Peddling BLM propaganda in the Vicar of Dibley is shocking - even for the BBC
Vicar Geraldine Kennedy (Dawn French) takes the knee in The Vicar of Dibley
By Robert J Davies
JUST when you think the BBC can’t get any more blatantly biased, leftist and “woke” the broadcaster surprises you. And horrifies, in equal measure. But not even a cynic like me saw this one coming. The BBC is actually going to allow Dawn French, in the festive return of much-loved sitcom, The Vicar of Dibley, to give a fictional sermon in support of the extremist Marxist organisation Black Lives Matter. This is such a terrible decision on so many levels, it’s hard to know where to start.
Of course, the BBC will hide behind an ill-fitting mask of compassion and claim that it is perfectly fine for Dawn French, as vicar Geraldine Kennedy, to act in this way since it is in-character as a “right-on” clergywoman far more progressive in outlook than her conservative congregation. They will see it as striking another blow for racial equality, as if that’s all that Black Lives Matter stood for. Yet it isn’t and the BBC must know that by now. BLM is Marxist; it is nihilistic - it thinks nothing of rioting in the streets and picking fights with the police (which it hopes to defund); looting, overturning cars and toppling statues. It sees white people as patriarchal oppressors who should admit their guilt and stand aside. In short, it is a deeply divisive organisation and one which, frankly, if ever it got into the corridors of power, would pose a direct threat to Western civilisation as we know it. However much most of us might abhor racial discrimination, that does not make Black Lives Matter (now a registered political party) endearing. And certainly, the kind of decent, gentle, middle-of-the road, middle-England, middle-class folk likely to be watching The Vicar of Dibley this Christmas are NOT going to want to see their much-loved, fictional clergywoman taking the knee in the middle of the village green to the accompaniment of the church organ. This is supposed to be a comedy, for heaven’s sake! It’s not remotely appropriate and, bearing in mind the BBC’s obsession with BLM and woke causes this will stink of a deliberate attempt at further brainwashing.
It is all the more sinister, creepy and unpleasant that the BBC should seek to push their left-wing, diversity-driven, multicultural, white oppressor-black-oppressed message in this sort of context. They’ve already been insidiously subverting Countryfile, perhaps aware that rural areas are most in need of “re-education”. And comedy offers particular opportunities for pushing their mind-bending medicine by dipping it in mirthful sherbet, thereby masking its unpleasant taste. It is absolutely the sort of behaviour you would expect from a state broadcaster under the worst totalitarian regime. The irony is that while brutish black power will be venerated in this most unlikely of programmes, the Lord Jesus Christ to whom Geraldine the vicar should be answering to, won’t get a look in.
My feeling is that on this occasion, we should not merely shrug and let it go. It’s one outrageous step too far. Enough must finally be enough. Ring the BBC and complain. Email them, tweet them, bombard them with your disgust. For it is disgusting - and it’s our money, through the licence fee, which is funding it.
