Welcome!

This blog is written by a deaf RNID member mainly to give an alternative view of the organisation that represents deaf people without their consent, involvement or proper say. When we had to undergo the torture of cross-country at school, we were often hit by pain caused by the build up of lactic acid. Our sympathetic PE teacher suggested a choice of two different remedies - either focus on the pain or ignore it. Some people might say that I am obsessed by the RNID issue, but I am in fact just focusing on the pain.

I welcome free speech in comments because I believe in transparency, accountability and public debate. However, I reserve the right to remove comments which are profane, offensive or fallacious in logic.

I choose the name 'The Regency' because it sounds like a nice pub and it is us, deaf people, who should rule our own affairs.
