Jacqui Smith’s Porn Show Flashes Her Ignorance And Lays Bare Her Vanity

JACQUI Smith, who lost her job as Home Secretary and parliamentary seat  for massaging her expenses and having a husband who bought TV porn with taxpayer’s money, is to present Porn Again, a BBC radio documentary exploring the porn industry.

Of course, the professional porn industry is in peril, it’s glossy output being challenged by user-generated free porn.

But Smith will investigate. Although you know what her conclusion will be when she says that her husband has not watched porn since being caught. The message is that watching porn is worse than being caught watching porn someone else paid for.

“In making this programme, I’ve been able to challenge my own views and attitudes and I want others to have the chance to join the debate too.”

St Jamie Oliver’s Dream School Will Pity And Save The Poor

JAMIE Oliver’s mission to cure the fast-food classes of cheap protein (the miracle of the last 100 years) moves from their tum-tums to their heads. It is Oliver’s chosen lot to walk among the great unwashed – Northerners, Americans, the poor and the products of what the tabloids call “broken” society.

His new TV series is called Jamie’s Dream School. Jamie says he was “rubbish” at school. But he had parents who ran a thriving gastro-pub and inn in a lovely part of Essex. He had a passion for food and something to fall back on should a career away from the family not work out.

Glenn Beck Promotes Joe Richardson’s End Of Times Rubbish

JOEL Richardson has finally made it onto Glenn Beck’s show. For those British readers who’ve not been blessed by watching Beck in action, there’s  a good introduction here.

Richard Bartholomew takes a look at the story. As WorldNetDaily reports:

Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck today said Americans should be alarmed over the revelations of a WND Books product, The Islamic Antichrist, in which author Joel Richardson documents the similarities between the “bad guy” of the Bible, the Antichrist, and the “good guy” of the Quran, the Mahdi.

Richardson’s book discusses his analysis of the Bible’s account of the end times and that of the Quran, including his conclusions about the “Antichrist,” who is described by the Bible as the ultimate enemy of God and His people, the Jews and Christians. The Mahdi, meanwhile, in Islam is forecast to be someone who comes to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate.

The book has a cover blurb from Robert Spencer, and WND has puffed it on numerous occasions. Further:

Media Matters for America launched an immediate response, called, “Who is Joel Richardson, Beck’s End Times Prophet?”

The Big Fat Gypsy Weddings Fix And Other Daily Star Cons

THE Daily Star leads with news of a “TELLY CON”. It thunders from its front page that the hit telly show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings is a “FIX”:

By a photo of a bride and her neon bridesmaid, readers see the word “FIX”.

Cynics might think the Star was trying to pour cold water on Channel 4’s highest ratings since Big Brother in 2008 because it’s the sister organ to Channel FIVE.

But then you read:

A FORMER bareknuckle fighter from Big Fat Gypsy Weddings has been faking a TV tough guy image for years, he said yesterday. To viewers Paddy Doherty, 51, is a brawler who claimed he was “bred to fight”.

Indoctrinating Muslim Children With Hate And Violence In A British Madrassa

CHANNEL 4′s undercover investigation into life at the UK’s madrassas made for grim viewing. In Lessons in Hate and Violence, we saw children engaging in and being the victims of casual violence; institutionalised racism; and adults seeking to ingrain in their charges a sense of cultural and moral superiority.

Richard Bartholomew reviews:

MUCH of the programme focused on Darul Uloon al-Islam, a full-time secondary school in Birmingham which has in the past been visited by MPs and various officials. Footage shows an older student leading an assembly as preaching practice, in which he explains that Hindus have no intellect because they “worship cows”, and that they “drink the piss of a cow”.
