Great film MP - fantastic. I love the bit where famous northern actor (name escapes me) tells posh rat friend (is it one of the Foxes?) how it's all going to change back home - a fantastic mix of the idealism and chippiness of socialism all rolled up into one...


Sorry about the name thing I'm crap with actors

It was indeed excellent BBW - saw it last night. It was curiously uplifting despite its bleak portrayal of gang culture , and had a nice sardonic undertone.

Well worth viewing.

After rave and fawning media reviews, took myself and the missus off to the Ritzy last night to see 35 Shots of Rum, the latest effort from French legend Claire Denis.


I've never seen any of her other work so had little idea what to expect.


It is two hours of my life I shall never get back. Boring, pretentious French existentialist twaddle. Epically long silences and lots of meaningful stares failed miserably to compensate for 2-D characters, little plot and unrealistic dialogue.


Avoid.

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
