And he’s now calling Zelenskyy a dictator. America gets more and more Orwellian by the day.

The private sector needs to take some of the responsibility at some point. After all, it’s the job of the public sector to keep people educated, safe and healthy. It’s the job of the private sector to generate wealth.

The answer to our economic woes can’t be to land public sector workers with a real terms pay cut AGAIN. When will governments learn that the failures of the private sector to generate wealth can’t be fixed by defunding the public sector?

Where were the awards for Nosferatu? Best director for Eggers, best actress for Depp, surely best cinematography for Blaschke and—I’m perhaps a bit biased—but I’d have given best choreography to my ex teacher Marie-Gabrielle Rotie.

Welcome to a new age of empire. I usually campaign against funding the military at the expense of public services but, if Europe doesn’t arm itself, the US and Russia will carve up Europe and divide it between them. Trump’s policies in the Middle East and Ukraine has made that clear.

Putin attacks Ukraine from one direction. The US waits until Ukraine is at its weakest, then attacks from the other direction. Frightening.

Trump’s calls to ethnically cleanse Gaza reminds the world that, yes, it can happen again.

Where is Nosferatu? Ridiculous that an infantile film like Substance gets nominated but there’s no nomination for Eggers’ masterpiece.

Apparently, the US administration don’t want equity for all races, genders and sexual orientations. Back to the bad old days of white male supremacy. My thoughts are with all my brothers and sisters across the pond.

P.S. Does anyone know where I could download a copy of this film in the UK?
