@baronifish privilege to meet you and get your feedback last Wednesday. I hope our paths cross again and wish you the best, and much luck. I look forward to your next instalment.
When Papa & Sons came out Total Film gave it 1 Star. I was distraught. Complaints made. Editor of Total Film kindly said he'd personally re-review it BUT if he felt it was 1 Star, he'd give it 1 Star. He gave it 3. And that film is still on your TVs at BBC iPlayer 10 years later
@JamieKelseyFry We certainly think we are homo sapiens, just how sapien we actually are remains to be seen. We do seem to be so convinced of our might and wisdom and power and have forgotten that we are just another life form and don’t own this planet, Hello Dinosaurs.
@LordRennard@JamieKelseyFry@BylineTimes This chimes well with my understanding of the motivations and agendas of the right wing or Conservative force in the UK. I hope one day we have a party that sees both agendas and chooses a saner path and one that unites and does not polarise the country.
@MarcusMarkou Yes Marcus … that nicely sums up my thoughts too. Although the world is in depression #brexit magnifies the UKs problems, and furthers jingoism.
Inflation through the roof, interest rates rising, inward investment gone, trade deals absent, economy f**ked... Brexit is the cause. No one wants to admit that. So the solution? Let's put all the focus on a "migrant crisis". Desperate and dangerous.
For "feel good" try Papadopoulos and Sons on BBC iPlayer (my debut feature) About a family that comes together after a global crisis. Sounds familiar? Stephen Dillane (among others) is brilliant in it. #indiefilm

The BBC certainly has its problems and challenges and it holds a unique place within this culture that we remove and destroy at our peril. The consequences of removing the funding need to be carefully and wisely considered which likely won’t happen
I have been privileged throughout my life in that I have travelled to many diverse parts of the globe. The one British export that everyone seems to know is the BBC. It therefore seems strange that so many people with the Union Jack in their profile want to get rid of it
In the Telegraph: some Christians who think that non-Christians are incapable of tackling moral questions. They are so convinced of their moral and intellectual superiority. What an objectionable headline.
Early morning run across frost covered fields, down deserted streets & 3 ‘ascents’ of Harrow on the Hill too - not bad for a last run before Christmas. And then as I was having a post-run mug of tea watched a fox nosing round the garden #simplepleasures
Amazing how Japanese software giant @Fujitsu_Global has got off Scot free, despite its central role in the Post Office Horizon scandal. via @Karlfl https://t.co/r54QnLoAjg
