Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is going to be for over 18's quite clearly this content is going to have adult centred language but adult language nonetheless.

So why was this allowed to happen BAFTAs or/and the BBC?:

Mr Davison has released a statement saying the following " I want to thank after and everyone involved with the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of recording warning everyone that my tics or involuntary and not a reflection of my personal beliefs.

I was heartened by the round of applause that followed the announcement and felt welcomed and understood in this environment that would normally be impossible for me. In addition to the announcement by Alan Cummings, the BBC and BAFTA I can only add I am, and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considered my involuntary tics intentional or to carry any meaning.

I was in attendance to celebrate the film of my life I SWEAR, which more any film, TV or documentary explains the origins, condition, traits manifestations of Tourette's Syndrome. I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette's community and teach empathy, kindness and understanding from others and I will continue to do so. I chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as I was aware of the distress my tics were causing."

So based on this statement Mr Davison is not the problem as at best he tried to person managed is disability.

I'm not clutching at straws here, because most of you would agree with common sense that even though BAFTAs tried to facilitate Davison's needs it just feels like and now I'm going to defend  Michael B. Jordan & Delroy Lindo as it does feel like they have been left hanging as it has been told that BAFTA hasn't reached out to them after this situation which putting myself in their shoes I can see why very clearly, because okay Davison has a disability but they could have also checked on these two performers just to say apologies and thanks for being understanding or I think what they were looking for was a bit more person management not special treatment but respectful treatment which should have been given to them as I can see both sides, would they have to ask what is wrong with BAFTA or/and the BBC these still seem to be slightly tone deaf to sensitive situations? I am not saying you have to be woke about these situations just be more aware of and hands on to all sides which where wherever you sit on the subject I think we can all agree that from one aspect BAFTA were very accommodating and the other aspect clearly not so much and from BBC completely tone deaf on all sides as originally they air this awkward moment but on some research they clearly edited out other moments such as any reference to Free Palestine.

Before I continue I would like to state by saying I am not speculating and they have no facts to prove otherwise; so this is just the hot take from an old cynical goat, but hypothetically speaking if I wanted to give my award show some traction on social media, be it positive or negative I wouldn't do it myself, but if something just accidentally got through the grapevine so everyone would in essence engage this would be the quickest and easiest way to garnish that engagement to the point where I can guarantee you some people will be watching a 2027 addition next year to see if anything like this happens again. Because in this model world this is what drives people engagement on any level and consequently all of the people involved are just in essence collateral damage.

BAFTA issue a statement: A STATEMENT FROM BAFTA

Posted: 23 Feb 2026

"At the BAFTA Film Awards last night our guests heard very offensive language that carries incomparable trauma and pain for so many. We want to acknowledge the harm this has caused, address what happened and apologise to all.

One of our guests, John Davidson MBE, has Tourette Syndrome and has devoted his life to educating and campaigning for better understanding of this condition. Tourette Syndrome causes involuntary verbal tics, that the individual has no control over.  Such tics are in no way a reflection of an individual’s beliefs and are not intentional. John Davidson is an executive producer of the BAFTA nominated film, I Swear, which is based on his life experience.

We take the duty of care to all our guests very seriously and start from a position of inclusion. We took measures to make those in attendance aware of the tics, announcing to the audience before the ceremony began, and throughout, that John was in the room and that they may hear strong language, involuntary noises or movements during the ceremony.

Early in the ceremony a loud tic in the form of a profoundly offensive term was heard by many people in the room. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage at the time, and we apologise unreservedly to them, and to all those impacted. We would like to thank Michael and Delroy for their incredible dignity and professionalism.

During the ceremony, John chose to leave the auditorium and watch the rest of the ceremony from a screen, and we would like to thank him for his dignity and consideration of others, on what should have been a night of celebration for him.

We take full responsibility for putting our guests in a very difficult situation and we apologise to all. We will learn from this, and keep inclusion at the core of all we do, maintaining our belief in film and storytelling as a critical conduit for compassion and empathy."

BBC have issued a statement saying " Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards... ...This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette's Syndrome... ...and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional... ...We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast... And it will now be removed from the version on the BBC IPlayer."

Why does the BAFTA's statement sound much more genuine, trying to handle this situation maturely over the BBC's almost teenager equivalent of essentially: Okay, okay I will apologise... you parents are the worst parents in the world."

But considering there was more or less a two-hour gap between live and recording version that should have been more than enough time to resolve these issues on a transmission level anyway. But then again and this is the only way I could finish this content really... this is just another case of the BBC not actually being professional as I have shown in the related content section they have previous and yet again they really drop the ball, without any signs of learning from it.

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is going to be for over 18's quite clearly this content is going to have adult centred language but adult language nonetheless and highly inappropriate and illegal sexual reference

Of what I have seen online this is the most ball-manure outcry I have ever seen: straight off the bat even though I may not know everything about Tourette's Syndrome and God bless John Davison he has accidentally shown that the disabled community are nowhere near seen as welcome people. Because if you had taken the time to learn about any form of disability and before I continue for people that don't know I have quadriplegic cerebral palsy with spastic tendencies, so my and Davison's disabilities are a very different but we have common ground where his condition is involuntarily what comes out of his mouth, my body likes to shake and give way, snatch, let go, strong bouts of pain which as you can guess leads me to say fudge a lot, so I can 100% see what probably happened with Davison here, regardless of who was on stage he was always going to point out something; you could be very short like Warren Davis or sadly or how to put this nicely African-American like

Michael B. Jordan & Delroy Lindo and Davison will say the harshest words possible, to be good and honest I mean if anyone took the time to watch I Swear you would understand if Davison can unfortunately mock someone with cancer then offending African-Americans would be no problem.

The reason why I'm putting things like this is because unfortunately I am very much aware there are some content creators out there already quite happily insinuating this was deliberate and I'm going to say that again deliberate racism; now allow me to show you what deliberate looks like when I ask you this one question; is your mother and father related?... Because if so that would explain your low IQ, you see Davison may be a nice guy but to for myself when I am pushed I am a complete vagina; so let's have a game of tough truth; so let me get this right as things stand right now; we have the following; UK and US governments withholding the truth about Epstein, a convicted felon in the White House, some elements of the rainbow community raging war on the world with pronouns, different biological body types being able to be in the same bar from when it is unacceptable, we now have children being subject to the transgender community which is just wrong, the US still has a gun problem, the UK should never had Brexit, immigrants being blamed for everything, the modern generations of the young can't handle life, we have women in particular as young as 7 dressing inappropriately, 13-year-olds and up dressing very inappropriately and wondering why men are looking at them, looking at places like when they are old enough such as OnlyFans and other adult websites as easy money, thanks to the likes of Bonnie Blue and others, claiming they are entrepreneurs and men should cater for them, claiming sexual assault when they haven't they just don't take responsibility for how they are perceived, meanwhile the entire disabled community in comparison we don't even get a look in, the only time we get a look in is when things are our fault apparently, such as this incident or/and the benefit system is too high and the genuine cases have to justify their existence even though this garbage isn't going to change for the better in fact it is just going to get worse due to ageing, meanwhile you can take away our rights for a fulfilling life, fulfilling relationships, sex life which just the record it is coming to 18 years straight without sex for me, because everyone treats us with contempt so I don't expect any woman to take me on any time soon, it's funny you are perfectly fine with stripping away mine or Davison's dignity and the right to actually live, which we have to go out with on a weekly basis adult language or much, much worse but if we say the wrong word being it ethnic or gender everyone gets their pitchforks out.

So if I'm not making myself clear enough yet; take this all situation make it into a nice ball in your hands and kindly, ever so kindly putting in your mouth and swallow your own hypocrisy; everyone on the good nature knows this is a non-issue, but if you want to die on this hill when there are other bigger things happening as I have only shown, you really are pitiful people.

Simply asking or telling someone like Davison or myself to control ourselves when we can't... is just going to make things 10 times worse, because all we will be thinking of is don't say that or in my case don't spasm or frankly do anything... I can somewhat restrain my language but it isn't going to stop anything else and you can physically see the pain on my face but other than that Davison and/or myself we are just people that are just ourselves, but I have just remembered all this incident has reinforced is everyone else can be whoever or whatever or including monitoring our language, but the entire disabled community cannot be seen as people with flaws which may or may not be deliberate or not but; but we have to suck it up and as some content creators have already alluded to Davison shouldn't have been there or/and shouldn't have been let out of the house; which this entire sentiment has become the focus point of this content; because people are extremely comfortable expressing his opinion, so it overshadows to African-American performers being called a racial slur they have been called 1000 times and more which is unacceptable in itself and because I know I am dealing with some probably really thick people out there I fully accept that this word/racial slur is unacceptable, but can't you see taking away someone's quality of life than just having a disability which they at best deal with/struggle with every day and saying that they shouldn't be out of the house/which means their house becomes the prison is also completely unacceptable behaviour, but then again regardless of government colours this is what the UK government wants to do anyway, but yet again the disabled community has to take another hit where people feel it is acceptable to be viable to express someone should remain in the house; what the hell is wrong with you people?! And to finish this content this is not the end of this content as if you think for one second I am going to let BAFTA or/and the BBC have off the hook you have another thing coming as most of you should know I have problems with the BBC, so if you think I have overlooked these two points I haven't they will get their's next, but I should just point out those people bringing up the racial slur that Davison said and going on and on about it; I hope you do realise that by not taking into consideration that this person cannot control what comes out of his mouth, you are in fact the individuals giving this work power especially through Black History MonthAnd here is something for you to think about maybe, just maybe everyone has now got a very thin skin and they don't know how to deal with life anymore, because at the end of the day this was just a very racial slur said by someone that has a disability and consequently can't help it end of story.

 Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content will contain adult censored language

What a load of manure really!: What the hell are you doing? True as of this content being first created I have no children or I don't think I have any children... just joking. But it has to be asked what spastic brain-dead politician [I will apologise for saying a word politician but considering I can use the other two words I am absolutely fine.] But seriously who came up with this concept... really?

Because I will tell you from experience the three generations after me as I am in my 40s once again as of this content being first created; cannot deal with life already as they are being wrapped up in cotton wool as just for one example and no this is not any sexist connotations but I know the least over recent times three women that can't use a microwave or a toaster, or the younger generations can't deal with face-to-face flattery such as being given a number without messing their underwear or regardless of any genders they are amazed and very intimidated by a bloke in a wheelchair that speaks fluently and is very cognitively aware.

I am not defending any social media platforms just for the record; but my point is; these young children or young adults or apparently adults nowadays just don't have the mixing skills or verbal or being able to read a situation and you may or may not like this but the problem is; the parents you have them; you educate them in life and don't you dare use that ball-manure it is up to the schools to teach my children, that is the most laziest parenting I have ever heard, school is meant to educate your children, some social skills and behavioural skills, combined with that it should come from parents and family.

No way in hell should be up to the government to raise your children you are aware that most adult websites have now been blocked in the UK, because you couldn't be bothered to raise your children properly... right?

But I can hear parents going but... but... but you didn't have this growing up?! Yes we did, just on a completely different level, because easily I would say the late 70s, 80s and 90s children got bombarded by toy advertisings including the actual cartoon series were designed to sell merchandise, I mean in particular the 80s kids in the 90s kids would remember this one specific tagline of something to the effect of "Batteries not included and each sold separately" or vice versa. I mean where does this banning finish, because does that mean they are going to ban cartoons from this present and future generations, including present and future toys marketing because it was mentally abusive to my little brain; that was already severely brain-damaged.

Hell if this banning does go through two things are going to happen; these modern generations are going to have real personality disorders, because they aren't going to be able to cope with real life and secondly if this does go through I want this government and future governments to pay from the 1970s to 2000 in generations mental health bills; so we can seek medical assistance for having this marketing pushed on us for decades: obviously as you can tell all should be able to tell I think this whole thing is bull-manure, because my mum/main carer has always said " Raising two big boys/men was hard work as individually or together you are hard work, but it was lots of fun with lots of stories to tell."

And potentially/broadly speaking you are robbing your children of memories and stories to tell in the future if you are not hands on teaching them as you go along about for one example social media or/and keeping an eye on or setting your own ground rules or opening a dialogue with your children to begin with; so to finish here is a great idea; why don't you get off your mobile devices yourselves, because I see you all around with your heads in your phones and you are not paying attention and I mean genuine attention to your children, instead of getting angry with them and then going back to social media or whatever, you should be text in someone if you need some shopping or something out of necessity and then go back to your children; but my point is clear; get off your mobile devices and raise your own children.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting./animal cruelty/transformation/robotics/disintegrating/bodily functions/electrocution/medical/kamikaze

A Shadow is seeking revenge: briefly; Shadow the Hedgehog [voiced by: Keanu Reeves:] he is a very powerful individual that is seeking revenge for something that happened 50 years ago and after dealing with Sonic the Hedgehog [voiced by Ben Schwartz:] he has made his family and home on Earth alongside his family and team, they decide to go and seek the assistance of someone that they rather wouldn't work with in the shape of Dr. Ivo Robotnik/another character [Jim Carey:] he is a long-term enemy of Sonic and his team, but as you will see Dr. Robotnik to begin with is not in the best shape.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 110 minutes film is; well it has a clear idea of what it is doing and it's objective and sticks to it without any problems.

Art, action and comedy; the animation is more fluent and then previous instalments such as Team Sonic takes on Shadow for the first time; they have designed it so that; it has that big moment sequence feel and presentation which it doesn't disappoint or much later on; Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his partner in crime are dancing through these security lasers; the choreographing is highly entertaining, be it from a visual perspective or/and a highly comical perspective as well; to the track Galvanise by The Chemical Brothers released in 2005. I would be highly disappointed if at some point down the line if this sequence of events didn't pick up at the very least some nominees for positive awards.

Character developments, voice performances and performances; broadly speaking all three of these have been excellently progressed, fresh and up and/or Jim Carey pulling double duty is masterfully hilarious as for a tiny example we get a small reference to the Green Lantern 2011 film. But let's begin at the beginning now; for the returning characters they have been smoothly updated be it voice or physical appearance and now with the natural and smooth integration of Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog; that so far like everyone else that takes a voice role in this franchise so far to date; they naturally gel as one and physical appearances; Alyla Browne as Maria: without giving too much away; she is a very close friend to Shadow and Krysten Ritter as Director Rockwell; she is a high-ranking officer that works for G.U.N [Guardian Units of Nations;] she provides a stern character that is doing her job, but we don't have one of those type of characters were it is a very basic version of this character type; she is a well rounded in-depth version of this character type; so that if need be she will push against all comers; be it Sonic and his team or anyone else; so consequently likewise she gels in with the rest of this cast.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; in one way or another it has lots going on and as an instalment it does move things along with computer game versions in the closing credits including but not limited to one extra credit scene at each section, so altogether there are 2 extra scenes.

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is not for anyone under being of 18 as there will be censored adult language references including references to racism.

Statement from the Kick It Out campaign regarding Sir Radcliffe facing no major consequences over his recent colonisation immigrants comments: "Kick It Out is disappointed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been given a stronger sanction for bringing the game into disrepute.

When speaking in any capacity, he is still a representative and co-owner of Manchester United, which has a global following. Unprompted, he brought the club into a TV interview where he was inaccurate with the facts and divisive with his language

At a time when various forces are seeking to divide society, football must stand united. We urge those in leadership positions to be mindful of the responsibility they carry."

Frankly if I was Kick It Out I would be extremely urinated off as I made reference in the second link, this was the first time ever in history that the FA/FAA could have really stood by these campaigns/programs and delivered a strong message that regardless of position in life, if you are clearly breaking rules and including campaigns for diversity, equal and inclusion then we will not tolerate this but let's be honest instead of standing up for their campaigns, they basically bent them over and made sweet sweet love to them.

So where do these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I mean and I am not dramatise it here, but it has been less than 24 hours since all of this went down and the repercussions of everything are already beginning to show.

Because on social media we are now seeing people saying it is good that he didn't face any repercussions or something to that effect or using the old chestnut of freedom of speech, there is a difference between a freedom of speech and being a co-owner of a football/soccer team which has a history, a president and a future employing such as football players from different countries and so on, so if he wants to share his freedom of speech do the right thing and leave Manchester United today, not tomorrow, not 2 weeks, not 2 years not 15 years I mean today. If you have real convictions on what you say Radcliffe leave Manchester United and go and join Reform UK and be Nigel Farage's little female doggie, Oh I have just remembered they may not take you because you yourself are a self-imposed immigrant of France, but Radcliffe people like you disgust me; simply based on the facts that you want all the positives of immigration be it the best players for an example or/and the tax breaks, yet you have the audacity to blame immigration what for? It really doesn't concern you, if anything you are either making money off the bat of immigrants or/and using immigrant status to save money.... so your opinion/opinions mean absolutely manure.

So I don't know where these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I know football... and that basically means from now on there will be in a certain section of our football community using this whole Radcliffe situation as a benchmark for what is acceptable; meaning if a football fan uses a racial slur they now have an excellent defence on why they shouldn't face any repercussions or being arrested based on the grounds of I just insulted one person Radcliffe insulted a good proportion of the UK and not only was he not arrested, he faced no major repercussions, so by definition I should be okay to not only not be banned from the stadium but also not arrested for racially insulting that player, so I have some major problems with things being rammed down my throat, but at the same time I do understand little of why campaigns/programs are here, but now they face a massive uphill struggle to be taken seriously after this... so well done FA/FAA [and for those people that can't read or pick up subtext I am being sarcastic.]

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is not for anyone under being of 18 as there will be censored adult language references including but not limited to racism.

This is absolutely horse manure!: As it was told yesterday that the FA that Sir Jim Radcliffe will not face any further action over his recent references to the UK being colonised by immigrants on Sky News on 11/02/2026, but has been reminded by the FAA: of his responsibilities as it relates to taking part in interviews, so essentially at best it gets a verbal warning and at worst he gets away with it.

So can someone tell me what the fudge are we doing here? Seriously? All of this campaigning in one way or another for kick racism out, take the knee or inclusivity this or that... I mean the uncomfortable truth is for the first time ever for anyone to show some real change it still comes down to one thing and one thing only; one rule for us and one rule for them, I mean I am old enough and jaded enough to know this is the reality of life, so am I surprised? Am I hollocks.

So what I would recommend is stop funding these idealistic campaigns/programs and even though this is my content, I am not actually saying these things, I'm saying it from the perspective of; the FA/FAA have choked big time and it can be only seen on the same level as Arsenal trying to somehow either get over the line or somehow handing the Premiership title to Manchester City this season; but on a serious note; what I would have liked to see is Radcliffe get a 10 year ban from visiting any premiership club for a league match. Then I could say okay anyone from any walk of life, it is clear that football; in the world of football; they don't want this horse manure anymore; so fair play good result and good on the hierarchy of football for standing by their convictions.

But back in reality; I hope the hierarchy of any football nation including the FA/the FAA is coming to the realisation that based on this result; it makes any future disciplinary action virtually impossible; based on the fact you have now set a president.

Allow me to show you what I mean; so we have a player allegedly using racist language towards another player; based on your standard set I don't see a problem with this, because if Radcliffe can say roughly we have been colonised by immigrants [which has the potential to offend millions upon millions of people] and not seeing any genuine repercussions for this, then there should be no problem with one player using allegedly a racist word as it one or more players.

I mean I can even go one more step and say whatever good the campaigning all programs did, that Liverpool fan in a wheelchair that got arrested for racist language towards Antoine Semenyo; should have never been arrested and furthermore should now be able to return to Anfield without any problems as it was just one-on-one; so can't you see this outcome of Radcliffe is heavily damaging to these campaigns/programs and now completely undermines them entirely And since I have been dictating this content, and now experiencing one of the biggest problems with Redcliffe's comments it has now galvanised those individuals of strong racist views to express them as over the last day and a half and yet Redcliffe is to no real consequences what a complete fudgin' joke: so I have one last thing to say... Come on Tottenham, You can take a point or points off the Arsenal!

Just a roundabout 7 days until retirement; what could go wrong?: Sergeant Roger Murtaugh [Danny Glover:] he is planning to retire within about a week's time and Sergeant Martin Riggs [ Mel Gibson:] is ever so slightly I would say nudging him to possibly reconsider with comments like something to the effect of; you go to miss all of this?: But don't worry we just have enough time for one more case.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script has everything that its fans would have come to expect from this franchise, but including the gutsy move to include youth gun violence and in hindsight that is the only disappointing thing about this film; which it is nothing against this film, but you will get my point; that this film was released in 1992 and when this content is first being created it is now 2026 and the USA still has gun issues. The framework and pacing of this 118 minutes film is incredibly well structured as everything mean something with a minimum consistent pacing with the option to go up and down throughout the gear when it is time to do so with this very natural increase and decrease in pacing; it has a very natural flow to proceedings.

Action and comedy; so yes our favourite Sergeants at this point anyway may have got older, but it is good to see that much hasn't changed as they tried to refuse a bomb, even though the bomb squad is on the way Riggs basically indicates; we can do this... but without giving too much away at least they saved this young cat, consequently sometime later they get to have some fun with this jaywalker and Sergeant Riggs gets to make another new four-legged friend

Character developments and performances; the character developments are multilayered as we have retirement, youth and gun violence, a reversal Sergeants Murtaugh obviously and clearly going through something that no one should ever go through, but he had no choice. But he has Sargent Riggs trying to be there for him as he and his family was for him way back when and newcomer in the form of Rene Russo as Lorna Cole: she is from Internal Affairs, that to begin with comes can't disclose, but eventually she works with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; she perfectly slots in and as you will see she is more than capable to hang with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; amongst the established returning characters and cast; so on average the performances are excellent, especially from Danny Glover and Mel Gibson.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; for still at this time in history including youth gun violence, remained fresh, doing the role reversal thing and moving things on, whilst also maintaining their assets of this franchise, this is why this instalment has the mark it does; we also have an extra bit, somewhere around the closing credits something comes over the police radio and off they go again; this is voice only. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 3 Winners which include but not limited to MTV Movie + TV Awards 1993 MTV Movie Award Best On-Screen Duo Mel Gibson Danny Glover. 4 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event  MTV Movie Award Best Kiss Mel Gibson Rene Russo.
