“People Go to Watch a Movie to Be Entertained, Not to Get a Message” - Nelson Peltz
Billionaire investor Peltz, whose stake in the Disney Corporation is worth an estimated $3.5 billion has declared war on Disney Corp. top management's woke agenda that has turned the company's output from hugely popular but intellectually retarded money spinners into expensive, boring, self - righteous flops. He has hit out at the entertainment giant over the use of all-black and all-female casts which they claim is done in the interests of diversity and inclusivity.
Peltz sided with accusations that the Hollywood behemoth has become too woke. He said: “People go to watch a movie or a show to be entertained. They don’t go to get a message,” and took issue with recent releases The Marvels and Black Panther, which portray female and black superheroes respectively.
In an interview with the Financial Times, the tycoon said: “Why do I have to have a Marvel that’s all women? Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-black cast?”
Disney’s recent push into racially divisive casting is a resultv of efforts by the US company to balance its output after decades of films starring mostly white and male characters and actors, but the policy has fuelled criticism that Disney is focusing on political activism at the expense of attracting audiences.
After years of delivering blockbusters, Disney’s film studios, which include Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm, have suffered a string of disappointing box office openings.

Irish Prime
Minister Leo Varadkar whose government has faced protests because it is claimed they govern in the interests of the Dublin Gay Mafia liberal elite and ignore the collective opinion of the Irish people, suffered two major blows to his ambition to turn deeply conservative Ireland into the wokest country in Europe last weekend.
Reprieve For Free Speech - UK Online Safety Bill Sent Back To Committee
It s gratifying for supporters of free speech that the UK Government's Online Safety Bill, which had been described as a charter for censors, has been ripped apart and will have to be redrafted entirely apart from the title.
When the House of Commons the Speaker, savages a Bill it must be bad, so from the moment Lindsey Hoyle told MPs that the bill was 'all over the shop' (a good old northern phrase from a northern politician,), and that at least half its clauses "would be getting the treatment," in particular that measure which aimed to force Social Media platforms to remove content which was "legal but harmful," ...
UK School that ‘canceled’ JK Rowling as a role model over transgender views replaces her with ex - Olympic athlete who has even stronger views
Managers and senior teachers at the exclusive Boswell's School in Chelmsford, UK faced a wave of criticism after withdrawing from Harry Potter author JK Rowling the honour of having one of the school's houses named after her and have now shot themselves in the foot again by naming as Rowling's replacement a former Olympic athlete, Kelly Holmes, who won two gold medals and who has recently voiced some strong opinions on the policy of allowing formely male transgender athletes to compete in women's events, ever though the athletes involved still have their male wedding tackle.

Have You Committed Your Three Thought Crimes Today?
You're a criminal. So am I. We all are, according to some legal experts there are now so many crimes, a lot of them loosely defined, it is impossible to get through the day without committing at least three crimes. In fac it is often the case that by obeying one law you are breaking another.
Tim Stanley, Daily Telegraph, 20 September 2021:
The cultural elite says our new culture secretary is uncultured, yet I’d wager she’s the first best-selling author to hold the job, and the only one I know of to have eaten an ostrich anus on TV, which sounds positively French. The appointment of Nadine Dorries – an outspoken former nurse, businesswoman and star of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – is not a two fingers up to the culture industry but the direction of travel. That’s what so terrifies the gatekeepers.
White Privilege Now Inculdes The Privilege Of Being Fired For being White
Its should be obvious by now that the politically correct left, insaniac sociopaths that they are, have only one emotion at their disposal; hate. Bizarrely the hatered of these predominantly white, middle class people, while of themselves, is mostly racist in nature but directed at members of their own race.

Peltz certainly has a point, it is obvious from internet comment threads that many people struggle to understand how all black or all female casts are diverse. If the idea is to equate casts with current demographic proportions it will be difficult to make films unless based on stories about today.
In the UK the Asian proportion far exceeds black while both were insignificant until recently. Now, judged by the racial makeup of UK television and film casts the UK must be at least 50% non European but any film or TV drama set in the UK more than 20 years ago cannot accurately reflect demographics without falling foul of the Politically Correct Thought Police.
We The Punters do not want films and TV shows that are a factual representation of life. And drama was never about factual reporting of events, we pays our money and we takes our choice which is to see good stories, convincingly acted so we can suspend disbelief, with a satisfactory outcome. Don't tell the woke brigade this, they often prove they do not possess sufficient imagination to distinguish fact from fiction.
Disney are not the only company in entertainment media to adopt this crazy self-defeating agenda. What is difficult to understand is why corporations do this to themselves given that they can see very clearly by looking at the bottom line the damage it is doing and could even refer to the fate of other corporations who have attempted to serve the woke agenda rather than the tastes of paying customers. As a result of their follies the phrase 'Get woke, go broke,' has entered the language.
