The War on the English: A Case Study in the Culture of Critique, Part 1
(The Occidental Observer) -- by Brenton Sanderson --
In the last fifty years the culture of critique has reengineered public discourse in the West so successfully that laudatory references to European ethnic groups, such as the English, are today widely held to be morally repugnant. This reality is confirmed by the recent experience of Brian True-May, the co-creator of the internationally successful television series Midsomer Murders. One of most successful British cultural exports of the last decade, Midsomer Murders draws large audiences around the world – particularly in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The long-running series is known for its quaint English village setting which provides the backdrop for classic (if clichéd) murder mysteries.
The program made international headlines in March when True-May was suspended by ITV. Asked in an interview to account for the show’s international success, he said his winning formula was quite simple: keep it as English as possible. He pointed out that the series simply ‘wouldn’t work’ if there was any racial diversity portrayed in the sleepy village set in the fictional county of Midsomer. ‘We just don’t have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn’t be the English village with them,’ he told the Radio Times. ‘It just wouldn’t work. Suddenly we might be in Slough … We’re the last bastion of Englishness and I want to keep it that way. Maybe I’m not politically correct … I’m trying to make something that appeals to a certain audience, which seems to succeed. And I don’t want to change it.’
Predictably enough, an ITV spokesman immediately issued a statement: ‘We are shocked and appalled at these personal comments by Brian True-May which are absolutely not shared by anyone at ITV. We are in urgent discussions with All3Media, the producer of Midsomer Murders, who have informed us that they have launched an immediate investigation into the matter and have suspended Mr True-May pending the outcome.’ ITV was captured by the Judeo-Marxist establishment long ago, and Jewish editorial control at ITV has been ensured for the next generation with the recent appointment of the 32-year-old Jonathan Levi as head of ITV’s arts and popular culture division. The situation at the BBC is little different...MORE...LINK
