Editor's comment: Some visitors to Axis of Logic may think that Mark McGowan's "course language" is in "bad taste," not fit for "civilized debate" or "just another "rant." The war crimes of 10 Downing Street regime, the BBC and that part of the population who laughs with them should be condemned in the most brutal terms possible - in words commensurate with diabolical British regime, the BBC's anti-journalism and the putrid anti-culture they have spawned - condemned on behalf of the millions of children, women and men they have killed, tortured and displaced from their homes. Hats off to Mark McGowan, aka "Chunky Mark," the London Taxi Driver and to hell with the US/British/NATO child-killing war machine

The BBC describes "Let's Dance for Comic Relief" or "Red Nose Day" as an annual BBC jamboree televised to help "Kids in Need."

Notes to Editors (I guess that's us - lmb)

Comic Relief and Red Nose Day

"Red Nose Day 2013 is heading your way on Friday 15 March when the great British public will once again be asked to Do Something Funny for Money.

"Raising cash this Red Nose Day can help to change lives forever. That’s because Comic Relief spends the money raised to help change the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa.

"Comic Relief was launched on Christmas Day in 1985, live on BBC One. At that time, a devastating famine was crippling Ethiopia and something had to be done. That something was Comic Relief. The idea was simple – Comic Relief would make the public laugh while they raised money to help people in desperate need. Before too long, Red Nose Day was created and the first ever event in 1988 raised a staggering £15m.

"This year, 2013, marks the 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day which has raised over £600m and helped to change lives both in the UK and Africa."

So what problem could Mark McGowan possibly have this event? For decades, the same BBC has supported the military and economic wars against the same "poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa" that they claim to support. In the video (below) McGowan places his crosshairs on the event that has Vanessa Feltz mounting and riding a piece of military artillery equipment, "a cock cannon," like a porn star to the laughter of the audience. What has this to do with "Raising cash this Red Nose Day can help to change lives forever"? A lot, but nothing to do with raising money for children in need. The BBC sells itself and their annual event to promote itself as a humanitarian medium while using degading humor to sell war and corrupt the values of the war-weary British people whose jobs, housing, education and health care are being traded for the British military death machine and plunder of foreign capital, petroleum, minerals and land.

Fay Strang and the Daily Mail backs up the BBC with her description of the event: "There were some impressive performances during Saturday night's heat of Let's Dance for Comic Relief. But without a doubt Vanessa Feltz stole the show with her racy and entertaining performance to Cher's If I Could Turn Back Time. Dressed as the famous singer in a revealing high leg leotard and black wig the radio presenter wowed the crowds, judges and her fiance Ben Ofoedu as she straddled a cannon."

Michael Hogan and the Telegraph heaps on the praise and fun ...,

"It was a night of last-minute replacements on Let’s Dance For Comic Relief (BBC One) with both a contestant and a judge pulling out at the eleventh hour. However, the show’s talking point was undoubtedly the sight of Vanessa Feltz in ripped fishnet stockings, straddling a cannon as it shot glitter all over the studio audience. Many of them might need to seek treatment for post-traumatic shock."

It's the same BBC whose star presenter Jimmy Savile, a predatory sex offender who abused children as young as eight for more than 50 years, using his BBC "Top of the Pops" chart show and "Jim'll Fix It," a children's TV show, to rape and assault victims on BBC premises, schools and hospitals with full knowledge and at times, participation, by British police and public officials.

The BBC calls it "Let's Dance for Comic Relief." We call it "Let's Dance for War" to help an uncivilized government sell its depredations and plunder of the poor in vulnerable African and Middle Eastern countries.

In 1999 The Vanessa Show show suffered from bad publicity as some guests were alleged to have been actors. Despite having had no involvement in the booking of guests, she was seen to be at fault and the show was cancelled soon after 2000s Vanessa Feltz was a contestant on the first British version of Celebrity Big Brother in 2001. She has appeared on its spin-off shows Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's Little Brother on numerous occasions. In May 2003 she was voted 93rd on the list of Worst Britons in Channel 4's poll of the 100 Worst Britons. She made an appearance in a sketch in the first episode of the second series of BBC comedy sketch show Little Britain, playing a spokeswoman for fictional slimming club Fat Fighters. In 2004, she appeared in the second series of reality TV show Celebrity Fit Club in a bid to lose weight. Feltz has been a regular guest on The Wright Stuff and presented two series of Cosmetic Surgery Live, both screened on Channel Five. From late 2002 she has presented phone-in shows on BBC London 94.9. After presenting a Saturday afternoon phone-in show, she moved to a weekday afternoon slot until late 2005. She then replaced Jon Gaunt on the morning show, 9am to noon. The show is a phone-in on current topics, with occasional studio guests. She also presented a Saturday morning show until January 2011 with more emphasis on interviews, and some music. She also writes a weekly column on her views on topical subjects, published in the Tuesday Daily Express newspaper and is the agony aunt at Reveal Magazine. In December 2006 she made a comeback to ITV as the host of talk show Vanessa's Real Lives, and she played herself in an episode of BBC drama series Hotel Babylon. Feltz and Ben Ofoedu have taken part in a number of television programmes as a couple: in April 2007 they participated in an episode of Channel 4's Celebrity Wife Swap, in which she moved in with magician Paul Daniels for one week, while his wife Debbie McGee moved in with Ofoedu. On 22 September 2007 Feltz and Ofoedu won £150,000 for a cancer charity on the celebrity version of ITV's Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. In 2008 Feltz won £10,000 for Cancer Care as a victorious member of Anton Du Beke's team on BBC One gameshow Hole in the Wall. On 11 May 2009 Feltz was named Speech Radio Personality of the Year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards. Vanessa has also appeared on three different episode of The Weakest Link. On two episodes, she made it to the final round but lost to Sue Perkins on one episode and to Tony Slattery on the other. The third episode she appeared on was the Special 1,000 Celebratory episode to celebrate 1,000 episodes of Weakest Link made, where she was the 6th one voted off. In 2010, Feltz and Ofoedu won their episode of the Virgin 1 show A Restaurant in our Living Room, catering a dinner at their home for 25 people. Feltz returned to the Big Brother house on 3 September 2010 during Ultimate Big Brother, the last series to be broadcast on Channel 4. She was evicted from the house on 8 September, two days before the final. 2011 Feltz took on a greater workload of radio and TV presenting in January. She took over the BBC Radio 2 Early Breakfast Show in January starting at 05:00 until 06:30 each weekday in the slot formerly occupied by Sarah Kennedy. Writing of her Radio 2 debut, Daily Telegraph radio critic, Gillian Reynolds described Feltz's voice as "like lemon tea with honey." She also continued her morning phone-in programme on BBC London 94.9 at 09:00 until 12:00 each weekday. On 10 January, Feltz launched TV chat show, The Vanessa Show on Channel 5 produced by Princess Productions broadcast Monday-Friday from 11:00 to 11:45. The programme suffered from poor ratings with a rapid drop in its audience from 170,000 for the debut show to only 40,000 just a few days later. On 7 March, Channel 5 moved The Vanessa Show to an afternoon slot at 14:15 following disappointing ratings for the morning slot. The move allowed Feltz to record live editions of her TV show after her morning radio commitments. In March 2011, the Daily Mail reported that The Vanessa Show could be facing the axe at the end of its run in June due to mixed ratings since the change in scheduling. Ratings eventually improved and a second series of the show was planned to commence in September 2011, but did not occur. The guardian.co.uk's "Media Monkey" blog dubbed Feltz "officially the hardest working woman in broadcasting" due to her weekday broadcasting commitments.
