Literally calling for disabled people to be segregated and erased from public life to spare the inconvenience of being offended by them. Allison probably thinks she's a good person.

Calling Black men the n-word is racism. If John has coprolalia and can’t control the slurs he says, he should watch from a separate area, not in the main audience where Black people are exposed to slurs

This is a really good litmus test for what people actually think about neurodivergence. Are you supportive when it is challenging? Or just when it is easy for you?
I feel so badly for everyone involved in this. People with tourette's say a lot of things they don't believe in.

BAFTAs host Alan Cumming delivered a message after the ceremony was interrupted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson yelling the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage: “You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience” Cumming later said he was sorry if anyone was offended and that “the tics are involuntary” (via Deadline)

If you watch I Swear you’ll see there was a moment on John Davidson’s life where he was beaten after he involuntarily called a young woman a slut.
Not all tics are the same. They don’t always happen. The borderline witch hunt towards him is crazy.

#BAFTAFilmAwards host Alan Cumming thanked the audience for their “understanding” after a series of audible outbursts from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson interrupted the ceremony. • One incident saw Davidson shout the n-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. • Davidson, the inspiration for BAFTA-nominated “I Swear,” was diagnosed with Tourette’s at 25. His symptoms include tics and involuntary outbursts. • “You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience,” Cumming told the audience. wp.me/pc8uak-1lGWhl

Yes! This man has been faking a disability for 54 years just so he can occasionally shout slurs!
The ableism is rife and vile tonight.

According to Google, Tourette syndrome can include involuntary verbal tics like shouting obscene, racial or taboo words, known as coprolalia. These are neurological, not intentional, and only affect about 10 to 30% of people with TS. That said, it’s hard not to question when a “diagnosis” is being used as a crutch to excuse blatant racism. Michael and Delroy deserve public apologies, not the audience.

just when you think labour can’t sink any lower in their desperate scramble to claw back plummeting support, some knuckle dragging mp decides to not only brazenly lie, but to weaponise rape to score a political point. shameful.

I’m utterly disgusted that the Green Party want to legalise GHB, the drug used to spike - to rape! Seriously, this lot should be no where near Parliament.

These boys must walk around all day absolutely obsessing over race and deporting even half-English people. A miserable existence.

Why on earth does (non Jewish) @iaindale think he is a spokesman for Jewish people in order to tell a Jewish man what he thinks Jewish people think? Absolutely bonkers.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
Iain Dale: "We've been talking about this for 9 minutes. You haven't said a single thing that would convince any Jewish person listening to this program they should vote for you" Wait till Iain discovers that there are lots of antizionist Jews! (3/4)

There it is. So arresting all those little old ladies for protesting genocide was, as predicted, a complete and utter waste of everyone's time.
