The joke that is BBC—"Spooks"

I JUST tried to watch the first episode of a BBC series titled "Spooks" From what I could gather it is the story of the exploits of MI5, the Brit internal security apparatus post 9/11. The plot was simply a scream. Remember this is the first episode of a TV series. One can expect it to set the tone for what is to come. We begin with the "Spook" heroes getting a tip that 20 bombs and detonators have been smuggled into the country by the IRA for unknown buyers. One might surmise that these buyers would be jihadists or even ne0Nazis. One would be wrong. OK, now think, who could the bad guys be, and what might be their cause? Think like an Oxford-educated British twit. Your getting warm. Yes, must have an anti-American element. OK, let's go. One of the bombs is placed. An evil looking woman is sitting in a nearby car as a lovely family gathers around their vehicle. Evil woman sets off bomb by cellphone. The mom dies and the cute daughter is badly hurt. But why them. Of course, I should have guessed. Both mom and dad are "family planing" doctors. Victims of crazed "pro-lifers"—and not just any pro-lifers. Next scene. The evil woman is meeting with her gang of terrorists. She is giving them their murderous marching orders in a ridiculously fake Southern accent. Yep, the formidable forces of MI5 are about to take on that worldwide terror organization al-baby-al-Alabama. I turned off the show at this point. But I am pretty sure those terrifying American zealots met their match in the plucky British. God, what planet does the BBC inhabit? That Britain is the epicenter of Islamic fundamentalism in Europe is not even open for debate. That Britain is severely anti-semitic is also a fact. And clearly the British, or at least the chattering classes, are, as evidenced by "Spooks," ignorant religious bigots.
