BYE!

[Zacs-Master]

Not gone quietly tho have they.
'Don’t ask me to explain that'

No fears there, pal.

[douglas9401]

Does "oddly peripheral" mean "edgy"?

[Zacs-Master]

Who knows. I don't speak 'repressed thespian'

[naomi24]

Marvellous!

[Spicerack]

I think it means boo-hoo.

[Zacs-Master]

I'm sure there will be another bunch of tight wearing luvvies literally waiting in the wings to take over.

The fantastic Mr Fox takes on the diversity gestapo and wins. Good.

I think they are just acting.

[emmie]

good to see they have flounced..

[Togo]

Haha I see that the Daleks have all given up their equity membership, a spokesman said(in that funny voice) "This was the last straw after making us accept a female Dr Who".

[jourdain2]

Jolly good!

[Peter Pedant]

oddly peripheral
means that the cttee thought it should have been included / consulted but was excluded ( made peripheral ) in a way they cdnt understand

I go for free speech but Equity should have realised that replying as a person and not an org with affilations was a mistake
It seems they did - and the woke minority stirred and woke up .....

..// I think they are just acting//

ahhhhh sincerity - once you have learnt to fake that
your career is made

[New Judge]

///However, all members of the committee – now known as Equity’s Race Equality Committee – have resigned en masse, including chair Daniel York Loh. The committee also included Irvine Iqbal, Jassa Ahluwalia, Miriam Babooram, Rebecca Boey, Julie Cheung-Inhin, Matt Lim, Debra Tidd and Nana St Bartholomew-Brown.///

Not sort of..er...A-Listers then.

For what it's worth I saw Mr Fox on QT (I rarely watch it these days but happened to catch a glimpse). He was absolutely right to defend himself. He was accused of being racist purely on the basis that he was white. Hardly a convincing argument and his accuser didn't like it when her nonsense was exposed.

[Spicerack]

Accused by an audience member who worked for the BBC.

An audience member who works for the BBC? Really Spicy?

[cassa333]

There are plenty of actors who are a disgrace to the industry but they get a free ride because they are on the liberal left.

Quite hard to find, LB. Part of the Silicon Valley scorched earth policy.

[douglas9401]

She scrubs up well for breakfast telly though.

Wow thank you Spicy, very interesting. Just read two or three articles and I'll keep the link for future reference. xx
