Like David Bowie did on stage.

FWIW, Mel Gibson is American, as indeed is Nicole Kidman. ( And Olivai Newton-John was born in England - so much for famous Aussies ). The issue is that people are influenced by what they see on the screen, and many will view historical depictions as factually accurate, ( Braveheart is a case in point, it is historical hogwash ). I think that the casting of this new production of Wolf Hall is more to do with "colour blind" casting and preventing comments to the effect that there are not any prominent non-white roles in the show.

Out of interest I have just calculated the league table for the period of our fabled unbeaten run. We got 54 points from those 23 matches., during which time Leicester got 57 points from 24 and Leeds 53 from 24, so effectively we didn't close the gap to them at all. We did, however close the gap to and overtake Ipswich.

No more wins either.

Work it out.

But at least you can see where you are going.

Whilst three of the World's major religions view it as Holy land, gifted to them by God, ( ironically, in effect the same God ), there won't be peace.

Most Muslims killed in conflict are killed by other Muslims.

Going to miss this one as I have to go to collect some carved wooden models I am exhibiting at an Arts and Crafts show. Hopefully that means the bastards will win to rub my nose in it for not watching. ( Mind you, I did also miss Sunderland away ! )

So, would it be OK for Daniel Craig to play Nelson Mandela ?

WSS is saying that because Hamas has issued a Fatwa all the people in Gaza are compelled to support it. This, as an interpretation of Sharia, I believe, is incorrect.

Oh. I am keeping up. A Fatwa is issued usually, though not exclusively, as an interpretation of scripture by a Mufti. It is open to debate and opposition, and importantly is non-binding. In this case, it is Hamas' interpretation of how a Fatwa works that leads them to imply it is compulsory.

Since when has Israel been issuing fatwahs under Sharia Law ?

The Arabic peoples are Semitic.

I refer you to my previous response to your false equivalence.

Of course they are real. When I was at Bitterne Park Juniors I once had a dream where Daleks took over the school until a herd of T Rex's came out of a volcano and destroyed them. Please don't destroy my illusion.

Final series of Discovery now appearing on Paramount.

Dramatising a novel is one thing, rewriting historical fact to pander to a particular mindset is another. None of the Seymours or Boleyns were anything other than white Caucasian in character. Yes there were people of colour in London at the time, probably some at Court, but they were not part of the dynastic manoeuverings within the Tudor palaces. What if The Crown had cast a non-white actor as one of the Queen's relatives ?
