This week Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah was welcomed back to the UK by a âdelightedâ Labour government, who said his case had been âa top priorityâ.
One person who should presumably be very happy about all this is Olivia Colman, one of many celebrities to take part in the âFree Alaaâ campaign:
Below you can see her in a video with other A-listers (Carey Mulligan, Mark Ruffalo, Rebecca Hall, among others), reading an essay Abd El Fattah wrote âwhen his son was born, and brought to visit him for the first time in prisonâ, titled Half an Hour with Khaled:
Could this be her finest performance to date? I love how she makes Abd El Fattah sound like heâs from East Dulwich.
In general, I canât help noticing that Olivia Colman has quietly become the new Emma Thompson (as if one Emma Thompson wasnât enough). Thompson also campaigned for Abd El Fattah to be released (OBVIOUSLY), and thatâs not the only cross-over campaign theyâve taken part in (as youâll soon see).
Behold, Iâve decided to treat everyone with some of Colmanâs ghastly left-wing activism (and you thought Christmas was over):

Colman teams up with Starmer - to teach boys about masculinity
Colman and her hubby (pictured below - with their pronouns so you can work out whoâs who) are patrons of the charity Tender, which harnesses âthe power of drama and the arts to educate children, young people and adults about healthy relationships.â
Tender received nearly ÂŁ4 million in taxpayer funding between 2021-2025, and was tasked with producing guides to go with the Netflix series Adolescence.
One of its teaching resources seems to suggest âbraggingâ leads to genocide:
Very reassuring that these people are coming into schools.
Anyway, since when was Olivia Colman the expert on masculinity?
Colman backs random foreign climate activist
Last year, Colman and Emma Thompson (obvs), as well as other actors and musicians, called on the Home Office to reconsider the âharsh deportationâ of Marcus Decker, a German climate activist.
In an open-letter, the actor-vists wrote:
âWe believe that punishing him [Decker] with deportation in addition to the 14 months he has already spent in prison is out of proportion to the crime committed and unconducive to the public good.â
As far as Iâm aware, Decker is still in the country. WoohooâŚ
Colman backs posho open-border charity âChoose Loveâ
Readers of my Substack will know Iâm not the biggest fan of Choose Love, a charity that claims âLove Has No Bordersâ.
Many celebrities are involved with it. Iâve never seen any of them mention the near-weekly incidents of migrant crimes in this country. They just tell people to âChoose Loveâ - because that must mean we live happily ever after. Hereâs Colman doing the same:
So there you have it. I think we can all agree that Olivia Colman has become the new Emma Thompson. But which of her activist campaigns is the worst?
More:
Hard to decide which is worst, they're all ghastly and run by people who have truly lost their minds.
Shouldnât this instruction be given to the grooming gangs ? What am I missing ?
