Thank you to everyone amplifying this. It's massively appreciated.

Nobody has ever questioned my Britishness or my right to live here, although some hotels still displayed "No dogs/blacks/Irish" signs in my childhood. But careerist politicians and pundits want to remove families here for 150 years longer than mine. How stupid is that?

The earliest record of a Black citizen voting in Britain so far dates from 1749. This predates my ancestors settling here from Ireland. Wonder if it predates the ancestors of #NigelFarage and #StephenYaxleyHyphenLennon doing the same?

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

Personally I think there should be massive expenditure by the companies that still produce plastic wet wipes to clean up our riversides and sewers. These are unnecessary products that cause a terrible amount of environment damage.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week. I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out. Thank you. www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/wor...

"That would save about 30 cents on each item that Amazon picks, packs and delivers to customers." First, that's a small amount in the greater scheme, and second, the savings is going to be passed on to the executives, not the consumer. That's how it always works.

Thank you @jamiedotdotdot.bsky.social! At long last, we've got enough juicy Predator films to warrant an honest-to-goodness ranking debate. Have a listen and have your say.

The sad thing is, on reading this line, it will be fist bumps all around in Shabana Mahmood's office. Because becoming Reform is their plan to beat it.

We really need to break this habit of casually describing films as 'forgotten' and 'rediscovered'. Here's a cinema newsletter saying The Nightmare Before Christmas was "soon forgotten" and "rediscovered on VHS".

Yoji Yamada is a true titan. He's 94 years old and his 91st film, 'Tokyo Taxi', screened at this year's Tokyo International Film Festival. Mark Schilling evaluates what a veteran director can do to weave a remake into his own canon. www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025...

Dear Mahmood/Labour, Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X. Yours The real silent (fair-minded and ignored) majority of the UK

Billionaires are more publicly involved in politics than ever—and Americans aren’t loving it.

No, I'd say it's racists and those pandering to them.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform. Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all. And now Farage could be PM ffs. Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

OK. I'm biased. I have them all. But if you are a fan of #Japanese #Cinema , and you don't have any of these titles, buy as many as you can. You won't regret it.
