I can't decide if it's due to the trendy 'Any-Advertising-Is-Good-Advertising' or my red-pill is really kicking in,
but with the BBC trying this latest sh*t, I'm rapidly losing faith and thinking that the television is nothing more
than a dust collector.
'Newsnight' is a late-night programme on the BBC's second-channel BBC2 that was usually confined to the
more refined who enjoyed shows that portrayed upper-middle class folk going about their typical environment.
When I was young, it mainly broadcast English cricket all mid-morning and afternoon, an ideal time to watch
the sport if you worked in the Houses of Parliament!
The programme 'Newsnight' supposedly entertains its viewers with angled commentary about current political
issues and certainly leans left in its values. And maybe the key-word is 'entertain'.
Like others in the comment section of The Daily Mail, I questioned her gender more than her fake impression
on the BBC programme! But why would you contact an agency for access to a Vicar?

Quote:Did BBC hire a 'fake vicar' to back May's Brexit deal on Newsnight?DailyMail:
Viewers discover guest is actress who has appeared in Star Wars and EastEnders.
*Lynn Hayter appeared on Newsnight on Monday to defend the Brexit agreement
*She appeared sporting a dog collar and fiercely debated five other panellists
*She has worked as an extra, who performs under her middle name Marina
'The BBC has come under fire after it booked a Star Wars extra who calls herself a pastor through an
agency for a Brexit discussion. The broadcaster denied hiring a 'fake vicar' to appear on its flagship
political programme after social media users hit out at the BBC.
A female Vicar...? Really!
Lynn Hayter appeared on Newsnight on Monday to defend Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit
withdrawal agreement on the UK leaving the European Union.
Today she angrily denied she had been paid by the BBC as she spoke to MailOnline outside her home.
She said: 'I was not paid by the BBC . They did not pay me. I was contacted by an independent organisation
and asked to appear.I have nothing more to say'
Hayter, who was dressed in a bright red tracksuit, was pulled inside her North West London home by a friend.
Neighbours said they knew Hayter was an actress but were not aware she was a pastor or wore a dog collar.
'That is news to me' said one neighbour. We all knew she was an actress. She is very friendly and has talked
about her work.'
Miss Hayter is listed as a pastor on Facebook at a group called Seeds for Wealth Ministries, which claims
to 'help you realise, release and walk into your financial freedom in Christ'.
But she has also worked as an on-screen extra, and has a profile listing her profession as 'actor' on the social
media site.
The actress (pictured in character) has not only appeared in Star Wars but also EastEnders,
which led viewers to believe that she was a plant.
When she launched Seeds for Wealth in a YouTube video, she hinted that she has been involved in ministry before.
'I'm going back into ministry -the lord has called me back,' she said. 'God's put a message on my heart hes
equipped me and I'm going for it.'
But she does not mention if anybody has ordained her, nor does she appear to have an actual church as she
petitions viewers to invite her to talk.
'I have been called to unlock the seeds that are in each and every one of us and in doing so that will take you to
a higher level that will release you into your financial freedom,' she says. 'Your'e going to have to invite me to
your church to have me preach.'
She claims to have been 'endorsed' by American evangelist Mike Murdock from The Wisdom Centre, calling him
her 'pastor and mentor' and tweeting a certificate he awarded her after she took part of his Jerusalem Project.
She tweeted a picture of Murdock's Mind Bible book, which he sells as part of a $99 'Ministry 6 PAK'.
Other pictures on her Twitter profile show the pair meeting and social media shows that she has been to his
events in the US and also seen him when he has visited London.
In the video online she invites people to send her Christian-themed items to sell on her Seeds for Wealth
store on Amazon.
Miss Hayter, who performs under her middle name Marina, recently appeared in the blockbuster film Star Wars
Episode VII: The Force Awakens. This has led to accusations that the BBC hired her specifically to appear on
the show playing the part of a vicar.
The argument was dubbed 'Vicargate', with some on social media convinced she was acting.
Labour peer Andrew Adonis waded into the furore, telling his Twitter followers he believed Miss Hayter to be a fake.
He sarcastically commented 'Lynn is a pastor' and I am the Pope', before calling her a 'fake pastor' and accusing
the BBC of 'a reign of lies'. Miss Maitlis [Show's Host] quickly reprimanded Lord Adonis, warning him 'not to become
a peddler of fake news'.
She tweeted: 'Not in this day and age. Not when we need our parliamentarians to be better and more trusted than ever.
'To have got to a place where you could choose to believe that enough to write it is deeply worrying.'
Other users were keen to chime in with the debate, with one '@BrexitBin' tweeting: 'WTF!
This lady playing 'Reverend Lynn' is actually an actress called Marina Hayter (stage name?)
who is a professional TV talk show guest. In other words, she was hired by @BBCNewsnight
to say she backed May's plan. This kind of undemocratic deception has to have consequences!'
This is while Antonia Frances said: 'Reverend Lynn' is in fact Marina Hayter. She has played numerous roles including
Peasant Woman, quizzical librarian and shocked neighbour but no vicars until her starring role as Brexit deal fan girl
on #Newsnight #BBC #BrexitAgreement.'
Others such as Beth Urmston poked fun at 'Vicargate' and said:
'Think Marina Lynn Hayter's days at the BBC are numbered. Pastor sell by date.'
Elsewhere others said the BBC had 'struck gold' when they found Lynn, '@benjolly9' said:
'The @BBCNewsnight research team who set out to find an actor willing to play a Vicar
o sing the praises of Theresa May must have thought they'd stuck gold when they found
@LynnHayter.'
As the speculation mounted, Newsnight itself was prompted to defend the decision to include her on the show.
Their statement read: 'Claims that Lynn appeared on Newsnight as a paid actor are false.
'Lynn is a pastor and was a genuine participant of our Brexit debate. She carries out work as an extra using her
middle name but this is not relevant to the capacity in which she appeared.'
Seeds For Wealth Ministries, which had 72 followers on Facebook as of last night, believes it can enrich
worshippers and take them to 'a higher level'. Miss Hayter told presenter Emily Maitlis she was '100per cent'
behind the deal and urged the public to 'put [their] faith in the government'.
She stridently defended the withdrawal agreement when quizzed by her fellow panellists.
Miss Hayter has also appeared in BBC shows EastEnders and Dickensian, among dozens more...'
Like others in the comment section of The Daily Mail, I questioned her gender more than her fake impression
on the BBC programme! But why would you contact an agency for access to a Vicar?
