Ban a Pro-Palestinian Group? The U.K. Government Thought Few Would Care.
Official advice provided to the government before its ban on Palestine Action underestimated the significant public protests that followed, records show.

Le cinéaste britannique avait reçu un Oscar en 1967. Lassé par les attaques contre ses films, ce pourfendeur de dogmes avait quitté son pays natal puis cessé de tourner. Il s’est éteint, vendredi 31 octobre, à 90 ans.

No one’s waiting for Hollywood to grow a pair and grab Trump back… but a little integrity and pushback from the place that once managed to keep a moral compass and make money wouldn’t hurt. They owe us that much. Somewhere between Capra and Kimmel, the courage got outsourced.
