The interruptions prompted an explanation and apology from host Alan Cumming . . . . But according to Lindo, people behind the BAFTAs did not offer either him or his co-star Jordan the same courtesy.

It still surprises me that the award show is apologizing for the man's disability. He has Tourette's. He did not do it on purpose. Would they apologize if someone with a different disability disrupted the program, or if the Tourette's advocate shouted something other than the "N" word? I guess we now know that race trumps disability in the Woke hierarchy.

Yeah. I don’t get this. They must have known the guy has that condition when they invited him...like the Frog and the Scorpion story-they should have known when they let him hop on their backs.

I used to know a woman who had it, and while you were conversing with her, she would place one hand under each breast and shove her breasts upwards with each hand, and grunt loudly when she would do it.

As a guy, it was unnerving in a professional setting, and I mentioned it to a guy I worked with and he said she had that condition.

Tourette’s. It’s a nice excuse to have complete freedom of speech. You have to wonder what is going on in the head of someone who feels the need to yell the n word at black people. He could have yelled the F word or the S word or any one of the C words. Or all of them. I think people with Tourette’s should be shunned. Sorry.
