Politics, yes. But also film, theatre, music etc.
Mike Hodges’ last film.
Worth seeing for its sense of people and places, especially round SW9 where I used to live.
Or for a more eloquent description:
"Does the film work? All I know is that it stays in my mind for its ambitiously autumnal essence.’ (Andrew Sarris)

Enjoyed Blunt: The Fourth Man.
Ian Richardson: Blunt
Anthony Hopkins: Burgess
Back in the old days when treacherous English ‘gentlemen‘ were selling out the country to the Russians. 🙂

I don't like these AI summaries that come up on google. Interestingly when I was searching for something very specific and a bit obscure yesterday the AI summary just invented a load of bullshit rather than say 'I don't know'.

Dreamed of cavernous Hungarian flats and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in funeral attire.
What does it all mean? No idea, but I’ve had worse.

'I shouldn't look back
But I do just the same
And I've only myself to blame
I knew it was love
But when you are young
You think love will come again and again
There's no greater fool
In the fool's hall of fame
And I've only myself to blame'
Lyrics, Don Black.

Let Me Down Easy is song title used by various artists. Different songs. Different artists.
This one was written by Cy Coleman, (who wrote The Best is Yet To Come) with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh.
It was written for a musical version of a Neil Simon play, The Heartbreak Kid, which was never made.

The son of one of my mother’s friends called her to put his dying mother on the phone. My mother is at an age where everyone of her generation has died. This lady was the last of her school friends.
Death all around. In the end you’re probably happy to die, just to get away from all the dying.
