I've just been on the website about the campaign but can't see any mention

I
use — chiefly the electronic newspaper service — in response to their
latest
ad campaign. There has been an item on this at the end of today's edition
of WATO. Celebs including Barbara Windsor and Shirley Bassey are

describes

that she's going to die. Once again they have turned my impairment into
a
thing of terror and me into an object of pity and I've had enough of
