Yes Gareth, the same BBC that gave us is latest production of Oliver
Twist casting a black girl as Nancy. Ideology over reality every
time.
---------------------
It wouldn't occur to you that she might have been the best actress at the
audition would it? I saw it and thought she was a brilliant Nancy and
don't see what difference it makes. I don't recall the line in the novel
"Bill Sikes' girlfriend, the poor white girl, Nancy....."

No Dave it didn't occurr to me that she was the best actress for the
job, not in a million years. Taking your logic a step further, how
about Hugh Grant *playing the part of Nelson Mandella, *now that would
cause riots amongst the Guardinista's .
As for
*"I don't recall the line in the novel "Bill Sikes' girlfriend, the
poor white girl, Nancy"
Silly me *I forgot the novel *Winston Twista was set against the
backdrop of the Notting Hill Carnival..
You still seem to be confusing fictional characters with real ones. Just to
clarify the matter, Nelson Mandela is a real person who is black and Nancy
was a fictional character whose race was, as far as I know, not specified.
So why have you such a problem with Nancy not being played by a white
person?

Simply this: The bbc are doing this all the time at every opportunity
they try and portray the world to suit their cringing self-loathing
view. *In these more enlightened days there would rightly be an outcry
to have a white actor play an obviously black character, but when the
other way round -and with the BBc this is happening increasingly , the
BBC (lefty white middle classes) feel thats acceptable as a price to
pay for Britains Colonial Past. *Personally I find it patronising and
at worst dangerous.
Anyhow my thread was about the BBC failing in their birch leaf
thrashing angst to report *on any climate news that contradict the
doomsaying AGW bandwagon. This is no mistake, it is because the BBC
and I 'll through in UKMO here; are incresasingly being lead by
ideology.
Now does anyone on this group have an explantion other than that; or
do you feel the BBC's coverge on climate is fair an impartial.?- Hide quoted text -

I know; I saw him tonite (sic) plucking his banjo, which he does
with some style. I don't think he's *ever* heard me play the trombone
because he does Trad and I do Big Band Swing and mainstream. He would
probably call my style rather poncy. His assessment is generous
though I can't imagine what it could be based on. Hearsay? The fact
that I often give him a lift home? You know, I think I'm going
bonkers.
