The pop-up sermon from Fussell and Tagg is exactly the sort of self-congratulatory fluff the celebrity set chokes on. All this guff about “allyship” and “empathy” is just the latest coat of gloss on a movement that punishes dissent and calls it compassion. They’re not taking a stand; they’re leaning on the safest, most professionally bulletproof script in town.

Let’s be honest: there is nothing “brave” about parroting rainbow-lobby slogans in 2025. You could chant them in your sleep and still get invited to the BAFTAs. Meanwhile, the real-world fallout of gender dogma on women’s spaces, safeguarding, and confused kids is becoming harder to ignore — but you won’t catch this lot troubling themselves with that. It ruins the aesthetic.

Instead, expect a parade of sequins, stilettos, and finger-wagging lecturing from people who haven’t set foot in the real world for years. They’ll tell the public they must applaud harder, comply faster, and feel grateful for being told off by people whose entire lives are curated for applause.

“Tone deaf”? Try wilfully oblivious. The whole spectacle is just another round of moral grandstanding by people who mistake performance for principle.
