I'll just leave this here. When this film was released forty years ago, religious lunatics tried to ban it. Nowadays, 'intersectional' lunatics would try to ban it: It's a sorry state of affairs really. Western civilisation really is going down the pan.

A lot of this debate about the true meaning of the word 'vegan' is because unfortunately it has been adopted by those who peddle idiotic 'intersectional' identity politics as one more label to add to their collection; this is an example of an ideology that Donald Watson would have described as...

Letter to Brezhnev (1985) - IMDb

Right-click on the picture, do Save Image As and you'll get the name. It was set in and filmed in Liverpool.

Been trying to find a live version of this on YouTube, but all I can find is one from TOTP (introduced by David Jensen):

No sh!t Sherlock, someone who wants a Stone Age diet will end up with Stone Age longevity.

'Extinction Rebellion' is to environmentalism what PETA is to animal rights, an organisation that does an excellent job in discrediting the cause that it is supposed to espouse. In the case of 'Extinction Rebellion' this meant disrupting public transport because of course bus, tube and train...

My favourite film of the mid-1980's, which I saw at the cinema when it came out:

My God, that is an elitist perspective, well suited to Richard Dawkins' Social Darwinist views. This is an issue of governance that has been well understood since at least 1992. What I have found is that Leave voters were and are on the whole better educated about the EU, precisely because...

Wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta, red lentils, cherry tomatoes and kelp. One-pot cooking at its finest.

The principal difference is car usage and tied to that, average commuting distances, both of which have increased considerably. You can even look at the size of cars, these have become wider as the population has become, ahem, broader. Compare a 1970's Mini Cooper with the current ones!

I'm not looking forward to us leaving the European Union because we should already have left and could have done by the end of the 2016/17 financial year, with a one-year transition for businesses, if the government had had the will to do so. But Theresa May rejected the 'Canada Plus' deal...

I guess that I'm not the only person with this song on the brain today (from before Sting's jet-setting lifestyle led him to try to save the planet).

I'm an older person, I made the change from drinking (skimmed) cow's milk to soya milk nearly thirty years ago, back when it was sold only in half-litre containers and then only available in health food stores or wholefood shops; Plamil (Plant Milk) Ltd of Folkestone being the original brand...

Back on topic, here is an excellent article from last month in by Konstantin Kisin in The Spectator: Brexit and the death of the British sense of fair play | Coffee House The vote in 2016 was the product of decades of brewing discontent. He gets it. This issue goes back nearly three decades...

Maybe Chuka should allow the electorate of Streatham to have a People's Vote, given that he has now changed party affiliation twice since the beginning of the year.

I'm repeating something that I have typed on another forum, but like it or not, humans evolved as omnivores so going vegan (usually by going vegetarian first) requires a conscious decision. Also look at the fact that most coastal towns started as fishing ports (the exceptions being those towns...

Quelle surprise, it is going to drag on even longer. Of course all this could be deliberate policy to keep the pound stable but at or near its current low value to inflate away all that government debt (from bailing out RBS etc).

Unless Zac Goldsmith, who used to edit The Ecologist magazine, becomes Environment Secretary, then environmental issues are likely to be way down the political agenda. In no small measure this is due to the Green Party nailing its colours so firmly to the EU mast, that it has lost all respect...

Maybe we could use the Russian for 'veggie burger' to get all the conspiracy nuts wound up.
