Because the Queen of the Bonkbusters has died and she was posh, so we all need to hear how good she was from her posh mates. You’ll have forgotten about these two next week, but no one, absolutely no one, will forget Jilly the smut peddler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 42159 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I quite like him despite his comedy. He’s actually a pretty good actor. That’s ridiculous for all sorts of reasons though. Although I suspect it’s more of an instrument to stimulate debate than a genuine aspiration. How would all black British people qualify anyway though? There will be those with African heritage who can’t prove (or will have) any link to the slave trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63292 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I mean, far be it from me, the middle aged white bloke, to be the arbiter on this but stuff like that seems really unhelpful in the current climate. It's just another stick for the flagshaggers to beat minorities with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39276 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 It's pretty much unworkable. I mean Cole Palmer is technically mixed race, would he be eligible for a payout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in a one-off drama years ago as an ex-junkie running a football team and he was absolutely outstanding imo - never understood why he didn't really pursue serious stuff after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Alex said it's more of a starting point for debate than anything else. It's a debate that too many people won't even countenance unfortunately.
