I see even national treasures aren’t safe from the petulant, punitive tantrums of the irritant left. Witness the travails of Maureen Lipman. Two actors you’ve never heard of have flounced out of a stage production with Dame Maureen, citing her views as the cause of their ideological pant-wetting. And what are her criminal beliefs? She supports the existence of a Jewish state.
Oh Lord, grant me the confidence of a bit-part actor getting on his high horse over a dame who’s been entertaining the nation for six decades
Dame Maureen will be appearing in Right Before I Go at the Soho Theatre in London in a few days’ time. It’s a play that draws on real suicide notes left by public figures and everyday people. Its aim is to illuminate suicide’s horrors. No sooner had Lipman’s involvement been announced than the keffiyeh clowns of the thespian left were spluttering into their seven-quid matcha teas.
The first to sashay away in a flourish of cheap outrage was Gerard McCarthy. He was in Hollyoaks once apparently. He said he could not in good faith appear alongside Ms Lipman given the views she has “repeatedly expressed regarding Israel and Palestine”. Oh Lord, grant me the confidence of a bit-part actor getting on his high horse over a dame who’s been entertaining the nation for six decades.
