When five people buy back-row tickets to an empty screening, they aren't there to watch the film.
At the time of publication, all seats remained available for the 28 screenings of Melania at the Blackburn, Castleford and Hamilton branches. The picture was slightly rosier at the Cineworld in Wandsworth, which had sold four tickets, while five backrow seats were also booked at the Cineworld in Broughton.

Bonkers isn't it ? I live in Balham now. Three commons (Tooting, Clapham, Wandsworth), Tesco, Waitrose, M&S, ALDI, Sainsburys, The Grove and Devonshire Pubs, three tube stations, bus stops - all within walking distance. Take that to 25 and you are in Clapham Junction. Clearly a Marxist dream.

The picture was slightly rosier at the Cineworld in Wandsworth, which had sold four tickets, while five backrow seats were also booked at the Cineworld in Broughton. Richards told the Telegraph he had received a considerable number of emails from the public criticising Vue’s decision to screen the film. “I have told everyone that, regardless of how we feel about the movie, if it is BBFC [British Board of Film Classification] approved we look at them and 99% of the time we will show it,” he said. “We do not play judge and jury to censor movies.” One industry analyst told the Guardian they suspected the underlying strategy was “four-walling”, meaning distributors pay a set fee to each cinema if they agree to play a certain title.

There are some truly excellent #Labour Councillors in #Wandsworth who deserve to retain their seats. Worth checking them out than blanket disapproval.

Labour have been a disgrace in Wandsworth. Writing a Local Plan, which they promptly ignore, effectively bribing councillors with “deputy” roles & an extra £12k/pa, and ignoring kids that have the worse routes to school (and are more likely to be from lower income households)
