This is true. This was considered the height of comedy and was a massive hit for BBC.
It still causes harm today as some people rush to say "I'm black and don't find this racist" in comments under videos and white people championing these skits as witty satire.

I wish I was David Walliams biggest hater but I'm sure his victims and the thousands impacted by his bigotry.
So many kids were subjected to the cruel jokes their peers and adults repeated after seeing it on the BBC.
The cultural impact was total as it indulged the British hobby of punching down

When I say Walliams sexually assaulted teens and minors on stage as part of a skit I'm not kidding.
When I tried to find the video of it I found it was blocked due to breaking YouTube guidelines on sexual content.
It's from the Des Kaye character and the part of the skit called "Hide the sausage"

The eagerness to call us "biological males" was pretty alarming!
Ignoring the fact that "biological sex" is a loaded, political term pushed by Gender-Conservatives to treat trans people as unnatural---my biology has fucking changed! That's kind of the point!

Like, at first glance, I thought a fucking TERF had written it. It took me a little bit to realise this was a cis "ally" "defending us"
Stop this and actually fucking LISTEN to trans people and look up the science and stop doing this. It hurts us and we don't appreciate it

It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives.
And cis "allies" still think this helps.

Brilliant news from Aotearoa New Zealand, where trans health professionals have won an interim halt to the country's politically-driven puberty blocker ban. Wishing them all the best for further legal action.
PATHA's statement follows: “This is a win for trans young people, their whānau, and the health professionals who care for them. The High Court has recognised the harm this ban will cause, and the significant issues in the decision Cabinet made to restrict access to this life-saving care.”

Resident doctors in England have begun five days of strike action after rejecting the government’s latest offer to resolve the long-running dispute over pay and jobs.
The British Medical Association (BMA), and the health secretary, Wes Streeting, met on Tuesday in a final attempt to reach an agreement, but failed to do so. Continue reading...

As the year of 2025 comes to a close, I'd just like to remind everyone that pulling your eyes into a slant is racist. The gesture has always been racist, and there is no interpretation where it's not.

I keep thinking of Beth Upton today, who won against an absolutely foul, racist bigot, and should be having the best day, but is still being monstered by our entire media, for the crime of merely existing as her authentic self and doing a job in the NHS that helps people, all day every day.
#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:
"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."
No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.
This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

I know I've said this before but it is in your cold, hard business interest to make a space welcoming to the largest number of people possible. a handful of bigots will not keep your pub alive, even if that's what you want to welcome.

Been to a pub and had a lovely chat with one of the people running it about how important it is to be welcoming to trans people. I think more pubs could learn that being a community asset involves welcoming everyone, not just your mates.

We all know the HR answer to this will be don't hire trans people ever. Which won't be much of a change coz it's pretty much what they already do.
HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.
They are a threat to every organisation.

The tribunal seemed very unimpressed by the fact that Peggie waited around to challenge Upton, and considered this an impermissible manifestation of her beliefs.
An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.
