The Liverpool Nativity.

I've just been watching this strange little production that's just been shown in the shadow of the valley of death that is BB3.

Put simply it is the re-telling of the nativity story brought bang up to date against the backdrop of modern day Liverpool. Joesph was a black asylum seeker, Mary was a poor little white girl waitress and Herod was a pastiche of a non-specific New Labour minister who was always cursing the "terrorists within".

Obviously this was a very provocative piece which raised many questions but mainly promoted the twin themes that all you should ever aspire to is getting married and having babies and that the Labour government is terrible.

As the program was shown on BBC3 a lot of those watching it will now leap on to their broadband connections to the discuss the issues raised while the state secretly takes notes.

The problem is that as taxpayers these same people have already paid a group of unelected civil servants to prevent Britain being threatened by by terrorists and flooded by asylum seekers.

These civil servants who are exclusively Conservatives have failed miserably to do the job they have been paid for. This is why there are still questions to be asked.
