Default From the brink of the abyss

I've noticed that al the 'usual suspects' the BBC, Guardian,
Independent and of course the son of a affluent professional marxist;
now whats his name ..ah yes the boy Ed Milliband and associates, are
all keeping very quiet about the remarkable recovery of the Arctic sea
ice.
I'm not too sure if Alastair and Dawlish posted-they usualy do if the
ice news is grim; but if never ceases to amaze me how all those that
are concerned that we heading for melt down stay silent when the
disaster is postponed.

The BBC are notorious for this but I digress the Arctic ice is
rebounding with seemingly,enthusiasm.

Just thought I'd make this point.

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....."

Quite right historicity is not a science. All the black slaves not
exported to Jamaica in time for the new Wilberforce laws earlier that
century would have been absorbed into the mainstream by Victorian
times?

Besides which whoever played it, the real life model would have been
so covered in soot and street grime that it wouldn't have been obvious
except on a BBC production.

In the meantime the lack of scientific talent at the Blue Peter output
end of things wouldn't have got lost entirely.

It's just that the facts the same scientists who brought us news of a
carbon dioxide increase of 70 parts per million also brought us news
of a mid day background level and news of a fall of 400 parts per
million of oxygen molecules (presumably apart from the CO2?) though
from watching either BBC, ITV C4 or 5, you'd still be ignorant.

Even reading the churlish nonentities such as that amoeba: Dawlish,
you would gain little insight.

Those two overlooked vital signs require the introduction of an
inverse law and that could get scientific.

Constant abuse is very tedious, W. Try another tack? Like predicting
the next Earthquake? I know it hurts a little when I ask the
impossible, because of your complete faliure to reply - mainly because
your outcome stats of 12.5% accuracy since April don't do you many
favours!

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?

So Oliver Twist wasn't fiction?
