GB News guests ridicule 'silly' West Side Story trigger warning as they slam 'woke agenda'
Political commentators Andy Twelves and Alice Grant slammed the 1961 film's new 12A rating with trigger warnings for 'transphobic remarks'.
GB News political commentators Andy Twelves and Alice Grant criticized the British Board of Film Classification's decision to add a 12A rating to the 1961 film 'West Side Story', citing 'occasional transphobic remarks' as a trigger warning. During a GB News segment, the duo dismissed the move as 'silly' and part of a broader 'woke agenda' they believe is over-policing historical content. The classic musical, which won 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, now carries content warnings for outdated language and attitudes, sparking debate about how modern standards should be applied to legacy media. Critics argue such warnings sanitize history, while supporters say they provide necessary context for contemporary audiences.
