To the many people asking “Why don’t you just stick to film reviews?”, my answer would be; “Why don’t you just stick to [insert your own profession which probably doesn’t include being an alt-right apologist on Twitter here]. That should save us all some time.

Dear Europe. Just a reminder that UK is ruled by Democracy, Law and Parliament and not by some autocratic man-baby and his gang of overprivileged reclining goons. So, the first letter is from us, and matters; the second is from them, and doesn't. Hope that clears it up. Thanks!

Very proud that Daily Mail TV critic Christopher Stevens has maintained his unbroken run of absolutely hating every episode of SECRETS OF CINEMA. Chris found night's Brit Comedy ep "laboured and ham-fisted". Excellent! This "waffling film critic" takes that as a huge compliment!
