I suppose from a male pov, the film wouldn't resonate much.

But it really was quite the take on unattainable beauty standards and ageism for women; particularly in the entertainment industry, but equally in an advertising culture that spends millions telling us we're not good or pretty enough.

This part 👆🏼 There was zero acknowledgement from that toad of the hoops we've had to jump through and the thousands it's cost to obtain ILR.

Nor a single mention of the cost of Citizenship after that. Which may be the reason ILR folks aren't passporting-up.

I've been ILR for 28yrs. Never claimed a single benefit because I work, pay taxes, etc. What happens if I don't meet Nigel's Goldman Sach's-level income threshold?

No one asking Nige why Citizenship costs nearly £2K and maybe that's the reason more ILRs aren't doing it? ILR wasn't a cheap process!

You forgot doing a video phone-in to a thousands-strong racist rally in another country and telling them they should dissolve their democratically elected parliament.

Get ready for "he strayed from the church/spent too much time on-line/played too many video games" narrative.

They're definitely available to purchase on-line. Might be worth seeing if they ship to the US shop.royalmail.com/special-stam...

Hello from the UK and the Royal Mail 👋🏼

Seconded.

Shooting Stars was the first show I watched on TV in the UK when I moved here. Immediately knew that shifting my entire life this island was the correct decision.

"If I did something sex-pesty and problematic, it's my employers fault for not recognising I'm autistic and doing something about it" is quite the ball to pick up and run with.

Fuck this guy for landing his lack of self-accountablility in the laps of Neurodiverse people everywhere.

Indeed.

And if no one has ever seen it, you should treat yourselves to this incredible performance from 1970. An emerging Black Sabbath in Paris showing us what was to come.

I encourage and support this journey for anyone living in the US right now.

Compared to US news media, BBC will appear better on the surface due to lack of reporter opinion and overall robotic delivery.

But please don't mistake that for fairness/impartiality. As others have pointed out, they are a Conservative tool. We watched it for 14 years under excrutiating Tory rule.

Mike, Bill and Kevin are collectively known as our RiffTrax Dads in my house. Happy Father's Day to you all and thanks for the Dad Jokes

Indeed.

The underestimating of the British love of a butcher (selling British meat) as well as their support of British farmers will be an eye-opener, as well.

I predict the Red Tractor logo on our food becoming more prominent/appealing as American flags start appearing in our supermarkets.

Same.I love that guy.

Not just me, then. I watched the 'The Bronx Warriors' (1990) last year, developed a weird crush on the lead Mark Gregory, did the compulsory adhd deep-dive..... I'll leave it up to you whether or not to go down this road.

Yeah. I did a 5-second Google Image search, out of interest. The earliest I could find was an article from the Sydney Morning Herald in 2020 re: concerns about the spread of Coronavirus in an El Salvardorian prison during a routine cell search.

Everything in my body hurts and creaks, but girl I will parkour like a nimble kitchen ninja to stop that beep.

With nothing but respect for Michael Keaton, I nominate him to play this version of our nightmare in any upcoming movie.

Here in the UK, they're making it quite clear ... there's nothing, so far, to suggest it was deliberate. Again, that's not to say it wasn't. But so far...
March 21, 2025 at 1:07 PM
It's not. That's not to say it won't be. But what you are stating is not true at the time of you writing that statement.

This isn't Twitter. Facts and Congnitive Thinking matter.
