I'm sick & feeling sorry for myself, so to cheer myself up here's my favourite story about film & TV censorship
James Ferman was the Director of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) from 1975 to 1999.

As a trans person with an decidedly asymmetrical face due to a childhood illness, I really wish people wouldn't dunk on Graham Linehan for his appearance, or equate his appearance with the presence or lack of moral virtue. It sucks to read and makes people with visible difference feel like shit.

Boss of a small regional office decided that he liked the idea of everyone staying an extra 10 mins after their shifts to fill in an online form listing five things they did that day. He changed his mind very quickly after just one email from Unite the Union. Join a union.

People don't have to be good or nice to you no matter what you do. People can make a conscious choice to harm you for no reason and feel no remorse regardless of how good or innocent a person you are.

Gone far too soon. And very much worthy of celebration. I remember interviewing him years ago round the start of his collaborations with Isobel Campbell. He had a deserved reputation as a less-than-easy subject, but was worth the challenge.

![Screenshot of a post in my local facebook group. It reads:
"Did anyone spot anything odd going on around the bottom end of [Ive redacted the street names] last night (Thurs 26/09) between 21:15 - 21:40 ish? Large white Merc van, a number of dogs and cats in the rear in carry cages. A woman in an orange hi-viz jacket and two men chasing a youngish looking smokey grey coloured cat with four white paws and white under its chin area. Does this cat belong to anyone? After much chasing they put it in a cage in the back of the van. Dogs were barking in the back of the van. Anyone seen a large white Merc driving slowly around the area with a dodgy registration plate ending DOG? It has writing on it saying something like 'Charity van' and got dog paw designs on it. Not sure what was going on!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fcfyg4tcomrq33skw4aqicwt/bafkreic24ah56wqm2qvwewex4fwvqy3mcrmqrwpr7ewlvqtgketpvtpasm@jpeg)
