Nur noch 11 Stunden in der #ARD#Mediathek: „Looking for Eric“ ist so ein Film, einer von der Sorte, welche die Welt besser machen. Ganz sicher. Und ich glaube auch, dass genau das die Motivation von #KenLoach war. Doch kann denn Kino die Welt wirklich besser machen, als sie ist?
Finalmente ho potuto consegnare copia del mio libro #SecretPowerWikiLeaksAndItsEnemies a @KenLoachSixteen,che ne ha scritto bellissima prefazione
Un antico adagio dice:"non incontrare mai i tuoi eroi". Quanto è falso! #KenLoach non è solo un grande artista,è una GRANDE persona

The #BBC has apologised to the batrachian #Farage, but the sum total of it is: "We reported you lost your #Coutts account because you don't have the money. This was not entirely accurate. You also lost your account because you're a bigoted shit."
Farage and his fanbois are gloating. But he's still gunning after someone senior in the bank, because it was never about money or 'spree feach'. This is about revenge and intimidation, and always has been.
Today in Labor History June 16, 1937: The POUM, a significant constituent of the Spanish Republican anti-fascist forces (and the group with which George Orwell fought) was outlawed and its militants persecuted by the counter-revolutionary Stalinists and the Republic's police, thus making both the Republic, and the Stalinists, more vulnerable to the fascists, who ultimately defeated them. Orwell had to flee because of this betrayal by the Stalinists. For a good fictionalization of the Spanish war against the fascists, and the POUM's and anarchist's betrayal by the Stalinists, see Ken Loach's Tierra y Libertad. Also, Orwell himself wrote about it in his excellent book, “Homage to Catalonia.” Another great book from this war is Hemingway’s, “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
