Thanks! I showed it in Falmouth on 23 Oct, but the 99p films seemed keen to put it on again. I'd be very happy to facilitate this if you'd like to get the ball rolling.

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.
A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”

It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism.
The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.
