Hardly getting over it.
You're such a fucking liberal!
Sit all MPs and "lords" naked on greased traffic cones, then watch as they slowly impale themselves, the cone stretching and tearing their intestines, and causing them an agonising and slow death. None of that wiberal "shoot them!" bollocks!

Liked, but well, y'know... RIP to all of 'em, but the fuckers who launched this system, from New Labour onwards can rot in hell.

Nah, I expect they've got him on to discuss crop rotation and farm mechanisation in post-war Romania.

Re: Loach's aggressive didacticism. I did once meet a normal person who had seen his Central American flick, Carla's Song, and he told me that he'd never heard of the Nicaraguan story before. So I'd say maybe there are times when beating people over the head with your message is the only way to go.

And if her hair had been a mess, you can bet that would have been used against her instead.
Some of us did a stall after a local showing tonight, some people engaged with us, took leaflets, etc, but it was clear many were distraught, some even traumatised and just wanted to get home. I think many just didn't know how brutal things are, the frightening thing is, the reality for many affected is even worse than the events depicted in the film
