Jamie McDonald

It wasn't so much an existential crisis, it was more a question of, do I, as a blind person on a high-profile show, have a duty to entertain or to uphold best accessible practices at all costs? At the recording, if a voiceover had come on saying, Jamie, you're looking at a picture of a Ford Fiesta. It's brilliant. Yeah, that's accessible. But as a comedian, what am I going to do with that?

I'd probably say something like, just another car I can't drive. The trolls would go nuts. Insensitive monsters. How do you tell a blind person he's looking at a picture of a car? You can't win. And I think one of the problems is that some people, they see disability as one thing. It's not. Blindness is like infinite combinations of psychological and physical impacts on people.

You could have relatively good sight, be miserable, vice versa, everything in between. Blind people, we're all different. We're like snowflakes. Not two of us the same. And if a lot of us fall, people panic. And I was reflecting, I was reflecting on all this when I opened Twitter to see how the storm was doing. And it was, it was finally fading. But one tweet did catch my attention.

At, finally somebody with some skin in the game wrote, I watched this as a newly acquired sight loss woman. And I found Jamie the cup of tea with no sympathy had been needen. Being Glaswegian, I got both his personality and his patter. And that decided it for me.
