Martin Lewis's acceptance speech was a cringe-worthy attempt at emotional manipulation.

Howard's speech at the BAFTAs was all about Scouser pride. He made it clear that his loyalty lies with Liverpool and not some vague sense of British unity or diversity. It’s a move to solidify support in Merseyside, but one that could backfire on him elsewhere.

Worse still, this kind of rhetoric is divisive at best—and outright exclusionary at worst.

Lewis’s reflection on his troubled youth during the Bafta ceremony felt less like an honest moment and more like calculated self-promotion. His backstory is well-known, yet he chose to revisit it in a high-profile setting where sentimentality can easily sway audiences into sympathy without substance. The real question here: Is Lewis using this platform for genuine introspection or just another way to milk his past trauma?

Subban’s donation is a PR stunt wrapped in charity.
