    I forgot about Power. Am on the last series of that now but its run its course. Hope this is the last.

    Watching series on terrestrial TV now and having to wait a week is a proper ball ache. Can't see that lasting another 12 months

    Top Boy - watched it over the past couple of weeks, liked it because of where it was set, however, found it hard to have sympathy with the characters, especially season 3. I hated everyone apart from Sully. And I don't want to make a political point but it's not a coincidence that season 3, after a decade gap in this current climate, portrays all the black single mothers as angels, the drug dealer loving dads/guardians as "hustling a living" whilst white people are to blame for everything and untrustworthy devils (even the poor skagheads were wronguns).

    I can assure you Asian people of all description (not just Bruce Lee) are the most racist towards black people i've ever come across. And yes there's lots of white racists in London too... they're called East Europeans... and geriatrics.

    No you are Wrong. When I told Gandalf that some of the most racist things I have ever heard, came out of the mouths of Asians, he assured me there were no Asian racists in the world and also assured me I did not know any Asians. So my Asian step-mother of almost 40 years is obviously just a figment of my imagination.

    ( She is not a racist by the way )

    Chernobyl is absolutely fucking brilliant. Shame it's only seven or eight episodes long.

    I would highly recommend the first two plus series of Gomorra, a show about the Neapolitan mafia. Series three is actually OK too but series four starts to go downhill, very predictable painting by numbers stuff. I still have one or two episodes of it to watch and I'm not sure I will. Probably will at some point. The first series though are fantastic.

    I'm sure I've seen something else in between those shows but can't remember.

    You seem to be hung up on this. I think there are no Asian racists? And no I do not consider your Asian step mother who lives where exactly an authority on billions of Asian people. Sorry about that.

    I come across a new crop of hundreds of Asians every year and in work and in society don't see much of this racism. However, as I pointed out, some countries are very different to others and you are dealing with a lot of Asians.

    It is true that most people of any race prefer to marry within their group though and that applies to any race, but most of the people I know are married to Asians despite not being Asian and the kids don't face many bullying issues or anything like that.

    In London perhaps there is a reason why different groups are suspicious of one another. For instance the prison population is 14% black despite being only 3% of the population. It creates distrust and different communities tend to stick to their own in a multicultural society. If a certain demographic is more likely to carry out crime etc, then it breeds suspicion.

    Edit: Blacks are 3% of the total population, so in London there are obviously a lot more black people and they make up a significant prison population at 14% of the national total. I am sure the genuine Asian prison population is much lower. Asians tend to have stronger families, better education etc, so if one group is not nurturing children and criminality is much higher then you can see why some among them might think negatively about sharing a city with those who cause a lot of crime and nurture less. I am sure some white bloke up in Rotherham doesn't think too highly of changes in his community too. Is it racism? Maybe, but that seems to be a natural consequence of unregulated multiculturalism.

    So, I don't really see that as being beyond the pale in terms of attitudes. Al for instance has his views and Beanz would call it racist, but it hasn't emerged from a vacuum. Any group can be and is racist. In fact it is almost a badge of honor to move to England and not integrate. That too is terribly racist.

    I don't see the argument, but Fenster seems on point to point out propaganda in television in the main post that kick started this.

    God father of Harlem has been great.

    Animal Kingdom... fucking wicked. Its based very lightly on an old matriarch bitch we get to see occasionally and hear a lot about (Kath Pettingill. They should make a true one about the Petingill crime family out here,her eldest son was literally the right hand man of the devil himself.

    Birthday movies? Boxing day too.

    I watched One Step Beyond, from season 1 called "The Navigator" (release date April 14th 1959)

    Watched most of that lost is space season 2 on Netflix. It’s corny and campy but for some reason you can get into it. Every time I see the robot protecting the kid saying “danger will Robinson” I think of me protecting miles. Miles had done so much for all of us, we are all indebted to him.
