people who complained about #MidsomerMurders lack of diversity didn't get that it’s a show about dispelling the myth of white supremacist solidarity.
so much of the white-on-white violence is by nepobaby manchildren pissed they can keep riding on their families’ names & fortunes.
the show is not only a master class on the consequences of late-stage #capitalism. it’s brilliant at showing the decline of English hegemony & the villainy of British class #warfare.

this tells me people in #Texas don't watch #MidsomerMurders #Poirot #MissMarple #FatherBrown #SisterBoniface or any #brittv #britpop #tv using “faith-based” “non-profit” “foster care” as the motive for murder.
the Father Brown episode, The Bride of Christ, is devastating even with its light-handed treatment of the separation horrors in birthing hospitals:

and never forget Sinead O’Connor’s abuse, in foster care, at the Magdalene Laundries
