- Comment on Hush over Hollywood: why has it become so hard to make films in Los Angeles? 14 hours ago:
You have misunderstood. Hollywood’s writers have been fully unionised since the 1930s. Shows were not winging it without writers, as showrunners were still supervising things as part of permitted work in their producorial capacity.
- Comment on Hush over Hollywood: why has it become so hard to make films in Los Angeles? 16 hours ago:
-
Hollywood is highly unionised. The writers are being paid.
-
Disney makes a lot of profit from Lucasfilm.
-
Workers are sick of being out of work.
Etc.
LA is more expensive to shoot in than London, Vancouver, Prague or Atlanta, and the crews there aren’t any better, the equipment and facilities aren’t better, it has an advantageous climate.
LA isn’t competing with the tax breaks elsewhere, and meanwhile the streaming age has matured into its profit-making phase, so the boom in production is over.

22 episodes, much of it slop. Shorter runs are more interesting.
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 3 days ago:
7/7 was committed by an internal threat. As was the Manchester Arena bombing, the assassinations of Jo Cox and David Amess and attempted assassination of Stephen Timms, the Streatham stabbings, the London Bridge attacks in 2017 and 2019, the Westminster car attack, Finsbury Park attack, 2017 Westminster attack, murder and attempted beheading of Lee Rigby, Glasgow Airport attack, London nail bombings……
But sure, we don’t need internal intelligence agencies at all.
- Comment on South Western first rail firm renationalised by Labour 3 days ago:
All? Not all. One
village of indomitable Gaulsstation remains in private ownership, and that’s St Pancras. - Comment on South Western first rail firm renationalised by Labour 3 days ago:
This is the first “franchise” to be cancelled, the others were franchises that are extant but run by the operator of last resort.
It’s not making a bigger splash because the Tories nationalised the entire network in 2020 by abolishing all the franchises and replacing them with management contracts, whereby the operators are paid a flat fee by DfT to run the service.
The pace of absorption by GBR is dictated by the franchise terms, and operators seem to be being allowed to reach the end of their contract terms if that is in the next couple of years, or else having their break clauses invoked when they come into eligibility.

Foreign students pay more, so they subsidise others, and justify increased numbers of places then available to domestic students.

And over decades, many of you didn’t care enough to vote those stains out. Here you reap the harvest of decades of apathy, laziness, performative “patriotism” and religion. Trump was an entirely predictable circumstance.
