A well-known face from television adverts has launched a surprising attack on diversity, pronouns and gender identity labels.
Howard Brown from the Halifax adverts has recorded a ‘protest song’ written by comedian Dominic Frisby.
In it, he blasts ‘fake diversity’, unconscious bias training, and pronouns, repeating: ‘What happened?’
Taking a swipe at gender identity labels, Howard sings: ‘Why do you hector me with your identity?’ and ‘Is there a new pronoun every day?’
The video begins with Howard saying: ‘You know: I was brought up to believe that the customer is always right. That a business is there to serve a customer, to improve their situation.
‘And if the business does that well, it gets rewarded with more customers. It didn’t started lecturing people about politics and stuff.’

He continues: ‘I’m not outspoken, but I feel I must speak out. I need to know what all this madness is about.’
Elsewhere he says: ‘Everybody’s scared of being attacked,’ and ‘Suddenly opinions are now facts’.
‘Seems we are descending to new lows,’ he adds.
The video ends with office workers bowing down to a deified picture of Greta Thunberg.
Discussing the song on TalkTV, Howard said: ‘A lot of people just seem to be angry at the moment.’

‘It would be nice to just highlight the issues we’re having in a fun way,’ he added.
Howard continued: ‘People should be able to voice their opinions, we’re not all going to agree with each other, but we can do it in a respectful way and I think that’s the most important thing.’
