Tourism update. At some point in the 11th century the businessmen in Bari decided that they did not have enough attractions in their city and that if they added some it would boost trade. So they mounted a raid in Smyrna and captured his bones and took them to Bari. Hence “San Nicola di Bari”.

Mary Poppins was Filipino.

Ah yes, you’re right. However it still looks silly for one to argue incessantly (as Megyn Kelly did) that Father Christmas (the mythological man) is white, when he does not even actually exist.

[Daphne – St Nicholas was from Myrna in what is now Turkey. He could have been anything from a blue-eyed blond, to a redhead, to somebody with east Asian features and black hair, to somebody with olive skin and curly brown hair. But he would most certainly not have been of sub-Saharan African extraction. Over and above that, the ‘Father Christmas’ tradition is essentially a northern European one and so the mythical figure was conceived in a typically northern European man’s image. An African Father Christmas makes as much sense as the image of Christ conceived as a Nordic man because of the culturally-ingrained antipathy towards Jewishness. Jesus was Jewish – he would have had pretty much the same facial features, hair, eye and skin colour that I do, but his hair wouldn’t have been straight and he would have been a lot shorter. Christ has been portrayed the way he is for centuries because of the bipolarity between Christianity and Judaism. Portraying Christ (and for that matter, his mother) as they really were would have made it clear that they were Jewish.]

Its viewers, who are not necessarily ignorant or stupid, live in a fact free bubble which is bizarre.

At his best, Bill O’Reilly might seem normal, but the station is a treasure trove of stupid and extreme commentators and presenters, with Sean Hannity probably wearing the crown of most stupid and extreme. Alas, Glenn Beck has moved on.

He is also not above using underhand tactics and lies in his commentaries (for which he has been publicly exposed and shamed).

And Daphne, the above isn’t the stupidest Fox news interview ever.
