  What Anna was most shocked by was that a ramp was available, but an organiser had just decided that she wouldn’t want to get on the stage:

  An events person came up and she was like “Oh, I heard that you were upset about not getting on the stage, I’m really sorry. We do have a ramp, I just thought you wouldn’t want it. I didn’t put it out today.”

    It honestly seems worse.

    It’s pretty easy to get a ramp built, fixing stupid is much harder.

      The story yesterday from the bbc was poorly written and in a caption under the picture it made it sound like the woman did not want the ramp.
