If you’re more disturbed by the rioting in Belfast last night than you are by the fact that an immigrant tried to behead someone on the streets you’re part of the problem.
Huge congratulations to the people of Great Yarmouth, to the candidates for being bold and to all the volunteers, organisers and poster putter-uppers.
And of course, a curtsy to our future PROPER British Prime Minister @RupertLowe10
A terrorist randomly stabbing people in London but people are more concerned that the police are booting him in the head to get the knife off him 😭 fucking divs everywhere
Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless.
This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.
We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
Welcome to the era of state approved concerts. Thank you Keir Starmer for taking our right to choose what we feel like listening to and supporting, and for punishing a man with a mental condition for his episodes. Authoritatian scum
Genuine question to those who want Kanye banned from the UK
What makes YOU the arbiter of what OTHER people choose to hear?
Why do you think you get to decide for others?
Want to go: buy a ticket
Don’t want to go: Don’t
Genuine answers only please.
You can fuck off anaw!
We get it, being black in the US hasn’t been great.
A guy from a Scottish scheme born with a condition thats seen him beaten half to death with crowbars meets more intersections of oppression than most!
You don’t have a fucking monopoly on oppression!
I’m dealing with a family emergency, so I won’t be doing broadcast interviews on the John Davidson Tourette’s tic at the BAFTAs story.
Hearing the N word shouted at two of the most successful black actors in the world, on stage at the BAFTAs and broadcast on the BBC, was horrible. It made people uncomfortable. It should have. But it was an involuntary tic from someone who lives with Tourette’s syndrome. It was not chosen. It was not intentional. It was not an expression of belief.
What’s astonishing is watching people who constantly lecture the public about inclusion suddenly abandon it the moment it becomes complicated. The same voices that demand respect for lived experience are now acting as if a neurodivergent man consciously decided to shout a slur for sport.
Tourette’s is a neurological condition. It is not a political statement. It is not a moral failing. You cannot preach DEI and then punish someone for symptoms of their neurodivergence.
Even the Royal Household has previously understood Davidson’s condition. Not even the late Queen was immune to his tics he said “F*ck the Queen” TO HER FACE. If that reality can be accepted there, it should not be beyond the rest of us.
Two things can be true at once. The word is abhorrent. The tic was involuntary. If your commitment to inclusion collapses when it involves neurodivergence, then it was never inclusion in the first place.
So a man invited to the BAFTA’s as inspiration for a film demonstrating the horrific hostility and lack of understanding people with Tourette’s face… is now facing horrific hostility and a lack of understanding over his Tourette’s?
Have I got that right? 🤦
@Variety Seems that woke ideology doesn't extend to disabilities. Perhaps it just isn't trendy enough yet to care about disabled people. People can shove their faux outrage at this where the sun don't shine. John Davidson has done more for humanity than anyone criticising him ever will.
@sophielouisecc where can you get a new bmw with ADHD?? sign me up cause my finance is extortionate. If it’s pip then that’s shite cause people with adhd don’t tend to score for mobility part so no free car
As a mother, Southport will never leave my mind. An African man stabbed these little girls to death at their dance class; one was stabbed 122 times, and one 85 times.
I can’t tolerate people who still aren’t critical of immigration, as it means enabling crimes like this.
