In my previous notes, I commented on a set of episodes of the BBC “The Eastenders” concluding to Christmas 2015 and continuation of those episodes to the months after that.
Before moving further I need to discuss some introductory propositions.
First of all, people who play the roles in movies TV series shows etc. are just actors who have memorised pieces of speech assigned to them. Their words are written by a writer that most of the time is just a litterateur not a specialist. A movie doctor is not a doctor. A movie vicar is not a vicar. A movie Muslim says things that the screen writer tells him to say.
In mentioned episodes, they talk about mental bipolar “disease” and its cure by taking some pills. There is nothing in intention of the writer about helping mentally ill. He wants to cover the sublime message about the birth of Jesus Christ under a benevolent idea. Still, even this supposedly benevolent idea is from the point of view of the authority on mental illness. It is out of the scope of this article to enter detail of this statement. Just I tell you that it is against the idea of the majority of related professionals. For example British Society of Psychologists which incorporate fifty thousands of the professionals are not in favour of such things as pills. Therefore, the ideas that get injected into the minds of the average people are the ideas of the writer with no knowledge of mental illness and is expressed from the perspective of the most reactionary and paid-by-the-pharma specialists.
Second point is the Shabnam family and her self-claimed Islamic practice. She starts from a pre-marital sex with Kush, but she keeps her veil in front of her father and brother, in front of female friends, in front of mother of her husband and even her husband, while in Islam women are allowed to unveil at home and in front of women and certain other male intimates such as father and brother and obviously husband. In contrast pre-marital sex is not allowed.
Other thing is that Shabnam and her family show extreme outrage when they become informed of affairs of Kush with Stacy. In Islam it is said that Jealousy of wife towards affairs of her husband is the worst demeanour of a woman. While father of Shabnam admits everything, including pre-marital sex of her daughter, upon knowledge of the affairs without question and hesitation punches in the eye of his son in law as a symbol of his zeal.
Third point is using Shabnam to pass the message to Stacy telling her that she is in delusion and self-deceit because she (Stacy) wants psychologically encapsulate her guilt of cheating to her future husband and betraying her friend. Shabnam tells Stacy that Arthur is not son of God, that Arthur is just a bastard and a “sin” child, full stop. She is depressed and in delusion that she has given birth to the son of god. Her son would not be clean even after two thousand years; even if billions believe in contrary; the case is closed.
It remains to figure out why Shabnam, supposedly a Muslim should convey this message. I know a little to add. Idea of Muslims about Jesus Christ is almost equal to what they believe about their own prophet and according to many scholars even more. Mohammedans do not have the story of Joseph the Carpenter. But they believe Mary was virgin and conceived by God through intervention of Holy Spirit. If a Muslim doubt this he receives the same punishment that if he insult the prophet Mohamed.
Having said this, why a Muslim is bringing the sublime message to Stacy. The short answer is this. “OK, you want a fight about Jesus Christ then fight with the escape goats that we inject into your European Christian societies. Leave us safe in our Elisiums. We do not change our judgement we made on the birth of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago and nothing can clean him and his mother from the sin.”
People are Christians and generations after generations have had that belief deep inside their souls. They feel the insult. They have been gagged with the political correctness. Everything is allowed to be asserted in this society except their own values. Inside, they are on fire. When they feel it, then they look to see whose mouth is insulting them. Then they become hostile to one who is not actually believer to that idea, but is only a paid presenter.
Some might think that I was too cynical to interpret the innocent story about promotion of mental health awareness in this way. It is not true. I regret that I cannot expand all the details of this psychological satanic war right now. But I hope that I can. Satan does not understand Time. It is not a temporal being like humans. It continues its war even after 2000 years.
I would stop if I had not noticed further manipulations of public in another contest. In continuation of the story line we get to the story of Vincent Hubbard, his mother Claudette Hubbard and Patrick Trueman. Stacy gradually fades up from the scene, but because of her contribution she received a trophy – a TV award in the real world. The storyline gradually dissolve on the Vincent and his mother sometime before the Easter.
Ms Hubbard has killed her own husband and has buried him under the pavement of a street where they used to live at the time that Vincent was a child. She thencefore has accused Mr Phil Mitchel of that crime, filling the heart of her child with hatred towards Phil.
Gradually Vincent becomes doubtful to this narrative until he could elicit the truth from the mother and hears her confession. At night, he took the mother to the basement of his house where builders (during the day) were redeveloping the place. He tries to strangle her mother but a friend of Ms Hubbard, Patrick comes in the house and at the top of the cellar staircase asks Vincent to leave the mother alone. Mother walks up to the place that Patrick is standing. There Vincent tells Patrick why he was trying to kill his mother and what the crime of his mother was. Now Vincent became angry of his female friend and while they were arguing, Patrick pushes Ms Hubbard down the staircase.
Ms. Hubbard falls down dead on the floor. Two men become abet to each other crime. Patrick escapes from the arena. Vincent stays and buries the mother in a shallow grave under the yet unbuilt floor.
Next day Vincent decides to visit the basement again to figure out something else, but he notices that the builders has covered the entire floor with a layer of concrete. Upon inquiry from the builders he learns that the builders have not noticed anything. He becomes relieved a bit.
Days pass and focus of the story is on the two men discussing the situation, accusing each other, quarrelling about informing the police and if it has been a misfortunate accident or deliberate crime.
People are sure that Ms. Hubbard due to her original sin has been killed by her loved one or such and buried without doubt.
Suddenly with a surprise, Patrick believes that he has seen his dead friend, Claudette Hubbard, somewhere in Albert Square, from the land of the Dead from the underworld back to this world of the mortals.
He could not believe what he has seen. He closes his eyes, he covers his face with his hands. He turns his face to see if she is there, but she cannot be seen again. She disappears. Patrick sees her another time in another corner and as if a spectre, she flows out of his sight again.
Patrick meets Vincent, tells him that he believes that he has seen Vincent’s mother. Vincent tries to convince him that he is sure that builders have covered Claudette with a layer of concrete and it is impossible to return from the death and from the grave to this world. But Patrick is absolutely sure that he has not been drunk or under influence and certainly has seen Ms Hubbard twice.
At this point Vincent looks convinced and says, “Ah, as if she has been resurrected back to life.” This is just the Easter day episode and gives its message clearly enough. Ms. Hubbard suffered for her crime by falling from the steps and buried in a shallow grave but did not receive any serious fatal blow and saved herself and came back to her habitual living place after few days. This is nothing unusual that people considered dead come back to life. There is nothing sacred in it. This is the message of The EastEnders just on the eve of Easter day.
