From Sedgefield With Love . . .

Received this canny bit of photoshop from this bloke. Not sure where he got it from, but he sends me stuff like this from time to time to prove that he is still breathing. (I worry about his health 'cos he hasn't updated his blog in absolutely ages but he is still a regular writer for the Socialist Standard).

For the uninitiated, it's a spoof of the film poster for Billy Elliot, which happens to be one of Kara's favourite films. I, on the other hand, think that it's so bad that the Comic Strip's 'The Strike' is a truer depiction of that period in British history.

We've agreed to disagree.

I agree with you, Billy Elliot is utter drivel and it made me so angry watching it. A middle class distortion and right-wing interpretation of the miners strike (by the likes of Stephen Dalry etc.) Yep, the Comic Strip take on the miners strike was much, much better.

Like the photoshop of Blair though.
