@Cicero this one's for you mate!

It's not even about Leave or Remain. It's just a totally cynical coup, get Brexit done regardless of how dodgy your tactics are. If this was over anything else then there would be full blown outrage but since the day this referendum was put forward nobody gives a shit about morals, immigration, imports, exports, the pound or the euro, the backstop, a trade deal. 90% of people on both sides just care about being on the side who wins. Remainers just want to have it overturned and say "told you so" at the "closet racists" who voted to Leave, while Leave voters just want to be vindicated in their vote to Leave and their bleating about "Remoaners" and "Project Fear" to be proven right. Another question I have is how is Dominic Cummings, the man who ran the Vote Leave campaign that was found guilty of breaking electoral law, a) not in jail and b) allowed to work in Downing Street again. Where is the accountability? Why aren't the media absolutely destroying Boris for bringing this man who broke the law to help put the country in this ridiculous situation into his spare bedroom? I'm just done with the whole thing. The electorate is stupid, and the only thing the referendum has achieved so far is shown the government that they can basically get away with whatever the fuck they want because even when you blatantly lie to the entire country and are found guilty of doing so, as long as you play enough parliamentary games that are "technically legal", you can select your own prime minister without an election, you can shut the government down whenever it suits you and you can employ known political criminals to advise you on the timings of your "technically legal" tactics. I'm disgusted by the whole thing. I could swallow Leave winning the vote even though I voted Remain but I can't swallow the grossly inappropriate and undemocratic way in which the government is trying to achieve a result that a bare majority voted for three years ago with not just an absence of information available to them, but information which the courts have found to be outright lies by the people who not only got off with complete impunity but have actually found their way to running the country.

Democracy, will of the people, etc.

Since we're on the topic of the NWOBHM - Angel Witch just released a new track (and have a new album coming November) https://angelwitch.bandcamp.com/track/dont-turn-your-back

My love for Vincent D'onofrio is vast so I will still watch it at some point but I trust your judgment; especially on all things westerns. Maybe the next one will be good

No Kante and Rudiger for international duty

That has to be a NASA fail surely?? I can imagine us all coming in to dock with the alien Mothership on an unknown hostile planet and someone says to Nudge "have you locked the docking co-ordinates in" and she is all... "er.. What?? I knew I forgot something.."

The Kid (2019) A western about Billy the Kid with Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio; the trailer was decent so I thought it would be enjoyable enough. Turned out to be way too slow paced and, frankly, just plain boring- and that's coming from someone who enjoys both Westerns AND slow build up normally. Meh. Waste of time. 5/10
