Eastenders’ depiction of Milton Keynes as “slum” is “out of order”, says MP
EastEnders was “completely out of order”.In Monday’s episode of the BBC soap opera, the character of Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) returned for the first time since 2019, being shown in her new home in the Buckinghamshire city.Some scenes showed characters “eating out of bins” and throwing a brick through a window, leading some residents to complain about the negative portrayal of the place.And now, Ben Everitt, the Conservative MP for Milton Keynes North, has chimed in, saying that he would be contacting the producers of the show to highlight his displeasure.Speaking to BBC Three Counties Radio, he said: “Like every city we got parts that aren’t as good as the others, but the characterisation is completely out of order.”He went on to state that he would request that the writers also go out of their way to find a positive representation of the town as well.
