how it started how it's going

Horror fans braved cold 4 pop-up cinema curated by Exeter MA Int film business students. Part of BFI In Dreams are Monsters season. More films tonight! exeterphoenix.org.uk/genre/monster-…

We're years into it now, but the experience of being relentlessly lied to, like a firehose of sewage, is tiresome in the extreme.

If the Prime Minister didn't know a birthday party was violating his own fucking lockdown rules maybe it's not a great idea to have him in charge of a country during a fucking war

The @UofEHumanities College at @UniofExeter is "delighted to offer studentships to fund PhD Film by Practice as split-site degree with LFS." 📽️ up to 3 years 💰 tuition + maintenance (£15,609 pa) 🌍 UK & International students Deadline: 19 April 2021 🎦 exeter.ac.uk/studying/fundi…

Just about sums it up...

Hard to feel very cheerful just now, but knowing that @BorisJohnson will be giving £350 million to the NHS this week certainly helps.

Tomorrow at 9pm on #channel4 - watch our latest doc about the incredible scientist-turned-cyborg Peter Scott-Morgan. @cardiffprods #PeterTheHumanCyborg

@SamuelMarcLowe If there's one thing that's consistently worked for this party it's massively underestimating the complexity of a problem and assuming they can "just get on with it." I was thinking about this as I used my UK Test and Trace App to catch a Brexit Ferry to get my A-Levels.

Imagine a country where a politician’s think tank calls for abolition of a major public health body, it gets broken up during a pandemic, its replacement is established in a few days, and the politician’s wife, with no public health experience, is appointed to run it. That’s us.

Instead of tweeting "my A-Levels were shit & I'm still a millionaire" how about you appreciate your experience is of no relevance to a group of people graduating into a global pandemic & a government who decided to have the papers marked down by HAL from 2001 & shut the fuck up.

Even now, after years of this godawful embarrassing shite, it's hard to believe this is real.

REMEMBER: Boris Johnson called #NoDealBrexit a "failure of statecraft" which "business, farmers and millions of ordinary people are counting on" him to avoid. And now that's exactly where we're heading... DURING A F****** PANDEMIC RECESSION.

"The only way the government get away with this is by making it our fault": James O'Brien's passionate response to the poll that shows people would blame the public for a second spike in coronavirus. @mrjamesob

This is awful. He needs to do a press-up. Fast.

Seriously Mr Farage. Don’t use a tragedy in our city to spread your fear and hatred. Glasgow has seen your kind before and always sent a united message- “get yerself tae f...!”

A thread on the outrage (and worse) directed against my colleague Priya Gopal yesterday.

"Race is a construct. But racism is real. It’s not the virus that discriminates; it is society. Inequality is killing us: racism is a pre-existing condition." My piece on what the disproportionate number of black deaths from COVID tell us about racism. bit.ly/2MsChqZ

I suppose this is what happens when a bunch of fucking idiots meet an arrogant fucking idiot who tells them he’s a genius.
