      Why is this being given so much airtime?

      Everybody needs to get a fucking grip. The state of the world right now and the media are focusing on a word being spoken on TV, Jesus Christ.

      The average person doesn’t give a toss about this overblown event. Media making it huge, LBC was talking about it non-stop.

      Get over yourself and discuss some real news, ffs.

      This whole situation feels like the script of a lost South Park episode.

      I was on the fence with this thinking storm in teacup, but they essentially put a hot mic infront of him, from this article.

      He even felt the need to exclude himself and leave as couldn’t stop.. A love microphone in front of someone with involuntary tics. Wow

      Sorry for this guy and obviously anyone who felt the pain of such words being broadcast, and re broadcast.. 

      Seems there was a massive over sight at BBC.. Or trump has negotiated the terms of his suing campaign to include payment on the form of random distractions and societal divisions at a whim..? 

      On that note. Remember epstein and all the pedo elites they want you to forget.. Just like the Panama papers.. And the paradise ones? I forget.. So many things brushed under the carpet and lost from public consciousness..

      The BAFTAs and BBC had a duty of care to Michael, Delroy and John and they somehow managed to fail all 3. Horrendous.

      BBC News falling over itself to be impartial by being the biggest source of stories criticising the BBC as usual.

      People should work harder to shut up and stop moaning about **** all. Context IS important, it might not be to right wing fools or ignorant morons but in reality it is and the manipulation of reality by leaving out context is partly why the world is so ****ed at the moment.

      Man with Tourette’s involuntarily says a bad word.

      Such a non story

    10. pretty_pink_opossum on

      I feel like there’s an alternative timeline in which the big controversy is they had edited out all his outbursts.

      So you had disability campaigners complaining they were erasing his tourettes / erasing disabled people.

      Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.

      the narratives around this are so fucking forced. Boring

    12. Sutty100 on

      BBC News always love to lay it on with a spade when it’s criticism about themselves. Presumably in part to stop the daily mail slagging them off for not criticising themselves enough. I think several days reporting on this is more than enough

      Studio Canal asked the BBC to make appropriate provisions for John and edit out any swearing. The BBC then stuck a live microphone in front of John during the ceremony.

      Then, when John had his swearing tic in front of the presenters, Warner Brothers asked the BBC to edit out the profanities on behalf of the presenters. The BBC said they would do so and they didn’t.

      See a theme?

      The BBC and BAFTA’s either have some deeply obtuse people working for them, or even worse, they did this on purpose – turning John into a sideshow and making a sensation of putting the presenters on the spot. Maybe for cheap publicity and replay.

    14. Oldsoldierbear on

      Hmmmm – as the BBC were extensively briefed about John and his condition, but still managed to fail him and subject him to international scorn, could it be said that they failed in their duty of care?

      Ive been subjected to racial abuse: I know how it feels. But this was outwith John’s control and it demonstrates precisely what he has been campaigning for – greater awareness and understanding.

      my heart goes out to him and I hope he is ok.

      They should have.

      It was in their power to prevent. All this does is create stigma and highlight insensitivity

    16. highlandviper on

      Disagree. It’s arguably created more awareness about Tourette’s than anything else other than South Park in the past 30 years. Shit happens. Explain it. Everyone understands (or chooses not to). More people develop some empathy (hopefully). The people who get outraged are shown to lack empathy (as per usual). What’s wrong with that?

    17. Warm-Attempt7773 on

      They sure have stopped support for Palestine from being aired 

    18. Flat_Scene9920 on

      I would like to clarify that whenever I see another headline on this and shout “fuck!”, it is not because I have Tourette’s…

    19. Barraco_Barmer on

      Why was he at a televised event if he’s such a liability 

    20. seeitshaveitsorted on

      He was in the audience and there’s more shit going on behind the scenes than people think. It’s not as if he’s on stage giving a speech that’s too long, as the ‘Free Palestine’ people were.

      It happens. It’s really not a big deal and the only reason why people think it is, is because the black community allow this word to become their trigger point.

      Tbh, it’s fairly funny. Whenever I’ve spoken to people out and about they’ve found it funny because of the taboo nature – and they understand it’s unacceptable but that’s part of Tourette’s.

      Getting mad about this is like getting mad about a blind person spilling a drink on you.

      You’re initially annoyed, frustrated angry – but ultimately you recognise that it’s not their fault.

    21. dont_press_report on

      Especially considering they worked so hard getting rid of the free Palestine chant

      The people that still pay for the BBC are the ones to blame.

    22. uncle_monty on

      They left it in deliberately because they knew it would do more than anything else to get people talking.

    23. No_Story5313 on

      It made the Baftas relevant to normal people for once.

      In terms of back slapping awards events, it was the most entertaining moment since Will Smith slapped that guy at the Oscars

    24. ArcherVisible5866 on

      There’s no amount of explaining can be done to people that don’t have the emotional intelligence to handle it. They’re not truly outraged, they just hate him and don’t want to understand. He shouldn’t ever flinched first apologising for his disability. He let them win.
