Black Shirts. Traditional garb of British ‘patriots’. Don’t call these lovely lads facists! It hurts their feelings…

Two Images. Two sets of embarrassing knob Heads, decades apart. Wearing black and being wankers. Oswald Mosley and black shirted facists. In the lower half of the image.

From the people that voted for the success that is Brexit. Reform. The revenge. Love how low the turn out is too. I remember when we had a local election in Liverpool where I live and so few people turned out we ended up with the leader of British National Party as one of our representatives…

Genuine question for family friendly theatre makers. I get the impression that the funded arts sector requires one outcome of going to the theatre is to learn something. Or have a big world concept reaffirmed. Is this the only thing theatre and culture should be?

Sadly , post lockdown - live shows are becoming less and less viable for so many performers - I have many friends , critically revered and fabulous , who are seeing huge drops in their ability to sell - the mainstream dominates - the arenas lap up money and numbers
