The Great British Bake Off...

The news desk at The Daily Mail, that so-called protector of middle-class England, must have been foaming at the mouth with the sort of right-wing indignation that wouldn't have looked out of place an English Defence League march when the final three contestants competing in the final of the Great British Bake Off on BBC1 was announced. 

A gay fella, a Muslim and a hippy competed for the first prize and some 13.4 million viewers watched them in the final, which ended with Muslim mother and wife Nadiya crowned the winner. 

And, after splashing the GBBO victor on the front page of The Daily Mail for the past several years, where did Nadiya appear in the paper? The front page? No. Page two or page three? No. She made it on page seven. 

The racism of the paper isn't even subtle any more. And, what's worse, the decision to not feature her as prominently as previous winners means that the paper obviously thinks its readers are as racist as it is. 

And, you know what, they're probably fucking right. 

Shame on that paper and shame on the bigots who buy it. They'd probably start defending these accusations by saying something along the lines of, 'I'm not a racist, but..'
