The brave disabled lady really did deserved some applause . Her points were good, she was passionate and she put herself in front of everyone, knowing how difficult that would be, to make her points. Well done young lady, you have more integrity than the politicians you were challenging !.

Question time needs to find a presenter who is not biased. Fiona Bruce shows who she supports, and that should not be allowed on this program.
