The beautiful game does it again. Scenes in Boston have been unbelievable as Scots & Americans unite, including a viral friendship formed after a shocking bagpipe wake up call in suburban Boston. The joy of Tartan Army is a great example for us all. ❤️⚽️

This is ridiculous. Starmer didn't "pick a fight". He refused to join a war started without consulting Britain by a foreign power that hits us with tariffs, insults our troops and threatens our allies in Ukraine and Denmark

@wizardofwidgets @_urse_ @GraceRandolph The only clear and present danger to the world is you abileist, uneducated Americans fuds.

@SaraJane101 @supertolerant There is no cure!! Some treatment helps some people "reduce" symptoms and stress worsens symptoms for all sufferers. In the UK we have free healthcare and access for all. Watch I Swear and see the reality of "treatments"

I keep hearing that Americans aren’t aware of Tourette’s.

Not convinced.

I remembered seeing an episode of LA Law about Tourette’s and I managed to find it. This is from 1991. So 25 years ago.

Interestingly it uses the “n word” and the explains that the person can’t help it.

The last 48hrs on here has reminded me just how proud I am to be Scottish! Every Scot banding together to stand up for a true Scottish hero with tourettes gives me goosebumps #Iswear #johndavidson

[Granite Man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @GraniteDhuine]

I'm Scottish and I don't have Tourette's. So if I call you a cunt it's because you're a cunt.

@jaytsuke @BradfemlyWalsh He should try being a psych nurse 😂😂 I've been called so many slurs Id be sat at home with my feet up till I retire if I applied his logic!

You know lads, I'm not entirely sure that a white, Scottish, community centre caretaker with a profound disability, living in one of the poorest areas of the UK, IS actually more privileged than two famous, perfectly healthy, African American
millionaire celebrities.

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.

[Poppy Crave @poppycravee]

Biggest point of ‘I Swear’ inspired by John Davidson, that goes viral was this scene, for a reason. It's trying to normalize tourettes and explain to people that they can't control it. Forcing a person who has tourettes to apologize for every single thing is hell, shame on you.

[𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐁 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @_DIGB]

In fairness the yanks discovering Tourette’s syndrome is a step in the right direction

Just wait until they discover gun control and not electing paedophiles as their president
