It’s the law that they’re cunts in every one of them

“That is workplace law”

Ha ha… no it fucking isn’t

Called out @justmethe.bsky.social

Keep digging you embarrassing hypocrite

And popped a mic in front of him at his seat…

🤣

This is just so craven and unfair to Jordan/Lindo/Baechler and Davidson. I don’t understand or I guess I do understand just how toxic racism is. It is just so depressing.

failed multiple marginalized groups at once.

Genuinely wondering why the bbc placed a mic in front of JD in the audience… ? 👀

But also - if you’re going to use institutional failings as an excuse to pile into John Davidson without understanding the neurological context, I will call that ignorance and prejudice out every single fucking time.

None of this is ok

Clear, direct apologies are owed to the men targeted - and to everyone affected by hearing it broadcast globally.

THIS is the priority

Two Black men were racially abused at the BAFTAs. On a world stage. The impact of that is massive. Fact.

There should be serious, public questions for the media institutions involved - about their intent, preparation, their safeguards, and how this was handled in the moment and afterwards.

I am often triggered by what I see and/or what I hear, and this part of the condition is called echolalia. For example, when the chair of BAFTA started speaking on Sunday, I shouted, "Boring." On Sunday, Alan Cumming joked about his own sexuality and, when referencing Paddington Bear, said, "Maybe you would like to come home with me, Paddington. It wouldn't be the first time I have taken a hairy Peruvian bear home with me." This resulted in homophobic tics from me and led to a shout of "pedophile" that was likely triggered because Paddington Bear is a children's character.

I would appreciate reports of the event explaining that I ticked perhaps 10 different offensive words on the night of the awards. The N-word was one of these, and I completely understand its significance in history and in the modern world, but most articles are giving the impression I shouted one single slur on Sunday.

StudioCanal were working closely with BAFTA, and BAFTA had made us all aware that any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast. I have made four documentaries with the BBC in the past, and feel that they should have been aware of what to expect from Tourette's and worked harder to prevent anything that I said - which, after all, was some 40 rows back from the stage - from being included in the broadcast.

As I reflect on the auditorium, I remember there was a microphone just in front of me, and with hindsight I have to question whether this was wise, so close to where I was seated, knowing I would tic.

okay what the fuck was the BBC doing with that broadcast? because at this point it could be mistaken for intentional… variety.com/2026/film/aw...

This was a racist slur, broadcast on a world stage. That should have been dealt with immediately and properly. There must be serious questions for the institutions involved - and clear, direct apologies to the individuals targeted and to all those affected.

‘a’ spoonful!?

No such thing and you know it

Imagine thinking that Tourette’s or coprolalia are a mental illness and then displaying your prejudice and ignorance to everyone

Grow up. Read a book.

And that’s just a strawman…

I’m not claiming there’s no racism in Britain.

And coprolalia is about involuntary vocal tics, not etymology. That distinction matters.

The BBC’s choice to air it is an editorial question …a separate one.

You’re reframing this.

The pushback wasn’t about suggesting a bleep. It was about comparing Tourette’s to incontinence and generalising about Brits and racism.

That’s what people responded to.

@hottycouture.bsky.social You could have just continued the discussion and held your hands up instead of deleting what you said and then blocking everyone tho eh?

Are you just blocking everyone that disagrees with you rather than discussing and reinforcing your point?

Fungi growing in a woodland, it looks remarkably like zombie fingers reaching up from the ground

When in the woods, best beware of dead man's fingers lurking there.
Reaching up above the ground, a creepy fungi to be found.

Happy Halloween everyone.

Chippy lunch with a view…

Having your first mince pie is the winter equivalent of having your first wee on a night out

This is refreshing. Well worth a couple of minutes of your time.

Joy. That's what is missing way too often from the current discourse on learning and education. I don't mean being overtly happy all the time, nor having endless fun at school (as if!), but an underlying belief that learning can be a joyful, engaging process, not just stuffing more into your memory.
