I would like to thank both David Tennant and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social for not remaining silent tonight.

michaelcs1.bsky.social•7 days ago

He probably did and it was edited out

Can’t believe not a single person, besides Hamill, had the guts to make the slightest mention of the dangerous steps Trump is taking towards fascism. They are all cowards.

According to the Guardian liveblog, there were a lot of comments about Trump cut from the BBC broadcast, especially jokes Tennant made.

The BBC has been gutted by 14 years of full-on tory media and ministerial assault and is now overseen by a tory.

The BBC is a shell of its former self.

No wonder Emily Maitliss and Lewis Goodall told them to fuck off.

This calls for intervention from the government for such blatant censorship.

From the Guardian:

Why did the @BBC cut the truth?

empty52.bsky.social•7 days ago

Because the BBC is run by those who are on the right politically.

clairecopperman.bsky.social•7 days ago

To avoid controversy? Because they're scared? Worth putting in a complaint, maybe.

Imo the ones they cut were the less funny/savage ones and they kept in him literally calling Trump a literal villain (which the entire cloud laughed super loudly at)

clairecopperman.bsky.social•7 days ago

This one?

My point still stands, nearly every person on that stage was a coward for their silence while the world faces the greatest threats to peace and democracy in 100 years.

Incredibly politics-free spectacle. Mark Hamill gave the game away. Self-censorship has become the British disease.

Hi @markhamillofficial.bsky.social we'd all love to know what you were tempted to say...

jfritte.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes!

sirtom.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think he knows what we think he wanted to say, but as your country of residence slips rapidly into fascism I'd say that he thinks it's probably safer to get your ducks in a row first.

This is TDS stage 4

Just say it, VD pants wouldn’t realise it anyway
