      As if the Democrats don't. But then they also tend to judge people based on their skin color. Especially these days. If you're not white, you're welcomed. Oh yes, you must hate your own white race and bow down to people of color as well, letting then do whatever they wish. And allow your children to be exposed all sorts of depravity. Then you're "in."

      It's written by Charlie Brooker (the guy who co-wrote Black Mirror, Screen Wipe,Weekly Wipe, where Philomena first appeared, co-wrote Nathan Barley etc. etc. he has a few credits), Diane Morgan (Philomena) and the cast, and Philomena's boyfriend Sean. Sorry, Ben. His real name is Ben.

      Apparently Brooker had the character of Philomena down as a dim posho, but Morgan's interpretation won him over. She really has perfect comic timing. I mean, you can't write lines for interviews like that. The bit about bread sauce and the long pause for Jay Raynor to squirm around in - that was Morgan's natural ability and ad libbing. And the shoplifting - I'm still laughing about that.

    I'm an American, and we're just now seeing Diane Wilson on American TV, as Philomena Cunk. SO FUNNY. I've watched her documentaries on American History and laughed the whole time. I have to wonder, what are all these intelligent people she interviews really think of her questions and comments. She is great I want to see more of her.
