DAY 2 UPDATE: can we get 5 SOLDIERS to 100 tickets?

The response to my plea for the Hereford screening has been extraordinary.

50 tickets sold
One day ago, the screening had sold zero tickets.
Now we are halfway to 100.
I think 100 tickets would make the screening feel much more secure, so I am asking again: please help us get there.

If you are in Hereford, the Midlands, Wales, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire or within reach of The Courtyard, please consider coming.

If you know veterans, military families, cadets, serving personnel, military historians, dancers, film lovers, theatre people or anyone who cares about soldiers and service, please share this with them.

5 SOLDIERS is a film about soldiers’ bodies, training, injury, courage, trauma, recovery and the gap between the Armed Forces and civilian society.

We have done something remarkable already.

Now let’s make sure the room is full.

The Courtyard
Sunday 27 September, 2.30pm

The link seems to be temperamental for some people, possibly because of VPN/security settings. I am checking this with the theatre. If it does not work, please try again without a VPN or search “The Courtyard Hereford 5 Soldiers”.

DM me for press information, trailer and assets.

🇬🇧 Leftist protesters tried to block ticket-holders from entering the Oxford Union last night as Tommy Robinson spoke.

Their target was a debate. Robinson argued the West is right to be suspicious of Islam, and the mob outside seemed determined to prove people shouldn't even be allowed to hear it.

Strange crowd, the ones who cry about losing freedom while working to take everyone else's.

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

If you aren’t convinced that Labour are a bunch of ideologues wanting to destroy the chances of poor kids, then read this. 👇

It is so appalling.

I don’t know how they live with themselves.

@goldilocksrocks Exactly how my auntie responded when I told her I was getting married in London ...

@beckyexcell Incredible news! It always made me really sad that no one ever made this - great additon to the range.

When Labour thinks about private schools, they picture Eton pupils.

They don't think about a kid from the council estate wanting better for his children, a shop worker working extra shifts, or parents sacrificing everything for SEND education.

Labour cannot fathom aspiration.

.@UKLabour are right to be proud of the Equality Act. An incredible achievement. But it's 2024 not 2010 now. And evidently that these days providers are too scared or confused to provide single-sex services.

The law must work for women in the modern world

*1/3* of 5-7 year olds have *unsupervised access* to social media. This is insane. Parents please take the phones off your children. It’s not a baby sitter. It’s a window into every horror humanity can imagine, and at best it’s a mindless attention hoover that teaches children to be absent from where they are. This is a society wide problem. Culture hasn’t caught up with technology. It is strangling children’s focus, learning and thinking.

@cycloxoxford @OxfordCyclingUK @OxfordCycClub @CyclistOxford @CoHSATOxon @PedalandPost The Plain, without a doubt. It's extremely dangerous and you always need to be aware of drivers coming out of Cowley Road potentially making illegal left turns. However I agree that Barns Road is also a pretty unpleasant cycling experience too!

"We've given children access to anything, but perhaps more importantly, we've given anything access to our children"

Michael Conroy, founder of Men at Work, tells @JustinOnWeb there's an awareness of children watching porn, but not the depth or scale of the issue.
