SIGN LANGUAGE AS AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN THE UK

This petition is to target Gordon Brown to ask that BSL (British Sign Language) be recognised as an official language in the UK along with English, Welsh, Irish, Ulster Scots, Scots, Scottish Gaelic and Cornish.

The profile of BSL should be raised, because they cannot learn to speak English, so we must reach out to them and learn sign. I was never offered it as a subject in school, but feel I should have been. This is the first step towards making BSL more widely known to get it recognised as an official language.
