I haven't had a chance to see White Girl, part of the BBC's "White Season", except in brief previews on the Web, but if the reviews in The Telegraph and Beaman's World are anything to go by, it is a drama that shows that in the eyes of the Beeb the white working class of Britain are a load of drunken, foul-mouthed, wife-beating, child-beating racists whose only salvation lies in embracing religion.Provided, that is, the religion is Islam.
This is no reflection on Muslims qua Muslims, but from what I've been able to glean, the BBC's storyline of knuckle-dragging chavs being redeemed by blemish-less mosque-goers is as deserving of a double take as a 1943 Rank film showing how English dock workers would be so much more pleasant if they were more like those nice Germans.

I'm impressed. Aghast, but impressed. At this exponential rate of self-loathing, the year 2016 will have (certain) Britons bringing the scimitar down on their OWN heads.
This is provided that the act is not the then-established Sharia government's prescribed mourning for the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, of course.
