Saying “Tourette’s is not an excuse to say bad things”
Is like saying “dementia is not an excuse to forget things”
Or “being deaf isn’t an excuse not hear things”
Or “being blind isn’t an excuse to not see things”
Or that “being dyslexic is not an excuse to not be able to read things”
One of the actors from I Swear, a film about the life of Tourette’s sufferer John Davidson, has come out in support of him following the BAFTAs controversy. The film is based on Davidson’s life, and he also appears in it.
At the ceremony, Davidson was heard shouting several profanities, including a derogatory term aimed at Black people, as a result of his condition.
His co-star stressed that Tourette’s is a neurological disorder people have no control over and that John had every right to attend the BAFTAs.
My thoughts are with John Davidson today, Tourettes sufferer and campaigner. He's worked hard to raise awareness of a condition that makes people shout horrible things.
It happened to him last night. At the BAFTA's.
And he's actually being condemned as a racist.
By idiots.

Nigel Farage, has proposed a mass deportation plan called "Operation Restoring Justice," which includes creating a "UK Deportation Command" modelled on the U.S. ICE.
Don't vote Reform unless you want innocent blood on UK streets like we see in the USA.
What kind of disgusting human says this when someone dies???!
A husband and wife were murdered and this fucker blames their death on politics while their families are grieving.
Rest in peace to Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.🙏🏼
