Re: British Paki and Proud - BBC2 tonight
well said thap :k:
ae fond kiss ranj’ and yaar he did more then just kiss in dat movie if i’m not mistaken! i wanted to begin my evaluation with that a$$ atta ‘boy’ yaqub. btw 4 part series guys this wasn’t only 1st part/episode.
rite, pollockshields is a flipped area, those who have been their, lived their for a bit will know wat i mean. our family friends are from pollockshields, i went over last year and a year before that for wedding and our fellow brit based pak’s are pretty rough. @ nite, they go around joy riding, with the decks blazing like its’ eid and it’s like wilmslow road revisited. + they hang around in corners of certain streets late at nite don’t know why, break car windscreens etc…
anyhow, i was very disgusted by atta, first of all, we were watching this program with family and all of a sudden they showed clips of his movie which i ddin’t think they would, which was the embarrasing part if=nfront of my elders 
]
anyways he seemed like a pretty confused person. @ first he goes and make a film which is sick then only tell’s his mam stuff he feels she only needs to know. then he talks about halving a good spiritual connection with allah and then all of a sudden, signs a project which has him playing a gay boy??? i mean is he feeling okay. then during ramzan-ul-mubarak it takes him a few mins’ to decide whether attending a premiere in usa would be more important then ramzan… this guy sickened me today.. then there was this mini episode with his mother, who’s views were ajeeb. she goes to watch his film, says her daughter covered her eyes during a intimate scene and then goes he respects me may allah help him etc… izaat kis kaam ki agar kartoot darust na houn!
overall, i liked the program but was peeved with the image this program will portray into the minds of non asians who would have watched this program. wat will they feel, that a typical pakistani is like living amongst them in this multi-cultural society. totally one sided viewpoint not all pakistanis’ r like the one’s they showed in this program.
the writer guy from luton gave a good thorough tour of luton i even saw 2 familar faces, the 2 ppl in the mosque scene holding pamphlets/posters those guys i know them 
and this term paki and all the hype, me personally, i’m not 2 fussed about it, i’m a pakistani and damn proud of my roots…let’s c what they come up with next week.
