OT James Bond

Lol...so predictable, I’d have put money on you bringing the ‘snowflake’ comment out in response.

Taking the p*ss? Hmmm...just happens to be all your favourite causes...pure coincidence.

It was taking the piss sarcasm.
But you get butt hurt immediately. GP got it, but you went out to try and explain it away.
Ultimately you can't . It is another example of WOKE warping stories/characters/ history.
I actually do find it funny, hence the piss take. But the fact remains, it is going on in every corner.

Seeing as you want to bring politicising into it.
What's your take on the Diversity dance performance on BGT?

You really need to read the whole thread.
I agreed with GP’s original suggestion...but it doesn’t actually appear to be true.

That’s the point, and I wasn’t the one ‘politicising’ it or suggesting ‘it is going on in every corner’.

As for ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. Never watched it, know nothing about it and the Rugby League is on so I’m not about to start now.

I didn't expect you to have. Which was why I gave you the whole story.
What's your take of a national tv family show, allowing a dance troop, to make a political statement, that causes controversy?
It is exactly on par with what this thread is on about.
Don't run away.

Great game.

Run away? Don’t be ridiculous, and the thread is about who’s going to play James Bond isn’t it?
How can I have a ‘take’ on a performance I haven’t seen on a programme I’ve never seen?
If you’re asking me if there’s room for controversy on a ‘national TV family show’...of course there is...programmes from ‘Z Cars’ to ‘Grangehill’ and ‘East Enders’ to ‘Coronation Street’ have demonstrated that for years.
If you’re asking me about a specific programme I’ve never seen with people in it I’ve never heard of...how am I meant to answer that?

I think this issue really belongs in the media bias thread and yes it was overly political IMO. There have been thousands of complaints to Ofcom about it, but more important to ITV will be whether viewers switched off/over, as they sell BGT advertising at a premium, I have a friend (who works for BBC!) who will be across these numbers which I'll ask him to provide. Weirdly BBC website reports clearly on the Ofcom complaints, but Radio Times says nothing and focuses on what a fantastic success the routine was...
