i'm not an expert on charity law, but the minimum criteria required by any organisation to retain their charity and tax-free status (as defined on the uk government's own website) is most certainly not being met by the wtbts/jw's.. the pdf flowchart on this page of the web site should convince most thinking people that the wtbts is not acting for the public's best interests:.

the wtbts/jw "charity" is a self-serving entity whose sole purpose is to perpetuate its own existence via the recruitment process of new members by existing unpaid members..
The WTBTS/JW "charity" is a self-serving entity whose sole purpose is to perpetuate its own existence via the recruitment process of new members by existing unpaid members - yes, we see it this way. And I guess most people may agree with us.
But, to JWs the WTS is God's unique channel and perpetuating itself in order to do God's will and 'bring the good news to people'.
The hold of religion is very strong, I'm afraid.
99% of the people who go to bond films want a straight white english bond with a bit of light sexism and some bond girls thrown in.
they do not want a tranny bond or a gay or lesbian bond.
and they do not want a black woman bond.
But I think - Black, Hispanic, LGTB, people would LIKE to see characters who represent people who look are live like they do - this is a weird way of thinking, if you think about it.
What about Jewish basketball fans? Do they need 'representation' (i.e. more Jewish players on court) or are they ok with seeing mostly African-American players doing their thing?
Look, believe it or not, I've actually got no problems with a black female 007 in theory.
But, let's be honest, we've seen several movies and tv programs be remade according to trendy opinion, and we've seen these trendy opinions be elevated above decent story-telling, plots and character development.
As long as good plots, story telling, character development, etc. are put above identity politics, I'm cool.

I think it’s excellent and can’t wait to see what comes of it - but you haven't seen it because it hasn't come out yet.
It may be excellent, it may be a piece of crap.
'two camps of snowflakes' - oh yeah, great way for a film company to view large swathes of its audience. XD Telling some of your customers 'hey, you suck, you bigot, but please give us your money and watch our film'.
We'll see how good it is when it comes out ...

offensive politically incorrect words.🤭.
Manhole sounds questionable - I want to see some pictures of ladyholes.

Salih Khater has recently been sent to jail for attempted murder. He drove his car deliberately at the police and pedestrians.
He is an immigrant from Sudan, the UK granted him asylum from that regime.
Would it be racist to tell him to go back where he came from?

No one knows why they chose a female Bond - there cannot be a female Bond. Please see my previous post about artists and intellectual property.
Just to spell it out, here's another example: the character of Rocky Balboa can only be an Italian-American man. Sly Stallone created the character and that's how he's written. In Rocky (1976) Apollo Creed says at the press conference:
Apollo - Hey Rock, my main man, come here. Ain't you Italian?
Rocky - Yeah, I'm Italian.
Random journalist - So what does that mean?
Apollo - It means, if he can't fight, I bet he can cook.
Also, Mickey calls Rocky a 'dumb Dago'.
So, Hollywood can't change Rocky Balboa. They could introduce a female boxer into the Rocky universe, perhaps.
Afterburn has it right - the new film is about a female 007. This shouldn't be a problem because there have been female heroes (there's a word for female heroes - heroines) in film for decades - see Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Nancy Thompson, Trinity, Jackie Brown, etc. etc.
There could be an issue if the new 007 film is written poorly and identity politics is shoved down the audience's throats - see Ghostbusters (2016) and The Last Jedi (2017). I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

If Trump told British-born comedian John Oliver to go back home, would that be racist?

it was common to hear people saying to other people who appeared to be of Asian ethnicity,''Paki go home'' ''Fuck off back to Pakistan'' or to people who appeared of African ethnicity, ''Get back to the jungle where you came from'' - but Trump didn't say 'Paki' or any other term of abuse. He didn't say go back to the jungle, either.
If Trump told Arnold Schwarzenegger to 'go back home' would it be racist?
