@lisabelk387416 күн бұрын
Absolutely. Monty Python can't even air in lots of places now. I get that they were poking fun a lot at bigotry, but many skits were downright, blatantly racist or homophobic by today's standards, (and certainly were back then, too). But that's OK though because times have changed, and he made his money from it. Just like the slavers once did, right? Furthermore, Her Late Majesty the Queen did more for decolonization and upholding human rights worldwide than any other single person in history, so to equate a medal he received depicting St. Michael crushing the devil to murdering George Floyd says far more about his thought processes than anyone else.

These celebrities display their wilful ignorance. It was the government of the day that imposed slavers, just as it was the British Parliament that abolished slavery in 1783 by the efforts of William Wiberforce, who persuaded the then PM William Pitt to introduce the Abolition Bill into Parliament. Of note, the British abolished slavery some 90 years before America. Celebrities seem to have difficulty in comprehending that the British Monarchy is of a Constitutional model, and as such, do not have the power to interfere with the processes of Parliament. The corollary to 3:03 this, is that slavery, up until 1783 was tolerated by the British public who were free at any time to petition Parliament to abandon the practise. Celebrities embarrass themselves with their lack of knowledge

Why do these so called celebrities who change their minds about receiving these special honours have to make such a fanfare over returning them when they could do it quietly without publicity.

Hiya Neil 🌞 IMO these people need to trace slavery from its roots back in true history -including the white slave trade ( which still exists today!!),and recognise that the orignal slavers were phonecians/arabs- who kidnapped their own peoples to barter for goods around the world! All the way through those people who also sold themselves as indentured slaves ect,and then recognise the types of slavery as well as the eras and social moires that directed them.The doing away with latter day slavery was also enabled greatly by the British monarchy if they studied their history!! But I guess ignorance is bliss,despite one wishing that educated/ factually informed,considered opinions were given as well.

I’ve never understood why the RF gives Titles and Knighthoods to celebrities. There are so many ‘normal’ citizens who do great things for their communities, schools, children, women’s shelters, abused children, etc. A great majority donate their time, just like the working royals. If the RF is handing out Titles, Awards, Knighthoods, they should do so with the Military and the humble working class heroes. Instead of the ultra wealthy recognizing people of wealth and fame they should zero in on those who actually make a contribution to society!

Michael Palin sadly comes across as a hypocrite.
Not sadly, TRUELY.
Perhaps it is simply that many of these celebrities are just rather shallow.
Palin whining about political correctness is a joke. Monty Pythons would be canceled today
Absolutely. Monty Python can't even air in lots of places now. I get that they were poking fun a lot at bigotry, but many skits were downright, blatantly racist or homophobic by today's standards, (and certainly were back then, too). But that's OK though because times have changed, and he made his money from it. Just like the slavers once did, right? Furthermore, Her Late Majesty the Queen did more for decolonization and upholding human rights worldwide than any other single person in history, so to equate a medal he received depicting St. Michael crushing the devil to murdering George Floyd says far more about his thought processes than anyone else.
THEY DO NOT DESERVE THESE HONOURS PEOPLE THAT WORK VERY HARD IN THE COMMUNIT DESERVE HONOURS THESE CELEBRITES ARE SPOILT BRATS I DO NOT LOOK UP TO THEM
Monty python was the most. disrespectful program of the era. You are right they should just shut up.
Every country had slaves. Every colour of people had slaves. Even today we have economic slaves
Blacks in Africa enslave their own.
And they never tell you who sold the slaves in the first place.
Precisely.. palin should be proud of how brirain behaved..stopped slavery.. and contributed to many good things in the countries they were in.. look at the indian rail system that palin loved going on! He should not go to countries where there has been slavery.. oh.. that means the whole wide world!!
One day people like Michael Palin will understand how little slavery contributed to the UK economy and be proud that the UK stopped slavery world-wide. This is possibly the single biggest altruistic act by a country ever.
And the fact that the AFRICAN BLACK SLAVE TRADERS sent a delegation to the British Parliament to ask them to STOP the Abolition of Slavery Movement. As they said it had been their culture and major trade FOR CENTURIES.
And people like him conveniently forget that the chiefs of the African countries sold their own people into slavery.
Exactly, if he really knew his history, he’d know exactly what Britains part in slavery was or rather wasn’t. As for Brian Cox, well………
Yes, and one that we've only just finished paying for THIS CENTURY! So I am retired now, but virtually all my working life, my taxes were going towards paying off the loan taken out to free people from slavery, as did the taxes my parents and grandparents paid for something that happened before any of us were born!
Why complain about the monarchy but accept awards from them?!

These big-mouth "celebrities," MUST LEARN TO KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT. We are not interested in their political thoughts, feelings, and thinking, etc.
An actor years ago said that if he talked about his political beliefs-he'd automatically lose 50 % of his audience. Wish the rest understood that.
I’ve lost respect for so many public figures and actors. They’ve how truly hypocritical and sleazy they are. They don’t deserve those honours. 😔🇨🇦
indeed...many of them are really complete eejits
If they are so down on the Royal family, why don't they go to a country they respect and live there?
Maybe because they love their country
such as Nigeria

@@user-ym3wt7mr2hthey clearly do not
@@sonjadidyk-tn4cc He could provide a welcoming parade for H &M when they land in Nigeria ? 😊
Really wish folks knew the history of their country. I will not be supporting them.
Brian Cox knows his history he is a dundonian and knows all about Scotland's history I wonder how many people who are running their gobs know about their own countries history
Another hypocrite. The world full of them right now.
Hypocrites when it's convenient for them.
The Royal rejects are the skidmarks pretty much
If you’re not a Royalist or supportive of British rule GIVE IT BACK. Why keep it. No respect to you 😮🤨
I'd respect anyone who (quietly & politely) refused an honour because of their principles, but not those who make a fuss about how wonderful and woke they are and send them back. No-one forces them to take an honour- it is offered, you can refuse....
Big wave Neil! 👋👋👋👋👋. Shame on these hypocrites. I won’t be watching their work anymore.
Mee too
Michael grew up in a very posh part of my city. I am ashamed of him being associated with it. I loved watching all of his travel documentaries over the years, and my late father was a massive Monty Python fan...I found them childish. I won't be tuning in to any of his stuff anymore.
Isn’t it wonderful how you see the true colors of people?😮
Just jumping on the "woke" bandwagon! When the tide turns - and it will because we are sick of it - it will bite them on the behind!!
I used to like Michael Palin. I even bought one of his books, but never again. Now, i dislike him intensely.
Seems they feel pretty "comfortable" when receiving the honours - and getting the publicity that goes with it; don't mind using the Royals for personal gain, then bashing them for more publicity and $$$ ... Gee, wonder who that reminds me of??
I had always admired Michael Palin - I was at Universtity with him and saw his sketches for the university, experimental theatre club. I also enjoyed his travel shows. BUT his hypocrisy is too much. Bye Bye Comrade Palin.
These celebrities display their wilful ignorance. It was the government of the day that imposed slavers, just as it was the British Parliament that abolished slavery in 1783 by the efforts of William Wiberforce, who persuaded the then PM William Pitt to introduce the Abolition Bill into Parliament. Of note, the British abolished slavery some 90 years before America. Celebrities seem to have difficulty in comprehending that the British Monarchy is of a Constitutional model, and as such, do not have the power to interfere with the processes of Parliament. The corollary to 3:03 this, is that slavery, up until 1783 was tolerated by the British public who were free at any time to petition Parliament to abandon the practise. Celebrities embarrass themselves with their lack of knowledge
Why is it no one ever mentions the white Barbary slaves of Africa or the fact that Africa still has slaves today? You would think someone who knows history like Palin would know better.
What is wrong with these people who complain about the royal family and refusing royal awards?
Rewards are not royal. They are decided on by the government, not the monarch. The royals only give them to the recipients as part of stepping in for the figurestate of the UK, i.e. the monarch. This is how absolutely ridiculous all these refusals of the awards are - they are given by the state, and the recipients don't even have to appear in person to receive them. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Oh wow ..... The tube....I left London in early 90s for uni in Belfast. Stayed here but I do miss the sounds and smells of the underground. Great video. Never knew that about Michael Palin and Brian Cox. Oh dear....oh dear...
Who cares. They're irritating wokees.
But they will happily buy awards.
SORRY couldn't say anything nice about those two faced ACTORS so I'll keep my thoughts to myself, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT X
I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion but my estimation of Michael Palin has certainly dropped now as I didn’t know he was such a staunch anti monarchist and such a self flagellator of Britains history
Nor me, fed up with these so called celebrities putting their own country down, disappointed with Palin.
After they made their money
@@susanrichards5849 well he can always go live elsewhere if the UK is that bad, He can afford to and who will miss him?
@@patriciasiddle5379 yes how strange all these people make their money in the land they claim to be so embarrassed of then squeal at how terrible it is
This little group of comments has helped me to feel better. We’re not alone.
How disappointed I am seeing Michael Palin’s true colors. Here’s a Wave 👋👋👋👋
Agreed. Who knew he was such a self-serving hypocrite? Well, we do now. 👋🤠💖🇨🇦
Ahh, didn't Britain end the slave trade? But lets not talk about that.
There are actors who are namby pamby. They have no real conscience and change their values/beliefs at the drop of a hat.
Whatever gives them the best press and/or most money is their primary motivation
@@lisabelk3874 I believe you are also right about that. IT reminds me of the old saying about brats..."to them, any attention is good attention!"
@@lisabelk3874 Just like politicians too
If I never heard another thing about sparry and megaliar again that would be wonderful
They are disgraceful. I would expect their generation to have been brought up with more respect. Never liked palin anyway.
Oh.... I'm disappointed about Palin. Lost respect for him.
Ungrateful sods. There are a lot of two-faced people around ..... 🤔🤔😉😉. Cheers Ausgranny 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤶❤👑❤❤❤❤❤
In the early 1970's my father-in-law was awarded an MBE and he was so proud of the honour. He was an ordinary working man who worked hard in the electricity industry all his life and was also a special policeman, this ordinary man wouldn't have been so discourteous to the royal institution. Why do these so called celebrities who change their minds about receiving these special honours have to make such a fanfare over returning them when they could do it quietly without publicity. This sort of behaviour shows them in an unfavourable light.
Oh dear. I’ve always thought highly of Michael Palin and am now disappointed with his disrespect for our heritage and our monarchy. I will never see him the same way again.
Amen just leave American citizens along and don’t mess with the uk harry !!! I know they have Meghan where they want her….. I’m so proud of you King Charles and prince William
Hi Neil 👋👋👋🇦🇺🇦🇺 palin like most celebrities is a HYPOCRITE. another reason I don't watch abc Aus.
Hand back your CBE Mr Cox, we are not buying that you only hold onto it because your sister is a royalist. The honour was handed to you not your sister. Also Mr Cox, if you are such a great Scottish patriot, why is your main residence in the US and your second in England?
I worked at a theatre where Brian Cox started his career in rep. He was then, and continues to be, an arrogant big headed twerp. He worked alongside Dame Penelope Wilton, Sir Michael Hordern, and other luminaries of stage and screen. He now lives in New York, and would he realistically reject a knighthood if he were offered one? 😂 Sir Michael Palin accepted his knighthood in 2019; so what changed in those 5 years? I'd accept an honour, and I hope I receive mine when you receive your Neil, and then we can go for a cuppa and some jammie dodgers! ❤ 🙋♂️
They lost their mind because of money
I have little regard for these hypocritical so-called celebrities, stars or wherever and their nonsensical pontifications....they are meaningless.
Hypocrisy run amok, why accept an honour only to return it! Don’t accept it I the first place 🙄
I can't respond respectfully. Disappointed in M. P. 😢
Never taken to Palin, can't stand his voice or his delivery. Always turned off or over. As for Cox, he's a former SNP promoter. Thanks Neil.
That just makes me sad. No Michael Palin. Say it isn’t true. He won’t and I will boycott all his new endeavors
We are wary now of anyone referred to as Sir or Lady. Skeletons kicking their closet doors open every single day.
I wonder when Harry will actually leave the royal family for good.
Likes the HRH and titles too much
Never he needs titles and connection to make money
Yep...and 'merching' them!
The RF have left HIM for good.
@@preciousdevere288BYE BYE HARRY, WHAT A LOSER
I loathe people that are as loyal as a handful of sweaty $100 bills . Big 👋 wave Neil .
Oftentimes the general public likes an actor, singer, celebrity as long as they keep their political opinions to themselves. Once they speak out, yeah, not so much. Used to love Bette Midler, Cher, Barbra Streisand to name a few. Now, can't stand them. Their choice to make opinions public, our choice to just drop them!!!!
It appears these people trying to pander to both sides. In the end I think few buy what they are selling. Very sad behaviour.
ALL knighted persons should return them to. UK authorities they DONT deserve that respect. Hi Neil 👋👋👋👏👏👏 well said
🇦🇺🦘lost interest in watching him years ago. 👋👋👋👋🏖️🏄🏄🏻♀️👑Neil
Oh, sure…he did it for his sister. Right.
The Hell with them!
People who refuse royal awards should never be nominated or selected for this awards. There are many more people who really deserve this awards and would appreciate it.
Harry won’t leave the RF . Cause I think when he turns 40 he get a large amount of money. That’s why M is still with him .
Anne is in charge of the trust and changed the age to 45 for him to get it long ago.
Anne changed the age to 45 for him to get it and she is in charge of things
that could change
@@sonjadidyk-tn4cc Hope it's 105 year's.😅
I think though princess anne had control over it all.. think the queen see this coming and made preparations
Time to retire gentlement.
You're correct saying, "When it suits them". Like flags in the wind - depending on the direction it's blowing, it determines which face you will see. 👋
Well said, Linda.
So true👑🇺🇸
These are icons of British cinematography and television and they come out with this claptrap. Shame on them.
The Nigeria programme could have been very good but the endless Britain bashing was boring and utterly tiresome.
They don't have a mind of their own, they just go with the flow.
I never understood giving royal honors to most of the celebrity / entertainer recipients, what really have they done to deserve it ? Some don’t seem to have earned the honor nor do they appreciate it. What has become of us ? Where is the humility and loyalty ?
Lost respect for Brian Cox
I’m guessing your opinion and I agree wholeheartedly.
It shows what hypocrites these people really are. I stopped watching their shows a long while ago when I was young we used to call these sorts of people two-faced
They should be ashamed of themselves!
Hi Neil..Canada here.. Thank you for showing the hypocrasy of these two men. I am curious about how much thought, attention and time is put in by those making up these honours lists. Of course the reciepents can lie, which these men have obviously done.
Sean Connery did the same…Brian Cox lives in America, so why is he offered parts in this country, there are many excellent actors that can play those roles that live in this country.
Will not watch anything of theirs. Not from hypocrites !!!! Hope their ratings drop big time
Oh no, this is the kind of juvenile nonsense we were served up when the Beatles were young.
Sending you a big wave 👋 👋 👋 👋 Neil from across the pond Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
Never watch him for years , he obviously does not know this , our history .
Its baffling how people like this, with all their talents let the side down in the end by being so pathetic! They accept something they almost know they will reject in the end for a bit of cheap publicity! It would be far better if he were not so duplicitous ,and remained true to themselves instead of being a complete prat! He and others like him!
Good to hear from you, Neil.
Watching 'Arry and his bride is like watching the Titanic go down in S L O W motion. The ship is most definitely sinking. Greetings from down South in Alabama 🇺🇸. 🖐 Mississippi and Tennessee. I saw you here as well. Lovely as ever sweet Neil Sean ❤
Hi Everyone wherever you are from Tennessee USA! Hope everyone is having a good day 😊

Howdy neighbor 👋🏻👋🏻 Blessings from GA🤗
I have one thing to say to Brian Cox, a self proclaimed atheist. I am a God loving Christian who believes in eternal life, if I’m wrong, I have lived my whole life believing and knowing I’ll see my loved ones again, I if you’re wrong, God help you!
Indeed, and even if it turns out that he is right and you are wrong and that there is nothing after death, you will have done yourself no harm. However, if you are right and he is wrong, then, as you say, he will be in deep trouble.
Sending a wave 👋👋👋 Neil great video.
👋 👋 I look forward to your daily updates!!
Said it before, where is the due diligence for the people who are presented with an honor? As far as being upset by history, I doubt any country in the world doesn't have some past they are ashamed ed of. Can't cha ge the past, can make sure the "now" and future is corrected.
I would keep the medal rather than jump on some bandwagon...
Love your ability to just roll on when trains, announcement or any other distractions occur, Neil. These things always make me smile when you take everything in stride!
Strip Palins Knight hood - its been UN-EARNT !
👋👋👋
Thank you for this video.
Are these people now senile?
Good evening neil 🖐
Sounds a bit like "cutting off your nose to spite your face" as my grandmother used to say when someone did something like that!!
Hiya Neil 🌞 IMO these people need to trace slavery from its roots back in true history -including the white slave trade ( which still exists today!!),and recognise that the orignal slavers were phonecians/arabs- who kidnapped their own peoples to barter for goods around the world! All the way through those people who also sold themselves as indentured slaves ect,and then recognise the types of slavery as well as the eras and social moires that directed them.The doing away with latter day slavery was also enabled greatly by the British monarchy if they studied their history!! But I guess ignorance is bliss,despite one wishing that educated/ factually informed,considered opinions were given as well. One of the reasons why we prefer your journalism over the msm s sensationalism. 😊Waving to one and all,J.I.M.K Mrs. (Not Damien, his Mother. )Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
lol Neil the look on your face when the announcer came on, it made me realise just how much you put up with to bring us your delightful posts each day. Thank you I sure appreciate all you do.
I’ve never understood why the RF gives Titles and Knighthoods to celebrities. There are so many ‘normal’ citizens who do great things for their communities, schools, children, women’s shelters, abused children, etc. A great majority donate their time, just like the working royals. If the RF is handing out Titles, Awards, Knighthoods, they should do so with the Military and the humble working class heroes. Instead of the ultra wealthy recognizing people of wealth and fame they should zero in on those who actually make a contribution to society!
These titles are actually compiled and shortlisted by a government honours committee. So, the government decides, and they are handed out by the Monarch. These celebs are trying to lift a leg on the wrong tree. It goes to show how little they know about anything.
@@Sotto_ absolutely agree! They remind me of Markle - completely disingenuous and totally ungrateful. The best Karma would be if every single one of them woke up tomorrow and their millions were gone!
Very very disappointed 🙏
Hello Neil 👋👋👋👋👋👋🙏👍
👋🇺🇸✌️🍿

Recently rewatched British actor Joseph Fiennes in "Risen," (2016), a film directed by Kevin Reynolds. Encouraged such a gifted actor would be bold enough and brave enough to make a film about faith. FAR too many of these famous people behave as if they're much too cool for God, King or Country. Sad, really. #BrianCox #CBEWhenItSuitsHim
I’ve always been uncomfortable with two faced people. I used to live near a family that oozed charm and warm welcome. The door was barely closed behind you when the horrible comments came out. Simply mock and laugh at anything that they could think of. Rather disconcerting. So I try to stay as far away as possible from people like that. No sincerity. ♥️🇨🇦
This is why the RF should stop handing out awards as if they were handing out sweeties.
The little interruptions are what give the authenticity to your reports. I love them. It’s real life after all. 💖
Good I have gone off them. Hypocrites xx
