Majority In The Arts Fear Shunning For Having The Wrong Opinion

More than eight in ten people working in culture and the arts feel those with “controversial opinions” risk professional ostracism.

 . . . "Meet your new favourite actor Laurence Fox, currently trending on Twitter because of his shocking appearance on BBC’s Question Time last night.
"It was shocking because instead of spouting the usual leftist pabulum, Fox boldly revealed himself as an anti-woke crusader.
"On the hypocrisy of actors who rack up air miles:

  • Yeah the carbon footprint’s huge. But we make up for it by preaching to everyone how they should change their lives.”

"On Meghan and Harry wanting to keep the perks of royalty while having independent lives:
“I do think there’s a little bit of having cake and eating it, which I don’t enjoy.”
"On the racism industry:
“One of the dangerous things about throwing racism around in this country which we’re doing a lot at the moment is that people become so conscious of it that things like the Manchester grooming scandal get ignored. We… should not call someone racist just when they don’t agree with you.”...
