Whoopi Goldberg has joined the chorus of people calling on the royal family to apologize

for their colonial past, insisting that the crown cannot 'ignore the fact that Britain ran

roughshod over India for years' - just one month after she was suspended from her ABC

talk show The View for saying that the 'Holocaust wasn't racist'.   



An 80-year-old retired vicar who blocked the entrance to a Ministry of Defence site as part

of an Extinction Rebellion protest has had her conviction quashed - because she was

'exercising her right of freedom of expression'.   



England boss Gareth Southgate says he does not see the benefit of boycotting the World

Cup. Qatar's human rights issues have come into the spotlight ahead of the tournament

this year and teams are being put under pressure to speak out against them. Southgate

spoke with his squad earlier in the week about the issues but says that not participating in

the tournament would have little effect.  



Ricky Gervais is reportedly set to shock audiences with his most controversial show yet,

which will take on 'woke cancel culture', according to reports.  The comedian, 60, is said

to have held a secret show in front of an intimate audience where he teased some new

material for his upcoming tour, Armageddon, having previously revealed he hopes the tour

gets him 'cancelled'.
