BSL Interpreters HIDE Issues EXPOSED NOW!
(My English lack of my real emotions contain more information while playing the video clips - my BSL is emotional more information than English).
Hello. I am very crossed why the interpreter again pick deaf people (blacklist). They pick deaf people they really like or get well with that person, and remove other deaf people from their assignment!! I BEEN FIND OUT!! SHOCKING! Been witnessed hearing who organised for a BSL interpreter. BSL interpreters been asking "who is this deaf person? Hang on, no way Sorry I do not want to work with this person!"
I am very angry I have been told you all last year I have been so clear told you, why you interpreters WANT SO MUCH POWER than Deaf to bottom of the list (passive). Rejecting them at your gain. WHY STILL AGAIN!?! OHH, I SEE THESE INTERPRETERS ARE SELFISH.
Those interpreters WANT themselves thinking "I am Professional! I am an interpreter! I am deciding to do this because of Health and Safety regulations! I am important! No, I must have two interpreters as a rule! I refused to work unless I have another interpreter! No I cannot work all day on my own!" with bad attitude.
I have seen it happen often! Now I found out they are still doing picking deaf clients! STILL!! Using the name of clients! WHY!!!
I tell you from now!
All interpreters not allow to ask the name of the clients from now! Who is that person! Not allowed! They must now ask what is the assignment, subject, how long is the assignment, date and time, but not "who is that person!".
(pointing the finger)
All these must STOP NOW!
I am telling you - Interpreters have broken their Confidentiality rule! I have responsibility to tell to deaf community it has been happened. Deaf people told me they broke the confidentiality. Have one of these examples - Interpreters been talking with other interpreters with client information name, and problems the interpreters have with. Other interpreters has been advised them not to work with that client anymore pretend that there is no work or the assignment is fully booked. Why the interpreters lied or making excuses?
STOP!!
I know already there were 300 interpreters shortage 10 years ago. Yes it was a big problem. But now there were over 650 to 700 interpreters, there were more and more new interpreters, more more will be more.
It is now "no excuse" to say interpreter shortage! Please take off "interpreter shortage". You all interpreters have to be aware.
FIRST IS DEAF POWER. Interpreters are second and must follow what deaf is priority. What deaf people want? In America, interpreters are 2nd, and 1st are Deaf and they work well over there.
In Britan, why INTERPRETER GOT MORE POWER THAN DEAF? Deaf is bottom? NO!! I tell you NO! Wanting Deaf to be passive? NO! NO!
We will check to Interpreters now! Deaf must involved in moderation! To these interpreters. MUST!
IN interpreter egroup, interpreters been discussing and continue to make decisions without deaf people. Not much deaf people are aware of what going on, many deaf people in community do not know. Interpreters made decisions!
Interpreters must accept feedback from deaf people. If deaf people gave feedback then interpreters do not want to work with them, then we will launch a campaign against Interpreters. Yes.
Thank you!

It is a moot point John. I know there is in fact an opt out clause for Interpreters, if they feel the deaf person is aggressive or hostile, or, they feel incompatible with the deaf clients for a communicational reason.
In reality if you are very forceful in your opinions about rights, some will refuse to work with you and suggest you use someone else. It IS quite wrong, but this is the lot of activists of BSL who will demand their rights and the right to control how the interpreter acts with them. terps like to do their own thing !
At the end of the day, if a terp doesn't want to support you, then, you have to seek someone else who is far more aware of what deaf rights entails. NOT easy ! In fact I have the same problems with social workers refusing to empower my BSL partner because it's "Not my Job to.."
Thank you MM
Deaf people or I have not been aggressive or hostile at all.
BSL interpreters could not take our feedback directly, because we are too honest how to feedback to them how to improve the situation.
Remember that interpreter mind should be our mind / brain and do what we behave or suggest.
If interpreter refuse to do what we would like, it create spilt two persons. Know what I mean?
I can relate to what you said about social workers! Thank you for your comments.
Hi BSL Activist,
I would not blame you feeling that way about being unfairly singled out by the interpreter agency.
Same thing happened in America, too. Handful of deaf people asked me for my help how to rein in the ASL interpreter to offer hir own service, not being prejudiced against some deaf clients.
If the matter of life and death, ASL/BSL interpreters should be not being choosy or will face the legal charge of neglienece and involuntary manslaughter (indirected murder).
Yes, you are absolutely right about the confidentiality of deaf clients being violated by the association among interpreters.
Some deaf Americans do face the unwritten blacklistings because they are being blunt with the assigned interpreters whom are truly unqualified within their assignments, etc.
Only the way is to contact the disablity rights organization in UK to see if they could assist you to file the legal action against interpreters for their refusal to do their obligations.

I was going to respond to you, but you left another message to swear to me. Why Swear to me?
No respect to me, I will not respond to any of your context from now.
Thank you.
