I see that Lawrence Fox received an apology from the Equity union today for the remarks made against him by one of their committees over comments he made on a BBC Question Time programme (see above). I think this is a welcome move by the organisation; powerful bodies that have controlling interests over people shouldn't simply be able to call someone "racist" and harm their employment opportunities simply because they disagree on a subjective matter of opinion. In fact, bearing in mind that the intention of this was to put Lawrence out of work, I think the wording of the communication is a little on the "weak" side if anything (see below).
Let's hope that this is a clear sign that the fight-back against ridiculous and politically inspired "wokeness" that has (dangerously IMO) gained a foothold in our culture and that the tide will now be turned. We should celebrate diversity of all kinds, particularly diversity of opinion.
