Hi, I just complained to the BBC about one of their shows and the use of derogatory terms to describe people with mental health issues.
It struck me that its the last open discrimination accepted by the media and TV.It seems to be open season when it comes to derogatory terms for us, even on the BBC.They are scared stiff to use words like "nigger" etc but when it comes to using slang for people with mental health issues , hey go for it!
Who knows? I may be the next "Mary white house" for schizophrenics lol
Perhaps I should compulsively bang off a few hundred emails to the media a week?
It will be interesting to read the reply, I'll post it here in a few days.
