My film script, the BBC and Nick Griffin

Ok! In case you’re wondering what I’ve been up to? Well, I’ve finished my film script and sent it off to the BBC. So, this is when the real drama begins. I will be sending it out to other agencies, but I wanted to see what kind of advice I will get from the mother of all live broadcasts! I’m about to do a piece for the British Writer’s competition and perhaps, Muslim writer’s Awards. My eldest Eemaan has just turned thirteen and managed to meet the deadline for ‘My voice right or wrong bursary. I hope she gets it Insh-Allah!

Talking about the BBC...Oh dear! I watched Question Time last night. What can be said about Nick Griffin??!! I believe the BBC was right in allowing him on the panel. It exposed him for what he really stood for! He was mixing with the big boys now and they wiped the floor with him last night. His views were not just outdated but highly embarrassing. We’re living in the 21st century! Not colonial times! As the Asian gentleman rightly pointed out to Nick Griffin and his cronies they should all be shipped out to Antarctica to live their lives!

A premature Nobel win for President Obama?

As much as I would like to think President Obama deserved the Novel Peace Prize. I can’t help but wonder if he was given it prematurely. What with the war in Afghanistan, Palestine, and so many other unresolved issues around the world. He still has so much to prove as said in his famous speech `change’ is the way forward.

Perhaps it would have been wiser to have given it to one of the other six worthy nominees. Dr Denis Mukwege dedicated to helping rape victims of Congo. Saima Samar working for Afghan families. Greg Mortensen a humanitarian, Piedad Cordoba, Wei Jingsheng and Ghazi bin Muhammad. After all, they're risking their lives, helping people and delivering promises all without political motives and millions of pounds in the bank.
