It is my all-time favourite too!
The script is even more poignant today as greed has taken over the US & the UK. Pottersville has been chosen ahead of Bedford Falls in real life much to the detriment of society! I would prefer to live in Bedford Falls every time…

Is this one of the greatest scenes in movie history?
I think so — that’s why “It’s a Wonderful Life” is my all-time favorite.

Definitely thought we’d reverted back to previous seasons and dropped points due to lack of concentration and commitment!! However, this result is the type of win that champions manage to achieve.
F/T: 2-1 Arsenal.
Three crucial points, now let's never talk about this game again.

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure.

The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Brandon Gill’s comments were offensive & judgmental. As a non American, it amazes me how many Americans do not use cutlery correctly! In cultures where they use fingers to eat, such as his father in laws, good hygiene is always apparent when I go to friends houses & washing hands is a must!

Exactly! It’s cheaper to feed your family junk food than healthy foods. I spend at least £50 per week on fruit & veg. Unfortunately most families won’t be able to do this as they have to prioritise and will go for the offers that are usually the sugar packed products!
