Well worth reading to the end of a thread combining the mythology of the Old West with the "real" fiction of the new movies.
My Darling Clementine is the best Wyatt Earp film & among the least accurate, despite John Ford knowing Wyatt Earp personally. Contrary to Ford's claims, his film wasn't based on Earp's own account of his time in Tombstone, but rather an earlier film whose director also knew the lawman. A 🧵

I mean I’m so glad you have private healthcare and were obviously seen really quickly but PLEASE, don’t you fucking dare start talking about ‘targeted screening or other fast track treatments’ when your austerity has caused the mess the NHS is in.

I'm sure it's all in the Russia Report that the PM poltroon won't release.
UK PM Keir Starmer has demanded an investigation into Reform’s Russia links after the party's ex-Wales leader was jailed, Sky News reports.

The 750-page document also has stinging criticism of “toxic and chaotic” culture inside Boris Johnson’s Downing Street – which it said the then PM. actively embraced – in which loudest voices held sway and women were sidelined.

UK Covid Inquiry concludes: 23,000 deaths could've been prevented if the March 2020 lockdown had been imposed just a week earlier.

No mistake by any prime minister in living memory has caused so many deaths in the UK.

The tragic and catastrophic price of Boris Johnson's incompetence & negligence.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

As soon as a UK government of any party appoints a brown female politician as a Home Secretary my heart sinks because I know the only way she has reached that position is a willingness to cheerlead the most racist , cruel inhumane policies that no senior white male MP would dare to announce.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Somebody is briefing the Times that the Home Secretary finds inspiration in Kristi Noem's leading the Trump mass deportation effort - which has gone much too far for Americans

What a kamikaze piece of political madness that is on the eve of their asylum package

Paddy probably did more for getting good food to people than any other restauranteur in Liverpool…ever!! If you are of a particular age the Everyman Bistro was a rite of passage…a lot of people owe him a big thank you for what he created.
Paddy Byrne died yesterday. The creative catalyst behind the Everyman Bistro and then the Pen Factory. The Bistro was a cultural oasis that served great food, drink and music. The salad bar in the 2nd room was something to behold in Liverpool in the 80s. Vale Paddy.
