"How deeply disappointing it is to see Alan Cumming joining the ranks of people critical of the behaviour and reactions to John Davidson's interjection at the BAFTA Awards in February.
"John Davidson has shown courage in telling his story. He is to be congratulated on the honesty and integrity of I Swear. John’s attendance at the ceremony was always at a risk of some intervention: surely that is the point of the film, and all those in attendance would/should have been aware – and tolerant – of that. It perfectly illustrates the whole point of the film and to an international audience.
"The reactions since reflect very badly on BAFTA, BBC and luminaries such as Mr Cumming, displaying an intolerance and a level of hypocrisy around the notion of 'inclusive' cultural and arts.
"Instead of using the incident to promote awareness and understanding of the condition, and inclusiveness in the arts, they have chosen to undermine and embarrass John and the many people affected by the condition.
"Shame on them all." || LETTERS 👇
