@scholarrob Calling perfectly normal people voting for a moderate centre-right party “racist” makes you look a right numpty btw. You’re as bad as all those far left freaks who have hollowed out the meaning of the word. I’m not even a Reform fan but idiots like you are the real problem

Your Name cost less than $7 million to make. It grossed $405 million. Every dollar that went into it earned $58 at the box office. Frozen earned $8.50 per dollar.
Toho, the Japanese studio releasing it, expected the movie to top out at around $14 million. The actual number was 30 times higher.
In Japan, Your Name made up 10% of everything the country spent on movies in 2016. It stayed at number one for 12 weekends, nine of them in a row. It became the first anime film not directed by Hayao Miyazaki to cross $100 million in Japan. Until Demon Slayer: Mugen Train arrived in 2020, it was the highest-grossing anime movie in the world.
The director is Makoto Shinkai. Before any of this, he worked at a video game company in Tokyo. He quit in 2001 and spent seven months making his first real film on his home Mac, almost entirely by himself. He and his then-girlfriend did the voice acting.
Most anime studios are hired to make shows based on existing manga or books that someone else owns. Shinkai’s studio, CoMix Wave Films, writes and owns its own stories.
It wasn’t a one-off. Weathering With You (2019) made $193 million on an $11 million budget. Suzume (2022) crossed $314 million.
Pixar spends around $200 million on a single film and treats $1 billion at the box office as a hit. A small Tokyo studio run by a guy who once made his first film alone on a Mac is making movies that return 30 to 100 times what they cost.

As someone who can’t stand the Tories and many of their former prime ministers, I never thought I would say this, but it’s a Labour prime minister that I can’t stand the most. Keir Starmer has betrayed the electorate with snake oil salesmanship and his love of freebies. He has punished farmers, small businesses, pensioners, WASPI women, child abuse victims and students. He focuses more on the corporate class of Davos, BlackRock and Bill Gates rather than serving the people. He’s failed to fix the cost of living crisis and instead deepened it. He’s the diametric opposite of what Labour used to stand for. And all wrapped around that bloody awful po-faced, sanctimonious manner of his. He’s totally disconnected from the mood of the nation. He’s the worst prime minister at exactly the worst time.

@PolitlcsUK Has this traitorous worm ever answered a question at PMQs? Why does the speaker never say anything about it? What is even the point

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage asks Keir Starmer to admit his "Smash the Gangs" slogan has been an "abject failure"
Starmer: "He promised lower tax and now Reform councils are hiking council tax by 9%"
Farage and other Reform MPs then walk out the chamber
