Tonight’s finale of The #CelebrityTraitors has left a very sour taste in my mouth. Why? Well, let’s look at where the prize money is going. Bash’s chosen charity supports refugees, but, and I quote, ‘predominantly queer refugees’. Let’s not pretend ‘queer’ simply means gay. It’s an umbrella term encompassing sexuality and identity, closely associated with the promotion of woke supremacist gender ideology. Naturally, not to be outdone in the virtue-signalling stakes, Romesh’s charity also supports refugees. Meanwhile, across Britain, millions of ordinary viewers of this programme are struggling to make ends meet. Barely affording to fill their cars with fuel. Wondering how on earth they’ll pay for heating their homes this winter. Struggling to get a GP appointment. Dreading the cost of the weekly shop. Yet here we have wealthy celebrities, paid generous fees to appear on a BBC game show, choosing to give their winnings to refugee charities rather than organisations helping needy people in Britain. And let’s not forget who funds the BBC. It’s not ‘queer’ refugees, is it? Of course genuine refugees deserve compassion, irrespective of whether they’re ‘queer’ or not. But I suspect a great many viewers will be wondering why neither winner chose to support charities helping Brits. And perhaps it’s escaped the attention of Bash or Romesh, but some of the so-called refugees in this country are taking advantage of their new-found freedoms to commit heinous crimes. It’s the sheer disconnect that astounds me. This privileged metropolitan celebrity class seems to inhabit an entirely different world from the ordinary people who help pay their wages. I’m afraid tonight’s finale illustrated that disconnect rather perfectly.
