Summarization
Campaigners are asking the government to provide more financial aid to parents of deaf children so that they can learn British Sign Language in order to communicate with their kids. Currently, most people have to pay expensive private courses to learn BSL, although there are some charities that provide free BSL classes in certain areas. The issue of representation of deaf people in the media is also being discussed.
Topic Modeling
- Accessibility of British Sign Language courses for the parents of deaf children
- Deaf representation in popular culture and media
- Consequences of not having access to sign language
- The need for access to communication
- Charities and government support for Deaf culture
Emotional Analysis
The emotions expressed in these tweets are largely those of frustration, anger, and sadness. The primary source of these emotions is the fact that parents of deaf children must pay for British Sign Language courses in order to communicate with their kids, which many take for granted. The tweets also express feelings of gratitude, appreciation, and joy as campaigners are asking for more help from the government and people are sharing resources to help parents learn BSL. Finally, there is also a sense of determination and hope as charities are providing BSL classes and people are working to increase Deaf representation.

| 1626297085413695491 | @beccytad @BDA_Deaf @NDCS_UK 🙌🏼🙌🏼 communication shouldn’t have a price tag. It should be accessible and free. The same as speech is for hearing people. I’m so lucky to be working with such wonderful people ❤️ @BDA_Deaf @NDCS_UK @DeafUmbrella @LiamODellUK https://t.co/NPTsoh9qBZ | 6 |
| 1627758635093721089 | @kgbuckle @ambideafkid @LiamODellUK @sophieLstone This guy is a very old time anti-BSL troll. He's been doing and saying awful stuff about BSL since I found deaf spaces online in 1999. I strongly recommend pre-emptively blocking him and not responding, cos he keeps spouting the same angry aggressive shit. | 5 |
| 1627250643701321730 | @LiamODellUK The way I didn’t know that and I’ve used it several times before and never been told. Now removing from vocab. | 5 |
