'Terribly white' Coronation balcony comment from Bridgerton star tops Ofcom complaints | Headliners



Over to Thursday's telegraph and a Bridgeton actress was distressed to see how little diversity has survived in the aristocracy since the 1820s Yes, and basically that a duo and oh, and I hope I pronounce her name correctly who was in Bridgeton She was also in casualty. Dr. Who Jonathan Creek a said that she was I'm that's the guy with the curly hair isn't it? Yeah, Alan Davis Alan Davis, okay? So basically I think everyone has seen it There's been 4,000 complaints and she just said that she felt there was so much diversity within the actual ceremony Yeah, when she looked at the balcony she found it terribly white So there are two kind of main things about this a lot of people are saying well She's she's being factually accurate because when you looked there there were only white people And other people are saying that she well we were discussing it before it is the fact she says terribly Wait, I mean imagine if you said that about any other race you'd be in jail. Yeah never work again Imagine you had to look at the the Pakistani Aristocracy terribly brown aren't they do you want to mean I mean it you would be you wouldn't ever work again Yeah, you know it's absurd the amount of hatred that our royal family and our you know ethnic Majority still attract absolutely Flabbergasted that she feels she can say that like like she is literally saying there should have been a Concerted effort to get more brown and presumably black or whatever faces into the royal family Yeah, as if these people don't have the right to choose their own spouses. Yeah, it's not like it's not like a corporation No, it's not a boardroom. It's like marriage. Yeah Yeah, it's quite a slow process and then the first first person of color who did join You know created an extraordinary man of fuss and basically precluded herself from being on that balcony I don't know.

What's your view process my view? Well, I want to know what happened Why didn't she come again? You're talking about Megan? Yeah, and she she didn't come because she's like about I honestly think it was extraordinarily tone deaf But I am encouraged by the fact that it has attracted the most of complaints of any Activity or anything. I think last year's was love Island or something wasn't it? Anyway, I think that's good. I'm glad that people are speaking up and just go off You know can we just have a day off from this? I still feel that the majority of British people are self-loathing Massacists, yeah, love putting themselves on the bottom and I actually love that you know having you're being beaten up for Being white. Well, you're absolutely. I've discussed this on various tech groups You know on the internet you always notice if for instance there is some kind of parental opposition to some crazy woke program going on in a school You will always find it's the Asian parents Yeah kicked off because they have no problem at all asserting their culture and their their authority within their own family and what their kids get To learn and at what age yeah, whereas whereas so many white parents now will just roll over and just assume the state knows best So I'm kind of I'm really encouraged to see that Yeah, absolutely.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
