When I posted this, I did not fully understand the context of what I was posting. Now I do, and yeah… definitely not a good look.

Video probably could have been shorter than 24min if he didn’t go into the history of the BAFTA and the films being awarded.

John isn’t the one who gave the bad apology, that was the event organisers. John doesn’t owe the world a public apology, he owes the MCs a private apology, and he probably gave it. The BAFTA owe the world a public apology, and a better one than they have.

John doesn’t even owe a private apology, yet he has made one. His attendance was solely on the understanding that as his biopic was nominated, he would be in an understanding environment. BAFTA failed him, and if they didn’t brief those on stage adequately they failed them too.

No, I do not. I have spastic hemiplegia, along with 7 other various neurological issues. For the past 35 years, I’m in pain every single second of every day. Literally EVERYTHING is made much more difficult because I only have the use of one arm. I definitely do not wish for disabled people to not exist, because I know how hard it is to live with a disability in the first place.

Fair play. At least some good came of this.

Replace his face with the BAFTA icon.
They had edited out the phrase “Free Palestine” from an acceptance speech but they left the slurs in initially. And they don’t even have tourettes.
