I wonder if the BAFTA awards have lost prestige and the interest of the public over the past few decades as the Oscars have in the USA.

I guess that will knock out a lot of period dramas unless you cast a gay black actress to play Jane Eyre.

Wuther Heights: Heathcliff's a tranny. How's that for a plot twist?

Impossible standards that crazies will eventually try to impose on families and communities. It’s unrealistic.

Will the Black Adder actually be black? Mr. Bean will not be black. He is too dumb.

TV shows will have to meet a series of diversity requirements to be eligible for Bafta awards under new rules.

Yay! So this means we’ll see more intelligent white men on the shows?

Doctor Who alone fills up the UK’s quota of black lesbians.

And how much of an effect will this have on the people of America?

And in “Turn”, George Washington woulda lost his cabbage many times over had it not been for his sane, sagacious, black valet. Why, that feller should be credited as being the real Father of our Country.

We are nearing when westerners who are still true to western traditions need a country to move to in mass.

This is Britain. They are turning into a nation of freaks, losers, and sissies.

This is not going to go well with the large cultivating a=mount of muslims in the UK. They religiously hate LGBT and all their little branches. I guess that means Jeff Dunham can play there now with Achmed. That ought to get a rise. And if that doesn’t Walter will.

Maybe the new rule will eliminate so many gays from shows. Limit them to the 2% of the general population or whatever the percent is. As it is now, there seems to be about 20% gays on tv. Can't watch a commercial without it having two guys all over each other. Every commercial last Christmas had gays which ruined the whole holiday season so guess it'll be another barf season.

Did Harry and MEghan have anything to do with this? They’re all about letting little Achie identify as he wants. Surprised MEghan hasn’t dressed him in a pink fluffy dress with ribbons in his hair.

On HGTV half the People appearing on House Hunters are Gay Male Couples.

On Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing (LA and New York) half the Real Estate Brokers are Gay.

Based on this I guess we must assume that half the Adult Population in this Country is Gay. #;^)
