I fell asleep but I did hear her defending her position on sponsorship from fossil fuel companies. She said something like "I support climate change" presumably meaning the opposite but clearly having no interest whatsoever.

Gone back to listen to the bit. Did nobody notice this and edit it? Climate companies?

"..complain about sponsors BP and Shell and basically saying how can you allow climate companies to sponsor and it really started a big backlash of nominees pulling out. I'm just gonna say this very clearly. I really fully support climate change but at the same time these organisations have LGBT employees"
 
I've gone back in, currently dragging my way through the Diva awards, and I'm really starting to loathe the assistant

Hooting at the fact that the wrinkled bright red Diva awards suit is a result of Linda losing her suit in her luggage from NYC and then they found it and the assistant had to find someone to get it steamed, I'm guessing they didn't steam it

Also, if I was Linda I'd bleeping leg it away from Sinitta

will just add the additional clause she said after it because it made me honk

"but at the same time these organisations have LGBT employees, they have LGBT networks, and my work is about inclusion and I felt by discluding companies like that from taking part in these awards, you're not showcasing inclusivity"

Sure Lin, it's about the LGBT employees of BP and Shell and inclusivity. Not about the big cheques.

So is there any organisation she would disapprove of as long as they have LGBT employees? Wow what a massive get out clause to having a moral stance on anything.
Mind you Big Lin would be the most massive hypocrite on anything to do with climate change since she seems to fly across the Atlantic every couple of weeks.

I was gonna say. The film ends with her dropping everything to fly back from Miami to London after just getting there because Keir Starmer (shortly after he made her Labour LGBT Business Champion or whatever the title they gave her was) invited her to host a breakfast for 20 LGBT businesspeople the following day. And she said "I thought oh I can't do it I'm in Miami but I really wanted to not miss this opportunity" so she just fucks off back to London and apparently then flew back to Miami the following day? So maybe she does support climate change, she's certainly chipping in for it.

She’s probably one of those people that thinks that because the plane is going from London to Miami anyway she might as well be on it. Screw the Brazilian wetlands.
 
Another highlight for me was when she was doing a chat with the director outside the airport in Armenia on the way home, and she said "whatever comes of this documentary, it meant I got to come to Armenia" which slightly undermined the opening of the Armenia segment when she said "I'm going to Armenia to meet with [grassroots organisation]" as if the camera was just following her there
