    "People have said that our children are disabled, but that is wrong. They are not disabled," said Patrick.

    "Eric, our eldest child, has epilepsy, but he was born two months premature, he also has learning difficulties. Our other daughter, Sarah, has special needs," Patrick said.

    erm? contradiction?

    I notice that the BBC didn't print pictures of the children...


    ...However, a quick 'Google' found them...

    Yeah, I noticed that as well. Hardly the most stormingly well argued defence of their position, is it?

    "They're not disabled! Er, except for the two that are disabled, that is".

    Yeah, I thought she looked like Cath Tate too! Still, I ain't bovvered.

    I'd think their point might be that their children don't have disabilities associated with genetic defects.

    There's certainly an increased risk that they might both be carrying a defective gene that could be expressed in their offspring. However, as they say, this is far less likely to be passed on than when someone who has a known genetic disorder has children which is entirely within the law.

    Still, anyone who fancies their siblings needs to get out more; a heck of a lot more. :)

    the only good thing to come out of it, would be that the ginger kid wouldn't be bullied as much at school as these kids. (not because their disabled, but because their parents are related.)

    Ha ha very good. Poor ginger kids at school eh ?! They got a ton of abuse, at our school the other people getting abuse was a scottish kid called Dorian (To everyone back then that was a weird name) and an asian lad (nothing racist) called Dahlin. (pronounced darling). I'm sure he loved the 'alright darling' comments, top bloke though

    unfortunatly i was called myles at school. so the constant references to the unit of measurment was always a joy.

    luckily though, there was a kid with a massive head and an albino lad so they suffered the most.
