@restartracing22 Huge thanks to @restartracing22 for having me in their hospitality at brands. The whole team was so accommodating, especially Tracy. Great talk from @Daniellloyd23 to start the day off. For me it was a dream come true.

A Devon theatre has cancelled Roy “Chubby” Brown’s performance over “inclusion” concerns.
Exmouth Pavillion informed the comedian that it had cancelled his performance — part of his “No Offence Meant” tour — as the show “no longer aligns with the organisations long-term strategic direction”.
The theatre said that it wants to promote “inclusion, wellbeing and community cohesion”.
The 81-year-old comedian has been banned from performing several times before and has been accused of racism. This is despite the posters advertising his performance warning “those easily offended stay away”, discouraging those under the age of 18 from attending and saying “This is an adult comedy and not intended to offend”.
Following the decision, the comedian made a statement via social media:
“Unfortunately, the Exmouth Pavilion’s new management informed us late Friday night by email that they would be cancelling Roy’s planned performance.
“To cut the email short, the explanation on the email was, and I quote one sentence, ‘This show no longer aligns with the organisation’s long-term strategic direction’.
“Make of that what you will and I think you can guess what my opinion is, but let’s not go over old ground again.
“One thing I will just say, and this is totally my opinion, and you may or may not agree, but as an individual, you have a personal right to decide for yourself.
“Wouldn’t the sensible thing, if the new management has an issue for any reason with the Chubby show, have been to honour the contracted booking and let the show go ahead?”
He went on to add: “cancelling a show three-and-a-half months before the actual date when fans have bought tickets and probably made travel plans” was “totally the wrong decision”.
“I have since talked to one of the theatre management to try and make sense of the situation and, although obvious to say we see it totally differently would be an understatement, sadly the decision will not be reversed”.
A counter statement from a spokesperson for LED Community Leisure — which runs the Pavillion — said: “As a public community venue, Exmouth Pavilion exists to promote culture, the arts and freedom of expression.
“We recognise that this decision will have caused disappointment and inconvenience for some, and we are sorry for that.
“As a charitable operator of public spaces, LED’s role is to carefully balance artistic freedom with our responsibility to promote inclusion, wellbeing and community cohesion.”
If the Pavillion really did exist to promote freedom of expression, it wouldn’t cancel performances due to the fact it may offend people.

People are so poor all they have is money

Let's frame it another way. People have become so poor they need to steal food.
