David Walliams is fired from a film, and an unnamed celebrity threatened to take his own life if sexual abuse allegations are made public.
According to TMZ, Walliams has been dropped from an upcoming film, The Road to Nevermore, following allegations of misconduct.
This comes after publisher HarperCollins stopped publishing his books, including his existing back catalogue, following allegations concerning his behaviour towards female employees. His talent agency, YMU, is also reportedly no longer representing him.
The problem goes far deeper than one incident. Walliams’ career, particularly Little Britain, has long been built on racist caricatures, blackface and dehumanising stereotypes. The BBC and entertainment industry repeatedly gave him a platform despite years of public criticism and complaints about racism. This isn’t just about one individual; it’s about an industry that repeatedly chose ratings and profit over accountability.

So Alaina Kunes, one of the girls making monkey noises at the Black woman’s door, has a family history of racism. Her dad owns a car dealership, and a Black customer went there for an oil change and the N-word was written on their car by him or one of his employees. @OleMiss

🚨🇮🇷 HOLY SH*T! Iran Lifts Its Self-Imposed 2,000 KM Missile Range Limit on IRGC, Warns of Strikes Beyond the Middle East
IRGC spokesperson Brig. Gen. Mohebbi announced Saturday that Tehran's longstanding missile range restriction has been lifted.
“That restriction has been lifted for us.”
Even the previous 2,000 km range could reach parts of at least six European countries:
🇬🇷 Greece 🇧🇬 Bulgaria 🇷🇴 Romania 🇦🇱 Albania 🇲🇰 North Macedonia 🇷🇸 Serbia
The announcement follows reports of an attempted Iranian strike toward Diego Garcia, roughly 4,000 km away, earlier this year.
Iran has not disclosed its new maximum range or demonstrated a verified capability beyond 2,000 km.

Wow wow wow!!
It’s hard to grasp the BBC’s systematic attempt to launder Israeli propaganda until you see the sheer scale of it. Here's a compilation of them doing it at 2x speed.
The latest was on Newsnight on 4 November. When Bernie Sanders called Israel’s government extremist, Victoria Derbyshire answered for it: “And the Israeli government would deny that they are extremists.”
As this video shows, BBC presenters repeatedly do this as guests describe Israel’s crimes: “Israel would say.” “Israel would deny.” “They would reject that.”
We counted 70 of these denials and justifications in 52 aired interviews. The BBC calls this impartiality. But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders:
- “We are fighting human animals.” Yoav Gallant, 9 October 2023
- “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Isaac Herzog, 12 October 2023
- “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Israel Katz, 13 October 2023
- “Remember what Amalek did to you.” Benjamin Netanyahu, 3 November 2023
- Starving two million people in Gaza until the hostages came back might be “justified and moral”. Bezalel Smotrich, 5 August 2024
On 10 October 2023, Tahani Mustafa told the BBC that Israeli forces were not distinguishing civilians from fighters. The presenter replied: “They would reject that.” Mustafa then had to bring up Gallant’s “human animals” herself. The BBC supplied the denial. The guest had to supply Israel’s own words.
That is cherry-picking. The Royal Charter requires the BBC to be impartial, and the public pays for it through the licence fee. In these interviews, it handed its audience Israel’s denials and left out its leaders’ own words, during a genocide streamed live to the world.
We have archived the BBC’s coverage for three years, and we are now counting all of it: 50,000 video clips and many more written excerpts.
We are calling this first part: "BBC: The Would Say Files".
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too. Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source: newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…

عاجل:
كشفت هيئة الإذاعة البريطانية (بي بي سي) عن خطتها للطوارئ "السماء السوداء" لليوم الذي تفقد فيه المملكة المتحدة الكهرباء والإنترنت والهواتف، وذلك بعد 2 أسابيع من مطالبة الأسر بتخزين ما يكفي من الطعام والماء لـ 3 أيام.
وبحسب التقارير، سيدير نحو 100 موظف في بي بي سي استوديو إذاعيًا للطوارئ عبر خطوط آمنة لا تستخدم الإنترنت، ويقرؤون نصوصًا حكومية منشورة بالفعل على الإنترنت، وصولًا إلى كيفية التخلص من فضلات المراحيض دون استخدام السيفون.
صُممت خطة السماء السوداء لإبقاء إذاعة FM على الهواء لمدة 3 أيام على الأقل حتى لو تعطلت الكهرباء والإنترنت والهواتف.
أبراجها الإذاعية معزولة عن الإنترنت، ولكل منها خزان ديزل خاص بها يصل إلى 40,000 لتر لتشغيل المولدات لمدة 3 أيام، مما يتيح لبي بي سي الوصول إلى المنازل التي لا تتوفر فيها كهرباء أو إنترنت أو إشارة هاتف.
يوم انقطاع الإنترنت سيكون متأخرًا جدًا لتبدأ متابعتي. افعل ذلك الآن.

7 Weeks AFTER Cops Murdered Dillion, THEN they said he was a suspect in a murder. Convenient. This was outright murder. Of course Da handled the grand jury so there was none. Don’t worry, though, it’s just a few bad apples… And then the entire system covers for them. This Pig should’ve gone to prison.

Mehdi Hasan Confronts Nancy Mace Over Her Comments About Muslims — Then the Argument Turns Personal
Mehdi Hasan: The idea that Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed support Sharia law is absurd. They’re more supportive of gay and transgender rights than Nancy Mace.
And when Ivanka Trump wore a hijab in a mosque, I don’t remember Nancy Mace attacking her. When Donald Trump wore a kippah at a Jewish institution, she didn’t attack him either. This is about picking on Muslims to get votes.
You also said every terrorist is Muslim. That’s simply not true. There are Hindu, Christian and Jewish terrorists too.
Mehdi Hasan: You still haven’t explained why you support a woman in a Texas grocery store attacking two Muslim American women and telling them to leave the country.
You also support banning Muslims from public office. This is all cynical election politics.
Nancy Mace: For the first time in my life, I agree with Donald Trump. You’re an untrustworthy, nasty woman.
Mehdi Hasan: Trump endorsed your opponent, and you put out an AI video pretending he endorsed you. Why did you do that?
Nancy Mace: This is stupid. You’re trying to smear and defame me. I do not get drunk.
Mehdi Hasan: I asked whether you were drunk when you posted the video. Your former communications director told New York Magazine that you had staff members buying alcohol for you during the workday.
Nancy Mace: That’s not true. That never happened.
Mehdi Hasan: I’m telling you what your former communications director said. Take it up with her.
Nancy Mace: You’re making things up and smearing me.
Mehdi Hasan: Donald Trump doesn’t like you, your former staff don’t like you, and Muslims don’t like you because of what you’ve said about us.
