"The Widower" came out in 2014, I don't watch TV so missed it then.
I watched it last night.

@reeceshearsmith.bsky.social is an incredible actor, terrifying with a slight change of expression and muscle twitch.
It's a dark subject but therapeutic watch.

Even as a Tory I must admit Reform MPs are devoted to serving their constituencies. For example Lee Anderson selling his ‘funny’ 30p football shirts in Ashdown & Nigel Farage’s outstanding work in Clacton.
Oh & here is Richard Tice working hard in his constituency of Skegness.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Shark finning is the cruel practice of removing any fins from a shark (including the tail) before discarding the remainder of the shark at-sea to die a cruel miserable death

But still the MSM scream about how good he is. How bad Labour are doing & Nigel will save the country. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. It’s brainwashing. We all know how bad it will be if Farage comes to power. However, most of the electorate are brain dead anyway. As you said, they voted for Boris

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
