An unlawful paramilitary backed far-right roadblock on the Newtownards Rd, Belfast.

An unlawful paramilitary backed far-right roadblock on the Newtownards Rd, Belfast.

This is one of the main roads in and out of East Belfast right now. This is a paramilitary backed far-right racist roadblock.

Police arenโ€™t intervening, they are redirecting traffic away from the racist roadblock. This is facilitating racist intimidation and terror. Where is the Justice Minister?

Refugees welcome, new communities welcome, who lives here belongs here. That's it.

Loyalist paramilitary groups don't get to speak for us.

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe".

A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

Today is the 55th anniversary of the release of Frederick Wiseman's 'Hospital,' which is one of Roger Deakins's favorites.

He told us, "Hospital is one of the most penetrating studies of what it means to be human that I have seen.โ€

Itโ€™s cold but having tested it Iโ€™d say it isnโ€™t 4x bottoms and 5x tops cold. Probably once less on each area would have been preferable and less Michelin-woman-ish

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger Eminent American film-maker Martin Scorsese shares his lifelong love affair with the films of Powell and Pressburger.

The โ€˜Made in Englandโ€™ Powell and Pressburger doc with Scorsese is now on iPlayer, as are several great P&P films, although youโ€™ll
have to go elsewhere to find the weirdest and, to my mind, most wonderful, A Canterbury Tale (1944). All pair nicely with this Screenshot ep www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
