Hooray - the Conservatives won the election!

.....sob....

Having seen other Ken Loach films I have no interest in seeing this one.

suzied the number of Labour posters is much greater, and they do seem rather more vociferous.

It's Ana, btw.

I rarely go to the cinema

Ana it is odd how perspectives differ! I would have said that Labour voters were in a minority on GN! That is my feeling when posts get political!

Re KL films..I am confused at your confusion ..I was responding to roses who was assuming what Daniel Blake was like. It was not about deprived people. It was about people.

Very odd that you should think that, Penstemmon, considering how many former teachers, social workers etc. are members, all of whom seem to be staunch Labour supporters!

Well you are free to think it is odd but it is what i feel. I bet there are far more regular 'main paper' DM readers on here than regular 'main paper' Grauniad readers.

oh.. meant to add that teachers are a generally conservative grop of people!

I'm glad you used a small 'c' there, but I still think you're totally wrong!

Pity conservative voters don't go to the film and inform themselves about the true nature of life on benefits in the year 2016.
Along with anyone else who thinks its easy claiming benefits. I thought the film had a very light touch considering the subject.
Austerity has targeted the poorest in the land.

Ana-apologies for typo blame the iPad. Don't know how you work out that Labour posters are more vociferous , seems like the other way to me, just goes to show... Someone should do a scientific analysis ( not me tho )

What makes you say they 'don't go to the film' Jess? Have you got the figures to prove it?

Ana I expect nothing else! Do you thinK there are more Graunaid readers on GN than DM readers..as the main source of news rather than also reads?

There certainly seem to be! Although I suspect many DM readers don't dare to admit to it.

Thinking have I been asleep and missed another vote?

I too did a double take

I thought most films were about people.

Oh, there was that one on the telly about a canal, just drifting, lovely

And Planet Earth of course

not so lovely last week - ugh! those snakes

will the film be on the telly?
Can't get to the cinema at the moment, sorry

Are we supposed to do a review like the Book Club thread?

This Graunaid thing makes my teeth ache ( it's kind of twee/arch)

Graunaid? It sounds like a breakfast cereal

Jalima when Planet Earth got to the bit where the snakes went eagerly towards the baby lizardy thing, whizzing down the beach.....I switched off fast!

I've managed to avoid seeing that, having been pre-warned!

I told DH to tell me when it had finished, but I did see the baby iguana reach the beach and his friends!

No, didn't cheer when the Tories won the election in 2015

No, have not seen the film , will watch it if and when it is shown on tv

Not deeply interested , I have no time for the new red labour momentum party

we usually wait until something comes on the tv

Phew Jalima that's good ( but no doubt the fate of many others little things is not so good.)
