...I mentioned in the other thread that it would be interesting to se IF.../...and IF has become...yes, some complaints received...


Some 1,675 complaints have been made about last weekend’s Britain’s Got Talent episode, which saw judge Alesha Dixon wear a Black Lives Matter necklace.

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom said the majority of the complaints related to Dixon’s three-tier necklace, which featured the letters B, L and M in gold.

An Ofcom spokeswoman said: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”

Following Saturday night’s pre-recorded show, Dixon shared a video on Instagram showing the necklace in full as she applied make-up.

It comes after Diversity’s dance routine on the ITV show, inspired by the anti-racism movement, sparked more than 24,500 complaints to Ofcom as of last week.

The routine saw a dancer playing a white police officer kneel on Ashley Banjo, echoing the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in US, while other dancers performed with police riot shields.

As Banjo lay on the floor while the police officer handcuffed him, other dancers crowded around with smartphones as if to film and take photos of the incident.

So what's the excuse this time?.. can't be the artistic representation of violence, so what's upset a handful of viewers now?

That's a good point you know - make it mail-in only. Even with a freepost address, only people who are really determined to make a complaint would bother so it would be more likely to be an actual serious complaint, and not just a load of people following a link that got sent 'round twitter.

I don’t mind as she isn’t bringing it to our attention, as in not pointing at it and screaming BLM!!! I don’t get why people complained, again.

Did anyone cry when she wore a crucifix? Any Jews, Muslims, or atheists feel the need to complain?

Anyone ever complained about a gospel act or song?

[Niamh.]

On what grounds were they complaining? People are allowed to wear Poppies etc so why not a BLM necklace?
