Another (Bounty) killer thread of exegesis on the celluloid West.

Well worth reading to the end of a thread combining the mythology of the Old West with the "real" fiction of the new movies.
My Darling Clementine is the best Wyatt Earp film & among the least accurate, despite John Ford knowing Wyatt Earp personally. Contrary to Ford's claims, his film wasn't based on Earp's own account of his time in Tombstone, but rather an earlier film whose director also knew the lawman. A 🧵

I mean I’m so glad you have private healthcare and were obviously seen really quickly but PLEASE, don’t you fucking dare start talking about ‘targeted screening or other fast track treatments’ when your austerity has caused the mess the NHS is in.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

As soon as a UK government of any party appoints a brown female politician as a Home Secretary my heart sinks because I know the only way she has reached that position is a willingness to cheerlead the most racist , cruel inhumane policies that no senior white male MP would dare to announce.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
