  • Encounters with the Neighbour in 1970S' British Multicultural Comedy
    Postcolonial Interventions, Vol. IV, Issue 1 Encounters with the Neighbour in 1970s’ British Multicultural Comedy Sarah Ilott “If you don’t shut up, I’ll come and move in next door to you!” Such was the frequent response to audience heckles made by Britain’s first well-known black come- dian, Charlie Williams (Leigh 2006). Williams’s response appropriated racist rhetoric of the time, in which the black neighbour was frequently mobilised as an object of fear, threatening the imagined homogeneity of for- merly white communities. Having frequently been on the receiving end of racist taunts such as “Get back to Af- rica” as a professional footballer for Doncaster Rovers in the 1940s and ’50s, Williams was able to claim some 14 Postcolonial Interventions, Vol. IV, Issue 1 of the power of the Teller of the joke through such put-downs, rather than solely occupying the position of the Butt of racist jokes and slurs. However, the fact was that Williams was forced to rely on self-deprecation and the reiteration of racial stereotype gestures to his need to find favour with the predominantly white audiences of the northern working men’s clubs that he toured and the mainstream audiences of ITV’s prime time hit, The Comedians (ITV, 1971-93), on which he was showcased alongside notable racists such as Bernard Manning. De- spite lamenting the “very stupid and very immature” tone of Williams’s self-mocking jokes, comedian Lenny Henry – who lived with the unfortunate legacy of what was expected of black comedians, particularly in the North – acknowledged that Williams did “what you’ve got to do if it’s a predominantly white audience – you’ve got to put yourself, and other people, down” (qtd.

  • Marriage Fifth Paper for Montana Church Workers' Conference 10
    Marriage Fifth Paper for Montana Church Workers’ Conference 10/2020 Deac. Mary J Moerbe God’s Word echoes throughout creation. (I love that image from Luther). And what happens? All over the world, throughout every age, most people look to get married. People look for a helpmate. They make a lifelong commitment to care for this one person of the opposite sex until death. This is not dependent on a church wedding or Christianity. Scripture never questions foreign or unbeliever marriages, but teaches that marriage is an institution given to humanity during the time of creation’s perfection. Interestingly, Adam had no choice in his partner, nor did Eve. In the beginning, God made one flesh and from it came the second. Then the two came together again in a way “to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion” (*Gen 1:28). God created them, brought them together, married them, and blessed them. He kept them in all the beautiful nuance of the ancient term. He made His face to shine upon them and was gracious to them. He lifted up His countenance upon them and gave them peace (Numbers 6:24-27). I don’t think it goes too far to say God keeps marriage. Marriage is the only relationship restricted to one other person, and, on this earth, it is decidedly marked with a beginning and an end. A man leaves his family to become one flesh with a woman. The two are united, bringing both sexes into a permanent relationship with lots of practical implications.

    AUSTERITY, AFFLUENCE AND DISCONTENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, .1951-1979 Part 5: “Love Thy Neighbour” Immigration and Race Relations, c. 1951–1979 Source 1: Black revellers confront the police during the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival riots 2 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent in the United Kingdom, c.1951–1979: Part 5 Introduction Before the Second World War there were very few non-white people living permanently in the UK, but there were 2 million by 1971. Two thirds of them had come from the Commonwealth countries of the West Indies, India, Pakistan and Hong Kong, but one third had been born in the UK. The Commonwealth was the name given to the countries of the British Empire. However, as more and more countries became independent from the UK, the Commonwealth came to mean countries that had once been part of the Empire. Immigration was not new. By the 1940s there were already black communities in port cities like Bootle in Liverpool and Tiger Bay in Cardiff. Groups of Chinese people had come to live in the UK at the end of the 19th century and had settled in Limehouse in London, and in the Chinatown in Liverpool. Black West Indians had come to the UK to fight in the Second World War. The RAF had Jamaica and Trinidad squadrons and the Army had a West Indian regiment. As a result there were 30,000 non-white people in the UK by the end of the war.1 The British people had also been very welcoming to the 130,000 African-American troops of the US Army stationed in the UK during the war.

It argues that an exploration of sitcoms reveals the mindset of postwar Britons and highlights how television developed both as an industry and as a public institution. This research demonstrates how Britain metamorphosed in this period from a welfare state with an implicit promise to establish a meritocratic and expert-based society, into a multiracial, consumer society ruled by the market. It illustrates how this turnabout of British society was formulated, debated, and shaped in British sitcoms. This dissertation argues that both democratization (resulting from the expansion of the franchise after World War I) and decolonization in the post-World War II era, established culture as a prominent political space in which interaction and interconnection between state and society took place. Therefore, this work focuses on culture and on previously less noticed parties to the negotiation over power in society such as, media institutions, media practitioners, and their audiences.

  • Bishop James Foley's Christmas Message
    Email: [email protected] 2020 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE You may need to be of my vintage or older to remember back to the days, or rather the nights, of Black and White Television, and that English satire ’Till Death Us Do Part with Warren Mitchell (more usually a fine Shakespearian actor) playing that cranky little man Alf Garnett. Well, in a Christmas episode Alf is telling his grand-daughter the Nativity Story, when she asked: Grandad, why was there no room in the Inn? (Lk 2/7) To which Alf’s long-suffering wife, ironing away in the corner, pipes up: Well, dear, we all know how busy it is at Christmas time! At which Alf gives her one of his withering glares and utters: Ah. cor blimey Else you silly old moo. Well what has that irreverent and tasteless piece of nostalgia to say to us for Christmas 2020? Its Luke’s Gospel which explains why there was no room in the inn on that first Christmas. It was Census night: the first ….. Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole world. This census - the first - took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David's town called Bethlehem, since he was of David's House and line, (Scripture scholars however do struggle to reconcile what is known of the dates of these population counts and their required places of recording.
