Congrats to all tonight’s production teams on their BAFTA wins. It’s been five years since black square summer & the heart felt promises the uk industry made about improving inclusion in those teams. As with every year since, we continue to see the results of that commitment 😉

For a business so cynical and exclusionary as the uk tv industry to have created a show so unbelievably beautiful as #TheAssembly is one of life’s little mysteries and does give a tiny bit of hope. Maybe.

While it’s is clearly ridiculous for anyone to be abusive when rejected, it’s equally ridiculous for BBC Writers to seemingly ignore the biases that have been at play for decades, that have caused such frustration and utter distrust in the fairness of these schemes 🤷🏽‍♂️

This here reflects so many of my conversations with uk film & tv execs.Their unwillingness to except that any other cultural experience than their own is relevant. Just think how much real innovation has been ignored in favour of a bloody Bergerac remake 🤷🏽‍♂️instagram.com/reel/DJwowoKRF…

Watching #Grenfelluncoverd on #Netflix & I am again in tears, filled with an unparalleled rage. I’m not a hateful, but I wouldn’t shed a single tear if a slow painful end befell every single one of those sick greedy corporate execs & cost cutting corrupt politicians responsible💚

Gotta say I do think it’s weird that in the Uk it’s actually illegal to refuse to financially support a broadcaster that engages in the censorship of art and music? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Very sad to hear this. Naomi was such a staunch advocate for inclusivity at @channel4 and in a space that is far too often abismally and deliberately performative, stood out as a fearless and outspoken champion of Black British creative and production talent in particular. 🖤✊🏽

I’m assuming Channel 4 will be as enthusiastic to commission my documentary on anti Black racism as they were for the one by the black face pineapple hat guy…Right?…You have my number 😉
