The cinema experience is on the up and 2025 looks likely to be a bumper year. Yet Lewisham doesn’t have a single cinema since the closure of our beloved Catford Mews. What’s going on @LewishamCouncil?

Am sure Starmer/the Government will now rush out with rescue plans, support, and help for impacted workers, as should be the case.

Creative industry workers have had zero support. We get a brief mention in Parliament but @DCMS haven't reached out to help us.

@lisanandy Why?

all I can say is, you and me are one bad unforeseen circumstance away from being in their shoes.

I see myself in every human struggling to exist under the crushing weight of capitalism. (8/8

This won't be news to producers who live it everyday but it helps highlight how unsustainable the current system is. We need to look at how tech and pharma approach R&D and see how we can learn from that to implement a new development system in film and TV.

@chrisdouce @LewishamCouncil @JamesJWalsh what are your thoughts on the closure of @CatfordMews

[Ben Woodsmith @BWoodsmith]

@chrisdouce @gorgeousuk @CatfordMews @LewishamCouncil @Brenda_Dacres @MayorofLondon @TheGreenParty Think I’ll do exactly the same. They don’t get my vote any more. They’re a disgrace

[Ben Woodsmith @BWoodsmith]

@chrisdouce @CatfordMews @LewishamCouncil @Brenda_Dacres @MayorofLondon Absolutely. Haven’t spent a single penny in Catford since and I won’t until it’s reopened. There’s a lot of others who are doing the same as well.

[Ben Woodsmith @BWoodsmith]

@chrisdouce @CatfordMews @LewishamCouncil @Brenda_Dacres @MayorofLondon Still furious. Haven’t been in to Catford since it closed

Everyone needs to book @shittheatre What's Left of Us @sohotheatre right now. Massive trigger warnings for grief but properly brilliant stuff.

*I might be paraphrasing slightly. Just go see for yourself.

@heylucymay I watch this at least 3 times a year and it never disappoints. #footbone

[Ben Woodsmith @BWoodsmith]

@39_stephs @CatfordMews I think a lot of blame goes to Lewisham Council. What happened to the rerouting of the south circular? Why did Little Nans close? The Bottle Shop couldn’t afford the extortionate business rates. They make it too hard for independent businesses to thrive. It’s enraging
