We should all read Persepolis again.

Americans, now is the time to seize control of your destiny

"write from the heart" no. write from the writhing snakes in your gut. write like you've just been slashed open and it's all spilling out. write like you are about to die

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.
