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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
