| BBC Season to Examine Britain's 'Under Siege' White Working Class The BBC is to provoke controversy with a series of programmes exploring Britain's "under siege" white working class.
The BBC2 season includes a drama, White Girl, from Bafta-winning screenwriter Abi Morgan, about an 11-year-old who moves with her family to an entirely Muslim community in Bradford and ends up wearing the hijab. At first, she feels isolated by the fact she and her two siblings are the only white children in their school. But she finds a refuge of calm and safety in the Muslim faith which is lacking at home.
She is befriended by a young Asian neighbour and shocks her family by adopting Muslim dress. The BBC described the film as "provocative and emotional" and "a tender exploration of Islam through the eyes of a child". The girl, Leah, is played by newcomer Holly Kenny, with Bleak House star Anna Maxwell Martin as her mother and Bread actress Melanie Hill as her grandmother. Jade Islam plays the young neighbour.
A second programme set in Bradford is documentary Last Orders, about the "embattled" Wibsey Working Men's Club. "With high unemployment and a perception that recent Asian immigrants receive the lion's share of Government benefits, members feel that their very community is under threat and that racial tensions could erupt at any time," according to the BBC. All White In Barking is a documentary exploring prejudices in the multi-cultural east London community.
It features lifelong Barking residents, Susan and Jeff, who have never even said hello to their Nigerian neighbours because "they are not our people". Elsewhere, Rivers Of Blood assesses the impact of Enoch Powell's infamous speech, while The Poles Are Coming takes a "subversive" look at the reality of immigration in Middle England, with local leaders from Gdansk travelling to Peterborough to plead with their countrymen to return home.
There you have it the Islamification is gaining unprecedented speed here in the UK, and it comes to something when a white British girl ends up wearing the hijab because she felt isolated in her own country as the whole community is Muslim in that area!
No doubt as with all BBC documentaries it will be biased and placing Native Britons as the bad crowd and everyone else as victims! |
