Frankly I don't give a damn about this boring & overrated old movie but 2020 is starting to look a lot more like "Year Zero"....  :shh

I'm not a fan of the movie either but this is certainly political correctness gone completely mad.

I've just read that one of the streaming services has pulled Chris Lillie's TV shows because of there are certain ethnic characters that are being deemed offensive and racist. I'd pull the show simply because he isn't funny but...

I wonder what Al Jolson would make of this or more to the point how he'd get treated today? Back when he was at his peak he was praised and loved, today he'd be.... well let's not go there

Great article written by a rare Anti-Trump leftist who's not completely insane:

But at what cost? How many have died so far.

i think you need to have a look at some facts buddy.

Fact 1. Firstly 1 death is too many. Out of those deaths how many were solely caused by COVID?

Fact 2. NYC has 25,000 deaths. 7 million people residing in an area the size of Mornington Pensinsula.

Fact 3. America has 350 billion and on a per capita basis is not even the worst performed country during COVID. Worst than the USA are UK, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands and Ireland.

Fact 4. How many have died not as a result of COVID, and being locked up?

But lets not distort the facts and lay blame on one man's performance hey. Or if you are going to do it then others need to be held to account also or is that not relevant in international politics, just over in australia? :shh

Talk about a blinkered opinion. Trump is a dead set nutcase. End of story.
