The world has to wake up to the fact that in no way is murdering your partner and unborn child the act of a 'kind and gentle' person. It may be the act of someone with severe mental health issues, but that is no reason to say 'ah poor man'.

I live in London. It certainly does look or feel like lockdown. Everyone is out. Everyone is going about their business. You've just penalised small shop owners, pubs and restaurants. That's what you've done.

Can't help thinking this kind of behaviour is not going to do the cause any good at all. It's just going to compound the anti-trans' argument still further.
@vicstmichael
My mother moaned consistently about my father. She moaned consistently about my husband. (Both are no more) She moans about my brother. She moans about my son. She hates men. At the same time she says as women, we must get married and 'serve' our husbands. I never understood it.
British film/tv agents can we get some hands up if you're accepting submissions?

There's a lot of us in the UK who are tired of seeing just the US side of screenwriting represented on Twitter. Connecting writers and agents - let's do it
@TonyTorzillo
Sounds like he gets a lot of emails. He ignores those that are way down his feed and only looks at those that are in his face as soon as he opens his email app. If he can't be arsed to read genuine enquiries, I wouldn't be arsed to query with him.
I posted this a couple of days ago. Let's go again with it. Let's shake up the British film and TV industry. Hands up British based screenwriters who need agents, or even just a break

I hear that violinist Nigel Kennedy pulled out of a Classic FM concert from the Albert Hall because they refused to let him play Hendrix and instead insisted he played Vivaldi. What tossers. Hendrix was one of the all time greats.
@JuliaHB1
I called the police on my neighbours when I heard banging and screaming. She is an elderly lady. He is her son. He has mental health issues. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

My vet's practice still wears masks and insists on them for everyone coming through the door. Meanwhile, no one at the GP is wearing a mask. Do the vets know something the docs don't?
@HackneyAbbott
What the hell is the matter with this government? Can't they get one thing right? Seems not. Despicable treatment of these people who came here in good faith. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be British. (Actually a lot of the time.)
Christmas has not been cancelled. That's just media bullshit. Christmas isn't about cramming as many people as possible around a dinner table. It's about love. If you love your family and friends don't give them Covid as a gift this year.

Ken Branagh asked to read my script. Dexter Fletcher is considering directing it. The producer spoke with Joaquin Phoenix about a part in it. Shall I go on?
@RealMattLucas
I did. My parents couldn't afford to pay for my school lunch and I only lived across the road. It was in the days before free lunches for the poor kds
To all the kind people who left a message yesterday and who continue to do so today, thanks from the bottom of my heart. I have this script running in my head that says no one would notice if I wasn't around anymore, but I guess I'll have to edit that now. x

2 weeks ago we had my mum's funeral. Today was the day she gave birth to me. Neither of my siblings remembered my birthday. Thank goodness for my son eh otherwise I would have had no family at all to celebrate with. Families are a bugger sometimes.
So, each week a few of us do this script reading thing. It started during lockdown and we just carried on. Would you like the first 10 pages of your screenplay read by professional actors? Yes? Great. DM me for more info. Oh yeah, it's free.

The Script Reading Panel needs more actors. We read the first 10 pages of submitted scripts each Thurs or Friday. People are always getting work darn 'em and so can't do every week. If you're an actor and happy to zoom the DM me or email angela

People, I would be so happy, nay ecstatic if you would pop along to Amazon and buy/read/steal/purloin or otherwise acquire my novel The Finish. Furthermore, best beloved, I would be over the effing moon if you would leave a review.
There's just some people you know are good. You meet them on social media and they're regular people. They don't ask anything of you or send you weird DMs. They're just nice and ordinary, good people. To all of you good people out there, thank you for being a friend.
Monday morning news from Cannes. Reeling from Covid, the industry wants upbeat stories, nothing miserable or trying, fun fun fun and preferably TV series. Go write 'em

If you click through to the writer, Samuel Rubenstein's bio you see he describes himself as 'a history student and writer currently based in Paris. He studied history at Cambridge'. He wrote this piece out of sheer envy that Snow could have 'winged' his way to fame.
A young woman with a crying baby in her arms on the bus. The baby won't shut up so she proceeds to breast feed it. No one takes any notice except the man standing in the aisle who's eyes are locked on her breast. I move directly in front of him, and block his view.
@Variety
Even if she spent all her money, she earned it, she should be able to do what she wants with it, and as for control over her body. No one has a right to control someone else's body. It's akin to rape.
@TheFamousArtBR
Eddie Izzard, long ago, admitted the female clothes/persona was actually all about his mother who died when he was young. This kind of points to psychological issues rather than true trans. That he can take the female persona off and play male when he wants to sort of says it all
My mum is going into a nursing home next week. She has end stage dementia and things are pretty bad. Sorting stuff out is almost as bad as if she'd actually passed away. We're in the run up to it I guess.

Hannity's book has 19 reviews to date on Amazon. It's at No. 4. So, not the number one book on the planet. Not even number one on Amazon.
@SoVeryBritish
I think the idea that you might be able to afford a 'nice' coat is offensive to many ordinary Brits. We see someone praising our clothes as perhaps not being able to afford nice clothes themselves, thus we play it down so the other person doesn't feel bad.
Can we get the

won't, don't or can't read scripts. And then when they do they ghost you. Lots of scriptwriters here

My father, who worked for the County Court all his life always said that if you don't get any joy with someone in position immediately above you, you should instead ask their manager, or in fact to to the top. It's served me well over the years.

Pence doesn't get to decide who is president. The people have already done that. The electoral colleges have agreed. Pence is literally just reading out the decision.

From her finger? Do they think perhaps a wayward football fan might tackle her to the ground and slice her finger off? This is clearly ridiculous

There should be a Gu refill point in every supermarket. You take your empty pot in and stick it under the nozzle and it refills with Gu.

Heart attack or stroke are the most likely 'natural causes', that or cancer or some other such illness. Lots of people under 50 die of natural causes every day.

The most logical solution would have been for the UK to remain in the EU but gather up all the Brexiteers and shove them out into the north sea on a pontoon.

This is ridiculous. We always knew that vaccines for viruses don't stop transmission. They never have. There's no point in making and issue out of something that's been known for many many years. I'm sorry but I'm not buying the anti-vax thing one bit.
My Dad died in 2015 but 3 weeks before his death the French Government awarded him the Legion D'Honeur for his part in the D-Day landings. I miss my Dad.

We have never missed mince on toast because it's not a 'British Classic' and we have never eaten it. This is clearly some dozy idea by some overpaid celebrity chef with too much time on their hands.
@violet_tierat
The protagonist, the MC. The deuteragonist, the secondary main character. The tritagonist, the third main character. It's from Greek drama.
It doesn't matter if the script you're writing now never gets produced. It will form part of your portfolio and the next, well that will be a humdinger. Just keep on writing.

My Christmas is cancelled. My sons partner has covid. He's negative at the moment but that may change. I was with them on Saturday so I have to test as well. My mum is dying and my ex husband has been rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung after cancer surgery. Life is shit.
You know what UK film and TV industry, there needs to be an independent Writers Room. Not hosted by the darned BBC, not funded by anyone with an ulterior motive. Just a decent Writers Room where you can meet and find opportunities

This is the second time I've truly hated being British. The first was in the 70s when I was at college and we had power strikes and three day weeks and it was dismal and I wanted to leave only I couldn't for lack of resources. This is the second time. Truly hate being British.

I read today of an 11 yr old Italian girl who was denied a right to remain, despite her parents and older brother being granted it. What kind of fucked up madness is this?
