Lefties - tonight at midnight on BBC4.

I watched these last year and was very disapointed, but hardly surprised that they managed to make a three-parter without really covering working class lefties.

The Wimmin episode is good for a laugh though.

Concur.
 
The bizarre bit in the NoS programme describes the ridiculous equal opps policy adopted by the paper. Apparently, the management decided to employ mostly deaf people in the post room. Sounded all very David Brent like to me.
 
As deaf people share a common language as well as a disability this seemed reasonable to me. I imagine it would be refreshing for a lot of deaf people to be able to speak to their closest colleagues in their first language.

Appeared to be a ghetto to me.

If there was more than one person employed who is deaf what's stopping them from communicating in their first language where ever they work in the organisation?
