# ROBBIEWILLIAMS

The entertainer realised his song for the season to be jolly, ‘ Can’t Stop Christmas’. @ angedownunder08 said: “This makes me SMILE so much! Santa’s on his way & now he’s 2 metres away Thanks for making a clever, funny Xmas song out of this crazy year!”

@ jamesmelville tweeted: “Brilliant song. Punchy and Christmasy!”

@ benscribbles diagreed: “Have people not suffered enough?”

@ yt_ wombey replied: “I would rather have a rather creative song that makes light of this eventful year be top of the charts than the third consecutive ‘ funny’ parody of an existing song with lyrics about sausage rolls.”

“Obviously you can’t stop Xmas – but in the middle of a pandemic most people could celebrate without mixing ( with a scheme for single people to temporarily bubble with testing).”

@ nocnotextrw replied: “You’ve misinterpreted the song. The sentiment of the song is that you can cancel things/ bad things happen but you can’t cancel Christmas spirit. It’s supposed to be a bit of fun to cheer people up.”

# ACTUALLYAUTISTIC

Singer Sia has cast a nonautistic actor to play a person on the spectrum.

@ margauxjoffe sighed: “Sigh. Yet another example of Hollywood casting a non- disabled actor to play a disabled character. When doing a film about autism, hire # Actuallyautistic folks to work on it.”

@ bronaghwaugh added: “People with disabilities are not broken and don't need fixing. Many of my friends have different disabilities and they are some of the coolest, most talented, funny, kind, intelligent people I know.”

@ redhomicide replied: “She's not trying to say that people with special abilities are broken. She's saying that they are special and have their beautiful perspective.” @ reamfacedloon wrote:

“A movie about an ( XYZ) character does not have to represent, portray or even flatter every individual in the ( XYZ) community, or reflect their life experience. It’s one story.”

@ clarerhian wrote: “You couldn’t cover autism in one role. It just wouldn’t be fair to those on different points of the spectrum. Celebrate that @ Sia is putting it out there so people will sit up and listen. ”
