The family which baffles the world

Between 9-10pm on a Mothering Sunday evening, millions turned their attentions to Louis Theroux and his journey with the Phelps family. Both Theroux and the family have been trending on Twitter, many are angry by the Phelps.

We and Theroux last met the family five years ago. The family had opinions which are beyond people's belief. They suffered from homophobia, they were very religious and had strict viewpoints on the value of family life.

Aren't people like that in general? I mean, there are people who dislike gays and lesbians, there are people who consider themselves as religious and some have family values which are different to others. What's the problem?

The problem is how they live with themselves. They go to soldier's funerals who have served their country after wars (which were unnecessary, yes) and say that God is laughing and that they deserved today. And they supported the roadside bombs which killed the troops. I don't know about you but that is evil and rude.

They also say that the soldiers are gay. Just because they don't believe in your viewpoints, it does not mean they're homosexual!

They believe in heaven and hell, as like a lot of religious people. But they say if you don't believe in their point of views, you go to hell. Wow. So basically, only thirty people will go to heaven. Where is Princess Diana then? Oh yeah, I almost forgot - five years ago when Louis Theroux met the family, they had a placard calling her a "whore" and she's in hell apparently.

Are they talking about the Diana we all love and cherish in Britain? I mean that had me gob-smacked. Absolutely shocking. Everybody likes Princess Di. If you dislike any part of her, you're not human, surely?

Another thing which gets me speechless - their family values. Basically, if you break even one rule you're out of the family regardless. One family member was kicked out of their lives by just wearing a bikini in a holiday in Puerto Rico. She has not spoken to her family since because they refuse to and say to her that she is going to hell. She has been brainwashed for years and she still believes that she will go to hell because of her sins of being neglected by her family.

The other girl which was kicked out by the family because she wanted a man. Yes, they don't allow boyfriends or girlfriends or even dates! Freedom faltered perhaps? Their parents had loads of kids, what's stopping their kids going to the coffee shop to have a date.

The brainwashing is ridiculous. There are young children who don't even know what they are doing by churches protesting against the dead but are forced to do so. Just imagine if they were against their parent's religion and were out of the family's life at just seven years old? Disgusting.

Louis Theroux was as shocked as anyone else. I have to praise his professionalism. He's a superb journalist. He risks his life after every questions he asks anyone in his programmes. He has interviewed Zionists and is still alive by asking them questions which test their patience. That takes a lot of experience and it shows that he thrives on challenges.

If I was him and hanged out with that family, I'd either cry or walkout and never even think about seeing or thinking about them again because they offended millions of people and they don't seem to care.

It even says a lot when even Fox News dislikes them, branding them as "disgrace to the country". Astonishing.

The ultimate Bond review

Bonds from left to right: Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby (Image: Daily Express) Earlier this year, I set myself a challenge - an unserious one at that. yet it was something I took seriously. For years, I have been fascinated by the James Bond franchise but only based my interest on Daniel Craig's films, which were the only ones I had seen up to that point. April this year, I couldn't answer the important questions - what was my favourite Bond film? Who played the iconic character best? I could tell you which song I rated the highest because I knew and love each of them - I feel the 'Bond theme' is a genre of its own, they are that good. So over the last six months or so, I did it. I watched all 25 films, in order from Dr No to No Time To Die. Yes, there are two other 'unofficial' films - Never Say Never Again and the 1967 version of Casino Royale. While they included Bond as the protagonist, they aren...

Safety first to prevent another Grenfell

Grenfell Tower after blaze (Image: BBC) For those reading from abroad and unfamiliar with the UK's housing policy, the country is enduring a 'crisis'. To be honest, this has been branded about by media commentators, politicians and property experts for decades. Those living abroad may have been oblivious to this in the past, they were surely given a taster to the problem UK's housing industry is facing after the events surrounding Grenfell Tower. On Wednesday 14th June, Grenfell Tower, located in north Kensington, west London became the central focus in the global news agenda after the block of apartments was set ablaze. It happened very early in the day - shortly before 1am, when many of the residents were asleep. But the time between the fires starting on the fourth floor to its spread to the top of the building was too quick for people to react and escape. This tragedy, as I write this, hasn't a final death toll but regardless of its number, it's b...

The Piers Morgan Enigma

Piers Morgan - angel or devil? Ah, Piers Morgan. There is so much to say about the Good Morning Britain co-anchor, I felt compelled to boost his ego and dedicate an entire post to him. Right now, I cannot open my Twitter without seeing a new post from him. At the same time I cannot open my Facebook without reading a story about him on Digital Spy saying something that has divided social media users. It appears we know loads about Mr Morgan. We are aware of his feuds, with the list of people he's fought against longer than the Channel Tunnel - Jeremy Clarkson, Lady Gaga, John Cleese, and Ian Hislop to name a handful. He is also known to block anyone who shoot grammatically incorrect insults at him on Twitter. He's a fiery Aries, that's for certain. Yet, the deeply analytical part of my brain wonders whether his views make him a heartless man - perhaps an understated view from his critics - or an individual who has good intentions and a high moral compass. I think ...
