Having, as I do, one foot on each side of the Atlantic (and very uncomfortable it is too, at times), I cannot help but notice how much the US and the UK have in common. In each, for example, you are considered a little strange if you are not familiar with: men who used to hit balls with wooden sticks old men who burble about men and their balls men who giggle and gabble and want you to goggle men who smile as they tell you they tell you the news know-all do-nothings with questions to answer writers of fiction who read like dictators and, of course, the great leader whose principle is politics Oh, I could go on. I started by putting together a list, to show how interchangeable most of the celebrities that visit our TVs are, and the pairs of names just flowed, till I began to examine the list, as you do, for balance, and I noticed there was only one person of color (Trevor MacDonald); and no one poor; and no women at all ah, cultural diversity ain't it wonderful? |
