Diversity On Britain's Got Talent On Saturday

[iluvmargie]

Just heard on the radio news that there are now more than 10,000 complaints about their dance on Saturday night - Wow ! What do abers think?

The stupidity consequences of a foolish moment.

david small - // The stupidity consequences of a foolish moment. //

This routine will have been conceived, developed, rehearsed within an inch of its life, recorded several times, edited, produced, and then aired on national television.

That's one seriously long 'moment'!!!

[david small]

Ah. there ain’t no length so long as the foolish won’t travel.

I think Mr Banjo and the show's producers misjudged the appropriateness of their platform, that makes them prone to mis-judgement, it does not make them fookish.

[Mozz71]

Just a thought, but I wonder why ITV are avoiding the anger here? If it had been on the Beeb, folk would've been frothing at the mouth at them.

[Theland]

That's a fair point Mozz.
I suppose we have no choice bit to pay for Aunty so expect more balance.

[Mozz71]

Maybe Theland.

[HansUrbancka]

The number of complaints keep rising :-

Good. I love it when the silent majority speak.

[Peter Pedant]

oh god does anyone mind if I point out that if the silent majority are speaking then ....
they arent silent ?

jesus - take your eye off the screen
and the non sequiturs come crowding back
howling and baying for attention.
The nonsense shouting "Look at me everyone! and learn"

and yes Hans I was gonna say - dont feel bad.
Whole threads go before the firing squad for random offences or none. And nonsense gets praised , admired and even imitated by the average ABer. such is life

[Spicerack]

I wish people would stop saying Floyd was unlawfully killed.
He swallowed his stash of Fentanyl and had a heart attack

[Barsel]

What ( if anything can be done) if the complaints reach record levels? Will someone get fined?

[naomi24]

Doubt it. Barsel - but it might make them think twice before they allow anyone to promote their dubious politics on a light entertainment programme in future. I hope so.

[iluvmargie]

Indeed, so do I.

Well said spicey.

That has to be the most pointless petition I've ever seen!

[Spicerack]

Did you miss the one to remain in the EU?

[lankeela]

Nice one Spice!

//Right wing racist social media groups have been encouraging their members to complain to Ofcom//

Nothing political about it. Just art. :o/
