Hi, apologies to Charlie for contacting you asking you to clear up the confusion regarding what was said last night. I went into a bit of a panic reading the reactions to what I said before Barry made the remark, I never considered that anyone would think I was discussing children because I had been quite clear that I was talking about my adult housemates that used to cook with weed.

Context, this was about 20 years ago and is just a funny story in our friendship group that I was relaying in the live, when I had used the last bit of we had to make gravy for the Sunday dinner. It was a lot stronger than we all expected and a couple of the group had a whitey and I joked they were rocking back and forth.

If you listen to the clip at that point Barry jumps on and makes that comment out of nowhere, I didn't even realise what he had said until after and you hear me say sorry I cleared the room - I thought my story had done that but it must have clicked with the others what he had said.

Barry came on the live last night and confirmed he did say that and apologised to everyone, but obviously none of us accept that or wish to have anything to do with him again and he won't be in our lives anymore.
Hi Jo, I do respect that you came here to offer an explanation. I can see why we all thought you were talking about children because Barry started talking about them - in a ridiculously abhorrent and random way admittedly but it gave the impression, the entire conversation was related to children.

I’m relieved it was adults and also that they consented to said gravy! Had Barry mentioned anything prior to your anecdote, that would offer some context to his absurd statement? Also, what happened after he finished speaking, as the recording cut off? Finally, what prompted Barry to play the recording yesterday, what forced his hand?

Guys, I'm freaking out, ok i have this irrational fear and superstition with magpies, this is going to sound like I've lost the fooking plot but, I salute every single magpie I see because I was raised by parents who drummed it into us that you had to or bad luck comes your way.
Well I'm sitting here in a world of my own and I heard tapping on my living room window and there's a bloddy magpie pecking to get in, so I've just stood for 5 minutes saluting the thing and doing the rant in my head 😭

I've always been told if one pecks your window it means something bad is going to happen, I hate s like that it freaks me out.. btw, if I dissappear I'm coming back as a magpie and I'm gonna be pecking all of your windows so you know it's me.

I think that was why I didn't even realise what he had said until it was played back to me, as it had no relation to what I was saying. Shortly after the recording ended Barry had a coughing fit and sounded like he was struggling to breathe and ended his live, so I went on live and people came into there and we were all really worried about him. But then people started speaking offline about what he had said and someone contacted me to ask if I had heard it. It probably sounds really strange that I didn't hear it at the time but when you're in the box it's different to speaking face to face, I lack concentration at the best of times but I really hadn't understood what he'd said which I why i thought it was my story that had cleared the room!

I honestly don't care if I get backlash for this because what he said has honestly knocked me sick as a survivor of childhood SA, but I noticed a picture in the background of one of his videos (one he was putting up a xmas tree) of two young girls, are these grandchildren? Daughters? It worries me that he has access to kids and coming out with s like that.

magpies in Eastern cultures actually symbolise good fortune, and are seen as spirit guides, it was actually the church that started the rumour that they were bad luck

You can see where our concern was coming from when kids were mentioned ? Why did Barry suddenly mention young girls? because that was totally off topic and it came out of no where, so again you can see why some of us feel your whole conversation was to do with children, your own children to be specific, and how long ago did this happen? because I would be pissed if you sat on it knowing he's giving pure vibes of being a predator/groomer.
You've got some balls jumping in here to clear things up, so fair play.
BTW.. drugging people without their knowledge is fed up tbh.

I was told it was because magpies would kill cattle by pecking their eyes out so farmers would salute them to stop it from happening. I hope I haven't spent years looking like a complete muppet for nothing. I even stop the car so I can salute them. 😭

If he said it to a black man at the zoo it would be racist. If he said it about a black person anywhere, anytime, any dimension in any context it is racist. Is it really difficult to understand for them! No it's not, they act dumber than they are, who knew that was possible, when it suits them. After orangutangate these dumb do racist fs know full well NOT to expect to get away with being racist for 1 second.
yes exactly. what flange was trying to do was compare like for like, but I had to point out that this did not happen in the zoo just for her information.

When I reflect on what I have have seen on Tiktok it pains me to see the way in which some people undermine the intergenerational trauma of a community of people and how this may live on in the consciousness of said people even as they continue to navigate through systematic racism.

This brings me to the point of why I like Paigey. I think she brings a lot of educational value to Tiktok. There isn’t a clear and shared understanding of some of the concepts and terminology used in conversations about race, or about racial disparity in the UK and she is able to clarify these in conversation (and through her poetry). Listening to her has actually led me to reflect on my own unconscious bias.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share.

I can understand to an extent that you didn’t process what he was saying. However, I would think people in the chat were likely reacting to what he said. Did you or others in the boxes see those comments? Perhaps Barry’s cough was a little too well timed and a convenient way to end the live and divert attention…

When you went live, did no one mention what he said in the boxes/comments, or was it all offline?
