did what she asked but still offended

It all seems so unedifying, where does it stop?

Are you relaying info from a different article? (genuine question). I can't see anywhere that she tried to have the concert stopped (and let's be honest, it would never in a million years have come to that).

She took out an injunction to force them provide it. The fact the promoter backed down before the hearing suggests to me they knew they were failing to comply with the law. All of those added extras were also only offered when they finally agreed to the interpreter.

Offering her a carer pass falls short IMO. I think it's unreasonable to expect her (or indeed every single deaf person at every concert) to have acess to someone who can provide that specialised service. Makes much more sense that promoters provide this as standard or on request (providing enough warning is given ) and then also any deaf child or parent wanting to attend can benefit.

Personally, whether people think she's ungrateful or a busy body or whatever, this will probs set a precedent now and other families won't have to fight for it and therefore might feel more able to attend things like this. A positive outcome if you ask me.

I stand corrected, the court order was, as you say to provide a signer, I read it the other day and did not re-check but my point still stands, they offered her a free ticket so that she could have her own signer, I cannot see anything wrong with that, it too me was a sensible and honest response. i guess we will just have to disagree.
