That Gary Linekar and SPOTY is annoying me tonight

It’s like they have tried to tick every box possible re diversity tonight and the blatency (am pretty sure that’s not even a word!) is just making me cringe... it’s just.so.obvious! Every Liverpool fan they interviewed was from a minority group... women, gay, black, Asian... then pan to the crowd and they’re all white men. It just wasn’t representative. Surely that’s the goal? To be representative of society? It just annoyed me that they’re trying sooooo hard to be PC that it’s actually coming across as false. To put a spin on things I am actually from a minority group myself so this is not a right wing rant -far from it. If equality is to be truly achieved then surely it shouldn’t be so.... false? Rubbed in everyone’s face? Does this make sense? Oh and it’s just Gary Linekar’s chin that’s annoying me. Wish he’d get rid of that stubble Hmm maybe I’ve got PMT

Haven't seen SPotY yet, but I was watching HIGNFY from last week earlier, and, once again they had Grayson Perry on, and the same thoughts came into my head.
The man doesn't contribute anything witty or clever to the programme (which is the point of the programme). He isn't a politician or journalist or commentator or comedian. He has an annoying laugh but that might just be me but he gets invited on every series because he appears in public dressed as a woman.
Really does seem to be a bit of a box ticking thing.

He’s annoying to me. The word smug comes to mind. Heard a few stories as well but don’t to be sued for libel
