antrin Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 And then there’s the hypocrisy that she has never had a funny bone in her body. Cancelled? She wishes… She needs the publicity… which is what her patter for the article is after…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about that , not totally up to date on her views from the last 10 years but a quick Google shows a story that her and other Jewish actors have quit Equity this year because of Equity urging members to attend a Pro Palestine rally at which Israeli flags were burnt and anti Semitic speeches were the norm. A wee bit different to cancelling performers and gigs because of the content of their comedy act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if there was a march at which Israeli flags were burned, this would have been all over the news. What I did find was that she has refused to work with actors such as Maxine Peake and Myriam Margolyes, who have both spoken out against the behaviour of the Israeli state, so she effectively tried to "cancel" them. Like I say, pure hypocrisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the leader of Equity was urging their members to join the rally . Seems simple enough to me. I wouldn’t want to be part of an organisation who were actively encouraging their members to participate in something which had at its heart hatred of something which was close to my heart . 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the fault of the organisers or Equity, even if they supported the march. Their comments on this pre march were about standing in solidarity with workers in Palestine AND Israel. "Flag burning at 3 pm" was not mentioned, but old Mo had to use this to try and score political points, as she has also done by refusing to work with actors with different views to her. I'm sure if someone goes on stage and has a go at the Israeli government, she'll be the first wanting them cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who she is, haven't checked Wikipedia, but would imagine she's Jewish. The modern UK is a society full of groups advocating for special protection or advantages for their own kind. It's only going to get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
