Please help me share the post below. I don’t have a huge following, but this nomination is a bit under the radar and deserves more attention. His committee vote is this Thursday.
Today I asked ministers to deny* that the number of jury acquittals in protest cases was a factor in the Government’s dangerous attack on jury trials.
*They did not do this
Poster for Manhunter. The poster shows a bald, white man, with a stocking pulled down over his head as a mask, to just below his nose. He is shirtless, and has the William Blake painting 'The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun' tattooed on his chest. The background is black, he is partly in shadow, and the image is a sepia tone.

I watched this about 20 years ago, and loved it.
I watched it again about 10 years ago, and didn't enjoy it at all. I wonder where I'll settle on it the third time around.
Yeah, I didn't think too much of Blitz as a film overall, but she was really great
Harvey Weinstein on life at Rikers: "It's hell. Other inmates get to go to the yard. But every time I'm out there, I feel like I'm under siege. They come up and say, 'Weinstein, give me some money. Weinstein, give me your lawyer. 'Weinstein, do this. Weinstein, do that.' I'm constantly threatened and derided."
Sounds like he’s lonely. It’d be a kindness to start filling prisons with other very wealthy sex offenders.
I think this is probably Ronan's best performance, she's outstanding
Bloody Hell Spurs lol
It's the first film I've seen him in. Quite surprised he's second-billing how long he was in it
That was extremely silly, but a lot of fun.
Gary Sambrook didn't die* for people to go around just having one dinner, no matter how big it is.
*Get told to fuck off by the voters
At absolutely no point has he ever said that this can "all" be paid for via a wealth tax. That's just one one multiple ways of raising large amounts of money.
Amazing how everyone criticising Polanski has to lie about his positions.
Also, to suggest blaming the wealthy is no different than blaming immigrants is absolutely fucking unhinged.
It's pretty disgusting that women are forced to publicly disclose being sexually assaulted or raped in order to be taken seriously by their peers.
every time this government wants to push through fascist legislation they claim the ppl in opposition are in favour of rape or at best don't care about survivors.
this tactic needs to stop.
It’s infuriating to see either party speaking over rape survivors.
The system is, and I wholeheartedly mean this, rubbish for most of us. rubbish when we do come forward, rubbish if we don’t. Its bad enough being raped, never mind trying to figure out life after & how to eke out a life after.
Poster for Executive Decision. The poster shows the silhouette of a group of heavily armed men walking across the ground behind a large steel bridge. The sky is a fiery orange, and in the top left corner of the poster is a closeup of Kurt Russell's face. He's wearing glasses and looks very serious. The tagline reads "Five miles above the Earth, and elite team of six men must make an air to air transfer, in order to save 400 lives on board a 747...and 40 million below."

Yeah, but supporters of someone tend to not just lie about the person they're claiming to support, like you're doing.
Exactly
The Guardian used to print a weekly column by Julie Burchill, last in the news when she tried to get her racist book published by a neo nazi
Yeah. Oddly, it was partly for telling right-wingers to get fucked, which I concede, but also for 'posting unsolicited replies', which I think literally every single account on here is guilty of lol
We could not spend the money on that, and spend it on this.
It's fairly basic stuff.
Yeah, it's very annoying
They've labelled my entire account as rude lol
Wonder who the twat will blame this time?
Poster for Jesse Stone: Night Passage. The poster's main image shows Tom Selleck in a dark blue shirt and brown coat, looking very serious. In the background is a smaller image of Selleck standing between a blonde woman in a black dress, and a police car with a smashed rear window. There is a lake and some trees behind them.

Just realised that Robert Harmon, who directed 8 of these, also did The Hitcher.
Naturally I'm going to end up watching all of them.
They're definitely doing Manchester, I got an email ad the other day
Not remotely
If you'd told me maybe three years ago that political journalists for the Guardian would start writing anything based in reality, I'm not sure I'd have believed you.
And Walker and co would consistently still be proving me to be right not to.
Three years ago many mainstream UK news outlets, both on TV and in written format, were already platforming people this racist on a very regular basis.
How does Peter Walker have a job when every day he shows how completely ignorant he is of the environment in which he's apparently so well-versed?
