I still wouldn't advocate punching him though Ammi .

But yes the man is absolutely vile, I was very much of the opinion that it wasn't appropriate for him to even have been invited ON to CBB let alone him winning it. He nearly had a brain haemorrhage on the show from trying to hold in his sexist/racist/just generally hateful and angry opinions and it was really obvious. Seems he's fully embraced himself now. Yuck.

He's been abusive to multiple wives and he was even arrested as part of Yewtree ffs - but "not enough evidence" in the end. "Note that's "not enough to bother pressing charges" - there was enough to arrest him.

Jim Davidson lol lol lol, he is one of the last people i would take seriously

he's even below Piers Morgan in my estimations and that says a lot i guess

I am honestly BAFFLED that anyone could watch the youtube video posted on this thread and genuinely think "Oh I like this chap."

Serious question; If Jim Davidson came up to someone and started making jokes about popping his tongue into their daughter's arsehole, would you expect them to chuckle... or would you be unsurprised if they bopped him upside the head harder than a mouthy orangeman on the bus to Tesco?

Saville had a good way of hiding this creepy behaviour at the BBC that time


and he was popular, Top of the Pops was that number one chart show for the people

I mean, it's only 0.4% of viewers so that number is relatively meaningless. I did read that they lost about 10% of their viewership but tbf I don't know how much of that is normal week-on-week drop. Also it would be conjecture to assume that all of that 10% was because of Diversity... maybe some people just remembered that BGT is ****.

That’ll happen when racists are determined to make black people the most complained about thing ever, without actually seeing what they’re complaining about

OK so having actually watched the performance now ( I know, I know...) I don't actually get what there is to complain about? I think I assumed that it was politically partisan but... it isn't even that... it's mainly observational of the issue and quite hopeful of a better future. Somewhat ironically given the response, perhaps.

I liked the performance, I didn't find it earth-shattering or revelationary but because of that... it really isn't controversial. It doesn't play into political tribalism in any particular way. So yes... the complaints really are petty and I can't think of any reason for them other than people having an automatic "ew lefty stuff yeuch" reaction.

......it’s an incredible performance, eh...I’ve said before, quite a while ago about an African group of children who have often visited the school and given such incredible and powerful performance with expression through dance...
