:00:07. > :00:13.Hello, from Bath, where we are investigating what it is like to be

:00:13. > :00:15.locked out of the housing market. Tonight, we go undercover and

:00:16. > :00:24.discover that the phrase "disabled access" does not always mean what

:00:24. > :00:33.it says. Also tonight, we meet the farmers

:00:33. > :00:37.who are having their land sold from under their feet. Will and is gone,

:00:37. > :00:44.the house will be gone, everything. And the drinking song that became

:00:44. > :00:54.one of the world's most famous national anthems.

:00:54. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:01.I am Alastair McKee and this is Inside Out West.

:01:01. > :01:05.Now if you have ever tried renting a home, you will know how difficult

:01:05. > :01:08.it is to find exactly the right place. But what if you happen to be

:01:08. > :01:15.a wheelchair user? Journalist Paul Carter went undercover in Bath to

:01:15. > :01:19.see how bad the problem is there. There a millions of disabled people

:01:19. > :01:21.in the UK, but our investigation reveals that, when it comes to the

:01:21. > :01:25.rental property market, sometimes the complete lack of understanding

:01:25. > :01:30.by estate agents is exacerbating the property crisis.

:01:30. > :01:33.My name is Paul Carter and, as you can see, I am physically disabled.

:01:33. > :01:36.I live in an accessible flat, which suits me fine, but it was a real

:01:36. > :01:39.struggle to find. I heard that many other disabled

:01:39. > :01:47.people have struggled to find suitable properties, so I am on a

:01:47. > :01:51.journey to find out why we are struggling so much. I think that a

:01:51. > :01:54.state agents do not look at disabled people has good potential

:01:54. > :01:57.customers. I am meeting with a young lady who

:01:57. > :02:00.has been unsuccessful in finding an appropriate flat in Bath.

:02:00. > :02:10.And I am going undercover, visiting flats which estate agent told me

:02:10. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:18.Phoebe is 22. For the last three years, she has been trying to find

:02:18. > :02:21.the right place, but is still looking.

:02:21. > :02:31.The whole process has been extremely trying for Phoebe and the

:02:31. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:36.stress is really starting to get to her. How is it going? For very

:02:36. > :02:39.frustrating. Yeah, a lot of the places do not

:02:39. > :02:42.have anywhere to show or they will take me to places they say are

:02:42. > :02:46.accessible which actually are not. So I'm just trying to, kind of, be

:02:46. > :02:49.stationed here, so I can be on the phone and off to somewhere, before

:02:49. > :02:53.it gets snapped up. Because there are so few places to look at, they

:02:53. > :02:55.go really quickly. So if you are not there on the mark, you will

:02:55. > :02:57.lose it. So has it been quite a difficult,

:02:57. > :03:00.time-consuming process? Yeah. I am, literally, not doing

:03:00. > :03:10.anything else other than looking for houses and drinking a lot of

:03:10. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:19.coffee to keep myself energised with my research.

:03:19. > :03:21.Phoebe's struggles are astonishing, but I am really intrigued by the

:03:21. > :03:25.problems she had with estate agents showing her non-accessible

:03:25. > :03:28.properties. I am keen to find out how widespread the problem is. So I

:03:28. > :03:30.am on the phone, randomly calling estate agents in Bath, trying to

:03:30. > :03:34.see if I can book some viewings for wheelchair-friendly propreties.

:03:34. > :03:37.I am looking for a property to rent in the Bath area. I am a wheelchair

:03:37. > :03:39.user, so I am wondering if you have anything accessible available at

:03:39. > :03:41.all? We haven't got anything at the

:03:41. > :03:43.moment. Finding anything to view is proving

:03:43. > :03:49.difficult, but I am not giving up just yet.

:03:49. > :03:52.The only thing we have which is a potential is a ground floor flat.

:03:52. > :03:56.But with a bit of perseverance, I am now finally finding estate

:03:56. > :04:02.agents who tell me they have accessible property for me.

:04:02. > :04:05.I have got a studio apartment on the ground floor.

:04:05. > :04:10.After talking to 20 letting agents, I have managed to book five

:04:10. > :04:13.viewings for flats which should work for me.

:04:13. > :04:18.Another person that has struggled to find an accessible apartments is

:04:18. > :04:24.Zoe. She took six months to find a place to live in Bath and also had

:04:24. > :04:26.a lot of trouble with estate agents. So I got in touch with a few local

:04:26. > :04:32.estate agents. Their knowledge of what properties would be suitable

:04:32. > :04:40.was not great. I mean, a lot of them did not even

:04:40. > :04:43.know what floor the flat was on. When they can not even tell you

:04:43. > :04:46.about the bathroom, whether it has a lift or what floor it is on, it

:04:46. > :04:50.is a bit difficult. So I made life difficult for estate

:04:50. > :05:00.agents, by going to make them look and come back and tell me, which

:05:00. > :05:10.

:05:10. > :05:13.had about a 50% success rate, but a lot of them did not even bother.

:05:13. > :05:16.Trailblazers is a national network of young disabled people who come

:05:16. > :05:18.together to address the issues that are important to them.

:05:18. > :05:21.They recently published a report that highlighted how estate agents,

:05:21. > :05:23.landlords and local authorities keep on failing disabled people in

:05:23. > :05:26.their search for properties. I do not think estate agents and

:05:26. > :05:28.letting agents look at disabled people as good potential customers.

:05:28. > :05:30.Therefore, they are ignoring their needs. Therefore, they don't think

:05:30. > :05:34.about the information that may be required.

:05:34. > :05:36.But I am hopeful, as I have several properties to visit that, I have

:05:36. > :05:39.been told by the estate agents, would be suitable for me.

:05:39. > :05:41.Hopefully, out of all the properties that we have got to

:05:41. > :05:45.visit today, we should find one that is suitable.

:05:45. > :05:49.Don't know what to do with that step. Might have to bump it over.

:05:49. > :05:52.Do you want to try to make sure you could do it if you lived here or do

:05:52. > :05:56.you want me to do it? Yep, I'm OK. There we go.

:05:56. > :05:59.To be fair, when I called the estate agent, they did tell me that

:05:59. > :06:02.there was a step to get into this property, but I am hoping that,

:06:02. > :06:09.once inside, the rest of the flat will be fine.

:06:09. > :06:13.Do not get stuck! But while the step at the front

:06:13. > :06:16.could have been sorted with a ramp, there is clearly not enough space

:06:16. > :06:19.for me to maneuver around the bathroom - and there are more steps

:06:19. > :06:22.inside the flat. I have more hope for the next

:06:22. > :06:24.property, as this one, the agent assured me over the phone, would be

:06:24. > :06:28.accessible and fine for a wheelchair user.

:06:28. > :06:35.There is a step. So the accessible flat comes with a

:06:35. > :06:37.step at the front. Great(!) Again, there is a step to get in,

:06:37. > :06:40.but it is not deterring our estate agent.

:06:40. > :06:50.And inside, the flat is also far too small for a wheelchair to move

:06:50. > :06:53.around in. The places I have seen so far have

:06:53. > :06:55.been disasters. But just when I thought things could not get any

:06:55. > :06:58.worse... I have just arrived at the next

:06:58. > :07:02.property, but I have realised that we have a bit of an access issue

:07:02. > :07:12.before we have even got there. I do not know if you can see these four

:07:12. > :07:21.

:07:21. > :07:24.steps by the roadside, which is That was not very dignified.

:07:24. > :07:27.Is it here?$$NEWLINE Again, when we booked this appointment, we made it

:07:27. > :07:35.clear that wheelchair access was a must and this estate agency told us

:07:35. > :07:38.this property was suitable. With three steps at the front, I

:07:38. > :07:48.expected this agent to give up straight away, but he seems keen to

:07:48. > :07:52.

:07:52. > :07:56.show me, anyway. It does have lift access inside.

:07:56. > :08:06.Great, inside lift access - which is obviously no use to me, as I can

:08:06. > :08:06.

:08:06. > :08:09.not get there in the first place. Even though I am clearly not going

:08:09. > :08:12.to get up there, the estate agent still thinks the lift inside will

:08:12. > :08:18.be helpful. Other than that, it does has lift

:08:18. > :08:21.access. Lift access, which actually is no

:08:22. > :08:26.use at all, anyway, as the flat is on the ground floor - after another

:08:26. > :08:29.step. Is this the flat?

:08:29. > :08:32.After some minutes, this estate agent is finally seeing sense.

:08:32. > :08:35.I do not think it will be suitable, is it?

:08:35. > :08:39.I am astonished at how bad that was. Even the agent was embarrassed.

:08:39. > :08:41.There were four big steps that I had to crawl up, which was pretty

:08:41. > :08:45.demeaning. All in all, it was as bad as it

:08:45. > :08:50.could have been and, if I had had to take time off work to see that,

:08:50. > :08:53.I would have been very cross indeed. Surely there must be a better way.

:08:53. > :08:55.There is already a successful scheme which lets you know if

:08:55. > :08:57.holiday accommodations are accessible. How difficult would it

:08:57. > :09:00.be to apply the scheme to the rental market?

:09:00. > :09:04.What we came up with is something we call the access statements,

:09:04. > :09:05.which is a way that proprietors and business owners can write a written

:09:06. > :09:07.description about their accessibility. We have one, for

:09:08. > :09:11.example, of self-catering accommodation, which will have a

:09:11. > :09:21.lot of transferability over to residential letting accommodation.

:09:21. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:25.This could easily be used by rental agents.

:09:25. > :09:35.I think that is a good idea, actually, but what I do not want to

:09:35. > :09:36.

:09:36. > :09:39.lose sight of is the responsibility of landlords and letting agents.

:09:39. > :09:49.The government needs to start to highlight some of these needs to

:09:49. > :10:00.

:10:00. > :10:05.the letting industry and landlords, in general, and they can do it.

:10:05. > :10:15.Back in Bath, I still have more properties to see.

:10:15. > :10:16.

:10:16. > :10:17.This pathway is perfect. Nice and wide! Maybe this is the one!

:10:17. > :10:20.Fingers crossed. Arms crossed!

:10:20. > :10:23.This property was indeed accessible. Altogether, we talked to 20 letting

:10:23. > :10:26.agents in Bath and arranged to see five properties. Out of the five,

:10:26. > :10:28.only one was appropriate. Personally, I think this is

:10:28. > :10:31.unacceptable. The agency who took us to the

:10:31. > :10:33.property with three steps outside the front door is a member of the

:10:33. > :10:36.Association of Residential Letting Agents, known as ARLA.

:10:36. > :10:40.ARLA say that, when using one of their letting agents, you can be

:10:40. > :10:43.sure you are dealing with an experienced and professional agent.

:10:43. > :10:48.So we asked them if it was acceptable for one of their members

:10:48. > :10:51.to book a viewing for a property which was clearly not appropriate.

:10:51. > :10:54.Even though we provided them with the details of our visit, they told

:10:54. > :10:57.us they could not comment, because they did not see the programme.

:10:57. > :11:02.They did say that their code of conduct states that members should

:11:02. > :11:05.not discriminate against disability. We also asked ARLA if they would

:11:05. > :11:07.consider using a similar scheme to the one already used to find out if

:11:07. > :11:17.holiday accommodations are accessible.

:11:17. > :11:24.

:11:24. > :11:27.They ignored that question. And what about Pheobe? Has she

:11:27. > :11:30.found the perfect flat in Bath? Well, I still have not found

:11:30. > :11:32.anywhere, so it is not brilliant. And so, in the meantime, what is

:11:32. > :11:36.the future holding for you at the moment?

:11:36. > :11:39.I am going to stay here, at my parents, cos it is a lovely place

:11:39. > :11:42.to live. Obviously, it would be nice to be be independent, but it

:11:42. > :11:44.is not worth living somewhere horrible or making my condition

:11:44. > :11:47.worse. It really should not be a complex

:11:47. > :11:50.problem to fix. What we need are small changes from all sides which

:11:50. > :11:57.will drastically improve the life chances of disabled people right

:11:57. > :12:01.across the country. The financial crisis facing many of

:12:01. > :12:04.our county councils is rarely out of the news at the moment. But one

:12:04. > :12:06.solution to the problem is proving to be particularly controversial.

:12:07. > :12:09.It involves selling off successful farms owned by the council, like

:12:09. > :12:17.this one just outside Ilminster, putting their tenant farmers out of

:12:17. > :12:20.business. We meet one of the Somerset farmers

:12:20. > :12:23.who is set to lose his farm, business and home.

:12:23. > :12:30.Dave, how did you feel when you first heard you would lose your

:12:30. > :12:33.farm? I was devastated, really. We are

:12:33. > :12:36.not in the business of running forms.

:12:36. > :12:46.And we visit Dorset, where the council takes a totally different

:12:46. > :12:46.

:12:46. > :12:49.approach. We need young people who are actively it involved in

:12:49. > :12:52.producing the food that we as a nation eat.

:12:53. > :12:55.The County Farm service dates back to 1908. In a bid to combat rural

:12:55. > :12:57.depopulation, councils bought farms and offered them for rent,

:12:58. > :13:01.providing opportunities for people who wanted to farm, but who could

:13:01. > :13:11.not afford a farm of their own. And so it has remained for a century,

:13:11. > :13:20.

:13:20. > :13:25.Recent surveys have shown that more than 60 % of the 25 top-ranking

:13:25. > :13:30.state schools are based on religion. Although opponents accept that many

:13:30. > :13:40.fake schools provide a very good academic education, they say it is

:13:40. > :13:43.

:13:43. > :13:48.not balanced. -- faith schools. Unless they are careful, they will

:13:48. > :13:58.not grow up into rounded children, rounded citizens who create harmony

:13:58. > :14:00.

:14:00. > :14:05.This high-school is linked to the Islamic Academy but the education

:14:05. > :14:08.is free. It's paid for by the state. Some of the children are here have

:14:08. > :14:14.friends from all religious backgrounds and their old school.

:14:14. > :14:22.Now, their classmates are almost all Muslim. Do they resented when

:14:22. > :14:26.their parents and send them to the school? Through the years, I've

:14:26. > :14:30.learnt to build my confidence with my religion and I can integrate

:14:30. > :14:34.into society with no problem whatsoever. I can go to university

:14:34. > :14:40.with an identity of being a Muslim girl. I thought I was going to miss

:14:41. > :14:45.out on everything else but now, I'm in Year 11, and I can see a got a

:14:45. > :14:50.great education. The teachers teach fantastically. Parents need choice

:14:50. > :14:54.and freedom. I'm a great believer in freedom and opportunity. The

:14:54. > :15:00.school provides an opportunity. If the demand was not there, faith

:15:00. > :15:06.schools would not flourish, as they are currently doing. I think choice

:15:06. > :15:09.is an over-used word in this country. Whilst I have nothing

:15:09. > :15:13.against teaching religion, which indeed they should, I don't think

:15:13. > :15:23.the state has any responsibility at all in providing funding for this

:15:23. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:31.We have clear links between these three ideals and the curriculum.

:15:31. > :15:38.Sikhs in Leicester want to open a new school next year. The school

:15:38. > :15:42.may provide them with a model for their plans. State schools are very

:15:42. > :15:46.big in terms of their classroom size. The schools are very large as

:15:47. > :15:55.well. We want to create a school where children are brought up like

:15:55. > :16:00.a family and the education will be outstanding. Are we ready for our

:16:00. > :16:04.new day? Chris spall is the head teacher here. He is a Kristian

:16:04. > :16:09.Foster piece says it is vital that all faith schools open their doors

:16:09. > :16:14.to all religions. It is a British school with a Hindu ethos. That

:16:14. > :16:19.ethos is inclusive in it that our admissions policy in fact states

:16:19. > :16:24.that we give the first 50 % of our places to all other faiths or none

:16:24. > :16:27.faiths. The last 50 % goes to Hindu faith. We've succeeded in a small

:16:27. > :16:37.way to begin with and we are expecting to improve on that in the

:16:37. > :16:38.

:16:38. > :16:46.future. Let's have our 32nd silence. Prime Minister David Cameron says

:16:46. > :16:53.state schools -- a fate schools provide more choice. -- faith

:16:53. > :16:59.schools. This boy is currently one of only two Christiane pupils at

:16:59. > :17:04.the school. We were overwhelmed by the ethos of the school hand

:17:04. > :17:10.despite being practising Christians, we thought it would be a perfect

:17:10. > :17:14.school for Oliver to attend. It doesn't really matter what colour

:17:14. > :17:20.our skin is or what our cultural beliefs are, one of the parents

:17:20. > :17:25.said in the playground to my husband, Howard both gods made both

:17:25. > :17:35.of us, we are had the same inside. And to be fair, that is the nicest

:17:35. > :17:36.

:17:36. > :17:44.thing. That sums up how we feel the For four more than 30 years, this

:17:44. > :17:54.man, has led a campaign to bring to face together. He believes the new

:17:54. > :17:58.wave free religious schools will lead to more division. Know the

:17:58. > :18:05.time has come for us to integrate with the mainstream, living along

:18:05. > :18:08.with others and showing respect to others. But if we are going to be

:18:09. > :18:13.exclusively operating within our own faith, within our own community,

:18:13. > :18:18.then I think the contribution to society as a whole is not going to

:18:18. > :18:23.be very beneficial. Religion has played a very important part about

:18:23. > :18:27.the history of education in this country especially. I think that is

:18:28. > :18:32.a very, very good value. I believe we can still hold on to it. We

:18:32. > :18:37.don't need to compromise in dealing with other faiths, religions or

:18:37. > :18:40.other schools. The government is keen to fund more faith schools and

:18:41. > :18:44.is hoping the expansion of academies, free from local

:18:44. > :18:54.authority control, will drive up standards. But opponents are asking,

:18:54. > :18:57.

:18:57. > :19:01.will this be at the expense of a Finally, why Remembrance Day has

:19:01. > :19:06.even more meaning for a group of war veterans who have waited 67

:20:10. > :20:17.land is quite a good idea really. Why sell the only thing that makes

:20:17. > :20:23.you money. They can only said it wants. They will be wanting money

:20:23. > :20:33.for something else then. If they sell off the farm, it is very

:20:56. > :21:01.United States of America as the Flybe itself. It's a wonderful tune,

:21:01. > :21:05.a fantastic tune. So much better than our national anthem, even

:21:05. > :21:09.though I say it myself. But what of the man who wrote it? Tucked away

:21:55. > :22:00.Cathedral. John Stafford Smith spent his early he is here. --

:22:00. > :22:03.years. Here we have his records of his admission to the Cathedral

:22:03. > :22:08.School. He would have been taught in this very room by his father.

:22:08. > :22:13.Later, we can see he was a cathedral chorister, being paid �5

:22:13. > :22:19.a year. In modern terms, that could be about �1,000, not bad for an 11

:22:19. > :22:24.year-old. Stafford Smith was an exceptional talent and before his

:22:24. > :22:33.12th birthday, he was packed off to join the the country's elite

:22:33. > :22:38.choristers at the Chapel Royal in London. He sang for George III. But

:22:38. > :22:42.it is his musical activity outside work that I am most interested in.

:22:42. > :22:47.It was the late 17 hundreds and gentlemen's clubs were popping up

:22:47. > :22:56.all across London. One such club was on the Strand, just a few doors

:22:56. > :23:05.down from this pub. It was called after a Greek poet, notable for his

:23:05. > :23:10.drinking songs. The society would meet, eat, drink and perform short

:23:10. > :23:17.songs. Then they would drink a whole lot more and carry on singing

:23:17. > :23:24.into the early hours of the morning. Now in his twenties, John Stafford

:23:25. > :23:29.Smith, himself a number of the club, composed its official anthem. It

:23:29. > :23:33.was set to words by the society's president. It is that eighteenth-

:23:33. > :23:39.century gentleman's drinking song that I believe was the basis of the

:23:39. > :23:42.star-spangled Banner. I have heard the British Library might hold one

:23:42. > :23:49.of the original manuscript so why have come to meet the curator of

:23:49. > :23:52.the sick. Richard, this is it, the song. If indeed. You can see the

:23:52. > :23:57.melody very clearly here with the words beneath it and the baseline.

:23:57. > :24:03.He to is what I've been handing out. What date is this edition? This

:24:03. > :24:10.edition is about 1785. This must be the oldest surviving... One of the

:24:10. > :24:13.earliest editions. Is this actually the tune? Yes, it is slightly

:24:13. > :24:16.different in a few of the melodic details and the harmony underneath

:24:16. > :24:21.is the same. The rhythms will be slightly different because there

:24:21. > :24:26.was a different. Extraordinary. What I would really like to do is,

:24:26. > :24:30.would you let me have a digital copy? Yes, we can let you have

:24:30. > :24:37.copies. Let's get a choir to try singing it. Let's find out what it

:24:37. > :24:40.actually sounds like. Great. have sent the song off to Stafford

:24:40. > :24:50.Smith's old school at Gloucester Cathedral, now known as the King's

:24:50. > :25:02.

:25:03. > :25:07.Well, it is unmistakably the right song but somehow, rather old-

:25:07. > :25:17.fashioned and a bit church like. Clearly, more than just the words

:25:17. > :25:18.

:25:18. > :25:24.changed when the chop -- when the song travel to America. To find out,

:25:24. > :25:30.I've come to talk to the Professor of Music at Bristol University. So,

:25:30. > :25:36.how did a popular drinking song in England make its way to America?

:25:36. > :25:43.those days, they drank in America as well. Songs were international

:25:43. > :25:50.commodities. Americans wanted to follow fashion as well. In America,

:25:50. > :25:54.the popularity of Stafford Smith's us song exploded. As many as 85 new

:25:55. > :26:01.sets were written and the tune was beginning to change as well. He is

:26:01. > :26:06.one. It's a Boston patriotic song of 1798. What they've done is added

:26:06. > :26:12.a dotted rhythm which found that -- which sounds military and therefore

:26:12. > :26:22.militant, which is what we recognise from the modern version.

:26:22. > :26:27.It still has the Church second phrase. -- church like. In 1812, an

:26:27. > :26:33.American lawyer, Francis Scott Key, witnessed the British naval

:26:34. > :26:41.bombardment in bottom. He observed how the morning after the onslaught,

:26:41. > :26:45.the fort and its star-spangled Banner was still standing. He was

:26:45. > :26:54.inspired to write a poem and he suggested setting it to the tune of

:26:54. > :27:04.Stafford Smith's song. This changes a little bit again and there is one

:27:04. > :27:06.

:27:06. > :27:16.interesting thing in here. Now we have the air for the shop. -- the F

:27:16. > :27:20.sharp. It gives us the sense of our boys will swelling. Throughout the

:27:20. > :27:25.19th century, the anthem was performed on the stages of

:27:25. > :27:31.Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. It grew into a favourite

:27:31. > :27:37.patriotic song. It was finally made the official national anthem in

:27:37. > :27:42.1931. So, it is the man who composed the tune given the

:27:42. > :27:45.veneration he deserves? Sadly, I think the answer is No. We don't

:27:45. > :27:50.really know who -- who he was and what he did in this regard. But

:27:50. > :27:55.what he is remembered for subliminally, is that it is a

:27:55. > :27:59.wonderful tune. Americans thank him for that because it is the right

:27:59. > :28:03.kind of June for singing at the top of your voice when you have a

:28:03. > :28:06.maximum confidence. It's an extraordinarily difficult due to

:28:06. > :28:14.sing but when you are in the right mood, whether or not plied with

:28:14. > :28:20.alcohol, you can't make the most of it and Stafford Smith had written

:28:20. > :28:24.with that in mind right from the start.

:28:24. > :28:28.Well, that's just about it for this week. If you would like to keep in

:28:28. > :28:38.touch with what we are up to, you can find a song Twitter or you can
