The Blind Side Podcast 36, Accessible Virgin Australia in-flight entertainment, UK election

Published: May 23, 2017, 6:33 a.m.

One person can make a big difference, with the law on their side and a bit of tenacity. Phillip Chalker tells Jonathan Mosen about his successful campaign to have Virgin Australia install accessible in-flight entertainment systems on their aircraft.

Unexpectedly, UK voters are going back to the polls again, for a snap general election. Dave Williams joins Jonathan Mosen to talk about the possible ramifications of brexit on the blind community. We look at some of the issues dominating the campaign, and learn about the hoops disabled people are being required to go through just to keep the benefits they have already.

Note that this interview with Dave was recorded before the barbaric and horrific events in Manchester. We send our deepest sympathies to everyone affected.
