What is it with you and disabled people?

hip_young_gunslinger [Edit] [Delete] 16:07, 20 April '11

Has anyone else been paying attention to Blue being the UK's Eurovision entry? It's brilliant. The documentary on Saturday was one of the genuinely funniest things I've seen in ages - like a real-life Spinal Tap. And now they've had a feature in the Guardian, which has so many funny moments, I don't know where to start, but probably here:

..."We all have different fans," Duncan says. "I get a lot of the mums and the disabled children. A lot of my fans have got cerebral palsy, but you know what? I love children like that, and I love people who have got disabilities because I spent a lot of time in hospital with my grandparents when they were ill, and Mum was a nurse. It's just in my nature. I'm like a magnet to them, and I treat them like normal people so they latch on. I once had a launch party and there was a queue of disabled kids all in wheelchairs come to see me, and Sara [the band's manager] walked in and goes: 'What is it with you and disabled people?'

Amazing.
