I've yet to hear a credible reason for the backlash,other than its an entertainment show...that is not a reason to make a formal complaint to ofcom.

It was entertaining, relevant and thought provoking A triple threat.

When did i say i didnt want to watch it ? I didnt watch it as i was doing other things,Im not bothered what they did, all I was trying to say is a reason why SOME people may have complained.

issue a tweet to say we are not admitting we did owt wrong incase we get in trouble

lol

aye right

(also it took them how long to issue this?)

So what exactly do you believe they've done wrong? What should they have done?

We agree that BGT is trash, but that's not the issue.

Being spineless would be not standing by their convictions. Yes, I found it a bit cringey, but I find most interpretative dance cringey af, and if cringe were a crime then Cowell wouldn't have a television career.

Good for them for sticking to their guns.

BLM are marxists? Can someone using this scary boogeyman, explain what marxism and the ideology of Marx aims to achieve?

Being pavlovian conditioned to react to buzz words is pretty meaningless.

I absolutely guarantee that the vast majority of people shouting "Marxist" about things have no idea what they mean... It's not even something you could just look up and have a little read about. A degree-level module barely suffices as an "introduction".

Ofcom have confirmed they will not investigate

Racists fuming

You love to see it

[Crimson Dynamo]

It wasnt reported to be investigated, the point has already been made in the thread about what offcom does.

It was reported to register dislike and anger

Yes, if they want to audition. What show would you like to see them put on? Maybe something uber-patriotic like Shakespeare's Henry V?

Is the lack of representation of the far right on saturday evening tv, a pressing issue of our time?

Then they are misusing it, that's not what ofcom are for to act as a barometer for the nations Karens.
Ofcom is not the manager...

Ashley Banjo has addressed the number of complaints against Diversity’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent, as it nears becoming the most complained about TV moment of the decade.

The dance troupe’s Black Lives Matter-inspired routine has so far prompted more than 23,000 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.

It is the second highest number for a TV show since 2010, after 25,327 were made in 2018 about Celebrity Big Brother when ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett alleged she had been assaulted by fellow housemate Ryan Thomas.

Banjo, 31, shared a photo of himself with his daughter Rosie on Instagram.

He wrote: “Just me and Rosie patiently watching as we head for the number 1 spot.

“In other news though, I was out and about today and felt so much love from people.

“Never let the minority warp the reality… This country really is Great #Diversity #ofcom”

Looks like he is still quite upset about not being so popular anymore. Play with fire Mr Banjo, play with fire...

I dont think diversity had to audition for this episode, but in the fairness of balance, maybe we should have something this saturday to balance things out.

Are Diversity that dance group that did well a few years ago? I don't watch it. If they are, then they've already proven themselves as an entertainment act.

Whereas this is the Tommy and BF, light entertainment stand up routine.


Hope he tells his classics, like "who would rape her, bruv?"

Eh...I've already told you they left all this behind them to follow a career in music and dance

Why should the media be interested in the wailing of a few karens?

The complaints only gained trajectory following the media circus, and spurned handbag clutching from those who haven't even seen it. As you say turn the title into ashleys bandwagon. ..because that's all that's happened here.

There never was a case worthy of investigation, it was just the squealing of salty gammon urging those like them on that pushed up the number of complaints.

Ofcom is funded by public grants, how dare they ignore the concerns of over 25 thousand people!!

What is there to investigate? Some black people did a dance about current world issues and racists complained. Case closed.

Glad to see ITV and OFCOM both throwing the complaints in the bin where they belong.
