Last Nights Britains Got Talent.

What a disgusting act by diversity at the end. Must have choreographied by BLM.

A re enactment of the George Floyd incident. with a policeman kneeling on his neck.

It is supposed to be entertaining, not a platform for BLM.

Should neve3r have ben allowed.

[iluvmargie]

Really, wow. I've recorded it so haven't seen it yet. Thanks for the heads up, I won't be watching that!

[mallyh]

mr mally and myself couldn't believe they did this on a family show .

[theshedman]

We did think that there were a couple of good acts on though but like you didn't think this was the time or place for a BLM protest.

[Bobbisox1]

I switched it over at that point a Sparklykid , sick of having BLM shoved down my throat same as SOS Kids , yes they were cute and Greta Thunberg would be so proud of them singing about saving the planet , political statements should not be entered into BGT

[Arksided]

I stopped watching it, thinking its out of order and I do like Diversity since they first appeared on the show.

[SparklyKid]

Phew, glad it's not just me then.

[ummmm]

What has it being a family show got to do with anything?

The George Floyd incident was plastered all over the news 24/7

I didn't watch it anyway. I might do now.

[naomi24]

Really? I switched off shortly after the programme began - and I'm rather pleased I did now.

[mallyh]

it's suppose to be an entertainment show and that wasn't entertaining at all ,very wrong of to include BLM in a dance .

[naomi24]

Politics and crusades should be kept out of entertainment. Last year’s Last Night of the Proms had the soloist waving the Rainbow flag instead of the national flag. Absolutely wrong.

[Bobbisox1]

They look for a platform to push their ideals at you , the organisers are to blame for allowing political statements to creep into what is classed as entertainment

[iluvmargie]

It's the norm now though isn't it - every damn thing has to be political? I used to love Ashley Banjo, but he's just another one jumping on the BLM wagon.

[Bobbisox1]

I did too ILM, if there were less 'ideals' and people pushing them 24/7 ,the country would be a nicer place to live in

[chelle7272]

Seriously?
Politics has always been in entertainment.
Never read or seen a book, poem, play, film, song or comedy involving politics? Of course you have.
Don't like it, don't watch, that's fine, but moaning that politics has no place in entertainment is just ridiculous.
I don't watch BGT but just watched Diversity's performance because of this thread. It was very good.
Hamilton is one of the best musicals I have ever seen, and that has had a lot of political impact.
Don;t like ti won;t watch, but what is the point in mopning about it?

[iluvmargie]

Indeed it would Bobbi.

[iluvmargie]

I've already said chelle, I'm NOT going to watch and I should imagine those that did last night didn't know about the carp that was to come!

[margarettom]

The problem is they all live in a media bubble where everyone thinks the same and they don't realise they might be offending some people out there in ordinary land.

[Bobbisox1]

Chelle,I watched it then switched it over as I said earlier,why? Because I'm fed up with hearing about BLM etc, my Saturday nights I'd like good old fashioned entertainment , I'm pleased you enjoyed it though because that was your choice

[SparklyKid]

I must admit I swore uncontrollably during the so called performance.

I like being entertained as an escape from covid, BLM and the like.

Hi Bobbs, spot on about SOS.

[Bobbisox1]

I think you've nailed it Sparklykid, we want escapism from what's now tedious claptrap everyday
