Most videos on this BBC The Social Channel have one or two replies. This video has nearly 23,000 which are mostly hateful. Ask yourself what conditions have been created that people are *so angry* about a poem about a difficulty some people experience https://t.co/9rYOCqJxT0

Direct from @CircusDiaries: @OTT_Theatre's #Coulrophobia, named after the fear of clowns, is fun, frantic & strongly stakes a claim for clowning in popular culture @MimeLondon @jacksons_lane

Joseph Hillier was an accomplished #acrobat & equestrian. The press often referred to him as a “Gentleman of Colour.” He became an equestrian director in 1842, the same year that Pablo Fanque became the first black circus proprietor in Britain. #CircusTalk https://t.co/B1jBU8Bmrj
