My comments on a Talk TV phone-in earlier today were phrased poorly and I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused, which was not my intention.
The point I was making is that many British TV adverts have gone DEI mad and are now unrepresentative of British society as a whole. This is not an attack on any group but an observation about balance and fairness in how our country is portrayed on screen.
A study commissioned by Channel 4 as part of its Mirror on the Industry project, found that Black people were featured in more than half of adverts in 2022, up sharply from 37 per cent in 2020 following the Black Lives Matter movement. By contrast, Black people make up around 4 per cent of the population in England and Wales, according to the 2021 Census.
Representation in advertising should reflect the diversity of modern Britain, but it should also be proportionate and inclusive of everyone. My comments were made in that context, and I stand by the principle that equality should mean fairness for all.
Every time I come back to this platform, it presents as more and more of an echo chamber of swivel eyed loons, and the occasional corporate account attempting normal comms. #theGogglesDoNothing

Are you a dense twat or don't you care about the misinformation spread
Who gave the order for 5 armed police officers to meet him at the airport? Whoever did must be disciplined . What is our country coming to when tweets can be met with such over reaction whilst robberies and rapes get ignored.?
People have never been more emboldened to reveal that theyβre as thick as shit.
An alarming amount of people truly are deeply fucking stupid.
Itβs depressing.
Dinghies coming into Great Yarmouth, RIGHT NOW.
Authorities alerted, and I am urgently chasing.
If these are illegal migrants, I will be using every tool at my disposal to ensure these individuals are deported.
Enough is enough. Britain needs mass deportations. NOW.
Hereβs one for you Nigel. If you had told the truth the role says this:
βNearly all cases dealt with by these councils relate to religious marriage or divorce, with most of the rest being financial disputes. Sharia councils cannot address criminal cases so are not a parallel legal system.β
