Meet the Natives

I was lying in bed the other night flicking through the channels when I came across channel 4's Meet the Natives at first it looked like a nature program but NO I was wrong. What they were actually doing was taking some tribes people from a tribe in a rain forest somewhere and sending to the UK to learn about our culture.

Once I hered this I thought "oh ya dancer this sounds really interesting to see how they react to our culture". Sadly I was soon let down slightly, when they got to the UK they were sent to Manchester....sorry what? That's right they took the tribes people, sent them to the UK and papped them in a shitehole like Manchester, what a fantastic way to put a good impression on our culture. I'll admit Ive never been to Manchester but from what I've heard from people and seen on the TV...it's a shitehole.

They reached the house of the family they would be staying with (which was a council house...I think) they were welcomed inside and offered a drink of Vimto which then one of the tribes men commentated "we were welcomed inside their home and given a traditional welcoming drink of Vimto" 'traditional welcoming drink'?! by this time I had my head in my hands thinking "oh for fucks sake, what next?". Oh I didn't need to wait long for the next fuck-up... the wife of the house then offered them a cigarette each. Now I was fucking raging, just wanted to hit her...actually. I'm not a woman beater but this big fat bitch was really annoying me. I'm glad these wankers ain't running this country...seriously.


It wasn't all pain and misery tho, they took the tribes men outside and put them on their trampoline, their faces were a picture, they thought it was some sort of magical thing lol.

Into the city centre of Manchester they went, sadly they didn't show much footage but it was interesting to see their reaction to different races of people living in the same place and the fact there was homeless people. In their country everyone has a home and nobody is really richer then someone else, so this confused them a little.


Gotta give it to Channel 4 tho, another great program with its fuck-ups, apparently this is a first in a series so I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes and of course if needs be having a rant about them to.
