Definitely not a cult...
Glenn Erickson of CineSavant praises the Sidney Lumet-Paddy Chayefsky classic Network as easily the most prescient picture of the 1970s. In a warning of broadcast horrors to come, corporate values turn a venerated TV news institution into an infotainment sewer.

Sad to see #Greenwich being sold off to the highest bidder, with so little concern about residents and the community.

Rolls-Royce wants UK subsidies for new engine.
Why can shareholders not fund it?
Govt won't give repayable loan, won't take equity stake. Company will own resulting asset & income streams.
Huge wealth transfer to private hands.
Must check corporate welfare.

Farage happy to sell out farmers and food standards to placate big American poultry... and Trump
Note: The USA has almost non existent welfare standards in that sector and that's why they chlorinate the meat.
Thames Water is collapsing. NO BAILOUTS for the shareholders and banks who caused this mess. Tell the government to take it into public ownership PERMANENTLY and protect the public interest. #WeOwnIt

In a world where many a hack is called a visionary it is truly sad to lose a TRULY visionary director. David Lynch, you fucking genius, I salute you.
Gena Rowlands in, Opening Night (1977)
England's water companies fined just £2 since 2021 for breaching regulations.
OFWAT says it agreed compensation and investment in lieu of fines.
So no penalties for dumping sewage, causing health hazards, destroying marine life & biodiversity; to boost profits, exec pay, dividends

We now have Royal Mail owned by a Czech billionaire
The National Grid owned by Australia
All our Oil and Gas owned by the USA and Norway
Thames Water, Yorkshire Water... owned by Canada and Saudi's
Everything has been sold there's no money for anything because it all goes abroad
Reeves orders 5% cuts to all govt depts in ‘efficiency drive’.
Austerity by another name - cuts in services, real public sector wages, benefits.
Want to save money? End privatisation of the NHS, care sector, 30%-40% vanishes in profits, money buys less.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath
hands down, one of the greatest scenes in the history of Le cinema
That's one of my favourites of the series
A Christmas tradition. Atmospheric chillers perfect for a winter night.
This evening's film was the high camp, nunsploitation classic, Cristiana Devil Nun. Divine intervention takes Cristiana from the mile high club to the convent, but her heart isn't really in it and it's not long before she is indulging in sins of the flesh. Great fun!

Can anyone in government explain what on earth they are doing here. Labour opposed in opposition then Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s abuse of secondary legislation to railroad through these changes by the back door. How can they possibly now be condoning & supporting what she did? It’s a disgrace
Another victory for bland architecture in the developer's paradise, London.

Fun fact: In the 1960s, nurses worked pretty much any place other than a hospital.
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
