And, again, as the article acknowledges, these very tax incentives were instrumental in the creation of SIXTY THOUSAND film and tv jobs in 2019
This headline is hugely misleading. Expected better of @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap... As the article itself acknowledges, every £1 of tax incentive in high end film and television has a GVA to the UK economy of £8.30.

Took a day off. Visited a Saxon church, looked at witch marks in a 14th Century tithe barn, bought a painting of a crow. Came home and New Model Army @newmodelarmy are live on 6Music playing Green and Grey. WHAT A DAY!

Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.
