Good work, Nick. As someone who hasn't watched old telly or fillums since the year began with a 19, respect for viewing state propaganda so we don't have to.

I would never watch anything like this except for work. I’ve still only watched clips. What amazes me is how many still watch stuff just because it’s on, and just put up with wave after wave of hatred directed against them, looking for the ‘decent’ bits.

It's nonsense isn't it? Each one of these gets further away from reality. Before long they'll be having a giant radioactive Rupert Lowe smashing up London.

It’s utterly absurd to have this level of gaslighting and propaganda allowed by the state. Shows how desperate they are I suppose. The sinister thing is this drama and the reality it lies about is all intentional. This is the way the nebulous ‘they’ want this to play out in reality - open borders for all, mass immigration on an insane level and manipulative dramas dressed up as culturally, politically and socially reflective.

It’s nonsense yet people would rather tend, mend and perpetuate their ideology than accept the truth of the matter and the grim consequences of this insane open borders policy by subsequent governments.

If the parasites are to be brought to realise the enormity of this seemingly national suicide pact that our governments have had for decades, it will end when ‘they’ and their families become the victims of this. To paraphrase the advisor to Tony Blair, the left need their noses rubbed in their own diversity.

I was looking for some non-woke entertainment on Amazon Prime and discovered "Young Sherlock".

"Can't go wrong there" I thought. "Directed by Guy Ritchie, Victorian era setting detective series - What could possibly go wrong?".

Apart from the completely jarring modern music and Richie being unable to keep anything in shot of more than 3 seconds, Moriarty having a noticeably strong Irish accent (never mentioned in later stories), it took just 12 mins before a 8 stone girl-boss, a Chinese princess to boot, was kung-fu kicking, shooting and beating a gang of armed kidnappers on horse-back to death. All with her hands tied.

I turned off.

I hear that in episode 2 Moriarty issues 11 FOI requests on the Cleveland Street Scandal, thus proving he truly is the most devious and evil adversary the British empire ever faced.

Yeah you can’t watch any of that stuff. Can only rewatch old films and series.

Ditto. There was a podcast called “Nice Things” that used to have a cutoff of 1982 for the last time anything watchable on tv was made, it’s largely true I find.

When the government's propaganda arm sets its sights on Nick in the same way as it has for Lewis/Landeur, I would be interested to see their casting choice for his equivalent - my suggestion would be Boyd Holbrook.

Nick Dixon's avatar

Decent choice.

Far right thuggery

Love this stuff Nick. I bet you can’t wait for the BBC to do a drama about the dastardly Christian Brexiteer country bumpkin who sits behind a desk and records videos on YouTube once a week.

Oh the horror ! Won’t someone think of the children !

Its amazing what different messaging some people get and these bullshit programs are part of it.

Thanks for the synopsis Nick, I can now safely ignore it.

I did send in an idea to the BBC about a little shit from Libya who returns to UK and blows up women and children at a pop concert. I had him down as an Islamist extremist but they said that was ridiculous, it could never happen. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

I did watch this last night and the basic premise of the show is quite interesting although once the ‘person to blame’s’ motivations were revealed I did think, oh aye here we go again and I had to kick myself for forgetting this was the BBC. All these swarms of white men, pockets full of FOI requests and Brexit proclivities roaming the country.

Surely the BBC are guilty of racism - as they portray a white girl boss being driven around by a person of colour, like it’s Driving Miss Daisy. How did this get past the censors??

Mike Michaels's avatar

It’s not racist when they do it.

Does anyone actually still watch the BBC these days? Really? How sad.
