This is the REAL racism on Channel 4

Any opportunity to flaunt their 'anti-racist' credentials, while remaining blithely indifferent to the latest evidence of the very real threat Islamic fanaticism poses to the safety and security of our society. For crying out loud. Channel 4 News, which completely ignored Dispatches, has been filling its boots with Big Brother 'racism'. In India, where no one has seen it either, effigies of Big Brother's producers have been burnt in the street by an 'angry mob' of half a dozen layabouts from central casting rounded up for the benefit of the British TV cameras. If you believe the hype, this is a rerun of the ridiculous Danish cartoons episode. Which it isn't. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of the Indian people couldn't give a monkey's. If anyone is to blame, it's Shilpa Shetty's agent, who should have watched a few old videos of Big Brother before pitching her into this mindless menagerie and exposing her to the high priestess of the slagocracy. Still, it allows everyone to revel in their own self-righteousness and gives the Guardianistas the chance to lord their moral superiority over Britain's burgeoning underclass of 'white trash' (no racism, there, then). We're told there have been more than 20,000 phone calls of complaint. I imagine every handset connected to the Endemol switchboard has been on speed dial. The show might have lost its sponsor, but there'll be another one along in a minute. Most depressing of all is that off the back of this artificial outrage, the viewing figures for Big Brother have risen to 5.7 million. Meanwhile, Dispatches: Undercover Mosque attracted only 1.5 million viewers. It deserves a wider audience. If you missed it, you can catch the programme again tonight - or rather in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Set your Sky+ or video recorder for 3.30am - straight after Celebrity Big Brother Live.

Interesting Carol. I will be watching that programme. I think you speak a lot of sense btw xx
