Response to the Ofcom complaints about Diversity's performance on BGT aired on 05/09/2020
The Issue
Right-wing and racist groups have been encouraging their followers to 'bring down' Diversity after their magnificent, powerful performance on BGT in which they tackled subjects such as racism, COVID 19 & the killing of George Floyd. The performance also paid tribute to the black lives matter movement. I have been sent screenshots of posts taken from right-wing and thinly veiled racist social media groups in which members are encouraging and directing each other to complain providing them with a complaint letter format and an online link to Ofcom. Screenshots of the messages are available. I want to ask Ofcom to carry out an investigation to identify any 'foul play'. Mainstream media have reported receiving a disproportionate number of complaints so I am hoping for full disclosure of the numbers of complaints. I think it is reasonable to request information on the content of the complaints that is not subject to Data Protection. Lastly, I will ask Ofcom to issue a press release on their findings once they have completed their investigation.
If you haven't already done so, please support this petition and more importantly Diversity and their magnificent performance by signing and sharing it as widely as possible.
I wish to thank each and every one of you for your time, consideration and your support.
I am more than happy to listen to any suggestions or advice that supporters may want me to consider or add to this petition. You can reach me at email: marinaoooooo@yahoo.co.uk
