Should people be able to see Franklin Graham - Yes. Should people be able to see Fatiha El-Ghorri - yes. Should people be able to watch Johnathan Ross - yes. Steady on there; I believe we should have a minimum level of public decency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the operative words Joker Not, having the decision taken away from you before hand . Other than that your quite right . Watching Johnathan, 'Look how funny i thing I am by saying pen*s', Ross, on the other hand, should be the exception 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played there for over three decades, perhaps they'd like to hand the profits they've made in that time to charity. Ironically they had male strippers the Dreamboys on not long after they banned this act, ludicrous double standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work is hardly a state secret. That's the only question really. I've no problem with a decision not to book him in the future, I've no problem with him being cancelled for something particularly nasty he's come out with in the press/social media/whatever but he's not done that.

HeHasRisen Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 So he has played there for decades yet they only have an issue with him now?!?! Have they only just realised what goes on in their own buildings now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work is hardly a state secret. For the same reason they took Chubby Brown's booking. Money and no reason not to. The only reason they cancelled CB is due to a complaint. The excuse of 'not matching the standards of our inclusive venues` or whatever it was is just a PR self face exercise. If a list of standards even exists, it'll have a creation date after the chubby Brown complaint. If SCT don't want to host performers that aren't inclusive, then don't book them in the first place.
