Foxy,

It is excellent film-making and a must-see for those who like historical dramas.

Has one of my favourite actors: Tom Hardy who plays the role of a Jewish underworld boss (the reason I brought it to your attention).

Five seasons @ 6 x 1 hour episodes each are available on Netflix. Season 6 to be released.

I grew up on film and was even contemplating doing an MA in film studies. Peaky Blinders has everything one looks for in a good film from auteur to the mis en scene to the music and acting.

It's pure binge watching.

Mr O,

Thanks for the information. As I said - I do love
period drama. One of my Birthday presents was the
DVD set of the classic - " Brideshead Revisited"
with Anthony Andrews and Jeremy Irons. The complete
collection of the TV series. Brilliant cast. Wonderful
to watch. The other DVD that I'm looking to get a hold of
although in a totally different period - is of the film -
"The Two Popes," with Anthony Hopkins. I believe that it's
also superb and captures the period very well.

cont'd ...

Interesting that you mentioned film
making. One of my undergraduate subjects was Drama.
Not acting but - History of The Theatre. I wanted to
go for a career as a drama critic at one stage.
And instead I ended up working in the Cinema Collection
of the University Library at the University of Southern
California (USC). I actually got to meet several of the great
directors - and of course - other famous personalities. It was
a very exciting time - especially for a young girl from
Australia.

Foxy,

I think everybody should do an introductory course in film studies in order to fully appreciate the art of film-making.

An understanding of film theory and practice can really open one's eyes to the wonderful world of film so that one can engage with the film at a level beyond perception and be able to see into the world of the film makers.

Another binge worthy Netflix series that just came to mind is 'Marco Polo'. Only two seasons were made because each episode was costing a small fortune to make. An exceptional production and recreation of the politics in the court of Kublai Khan as seen through the eyes of Marco Polo as an attendant to the emperor.

Yet unfortunately there are still some who see immigrants as "ethnics" even though their families did not get off the boat yesterday. That's par
for the course considering the history of this country. But they are in the minority - and they are a dying breed. who one day will be pushing up cabbages or potatoes. That's about all they're good for.

Answer-

Maybe you can also use my bones to make mortar- my skin is also very rhythmic-

I guess that Foxy thinks that those that believe that "a minority local culture that believe they have the right to their own creations" should be killed. Who is the "Nazi" now? What's her opinion about Israel? I shudder to imagine.

Isn't multiculturalism a form of cultural approapriation? The philosophy that what's mine is mine and what's your's is mine. Just make sure to lock up your silverwear when Foxy comes around. ;)

I guess that's why Local Cultures don't like Globalists. They probably wouldn't mind those from other places if they didn't try to tell the locals how to live their lives. This cultural division embodied in multiculturalism is the aim of cultural elitists. The immigrants may not have invented "Globalist Propaganda"- but they certainly use it to great self advantage.

Mao believed that killing is an extension of politics. It seems that even Foxy agrees that mass cultural genocide is an acceptable solution to political problems. Maybe she's right ... I'm not satisfied that this is a step that should be taken before all options are exhausted- and other options are pretty much always available.

Most nations accept that assassination is sometimes necessary- but mass cleansing is another level.

Perhaps Foxy will one day be able to see the world in a more diverse perspective and accept that all cultures have a right to self determination as is outlined in the UN Human Rights Principles.

Growth is limited in a finite world- most conflicts occur because of scarce resources- that's why the world needs to encourage population restraint.

Globalist philosophy is wrong.

Answer-

I can understand why Foxy wants "stupid cabbage headed British Australian's" dead- because her self interest and power is perhaps vested in that philosophy.

Perhaps immigrants (or your word ethnics) see themselves as different than other Australians too- even though they didn't get off the boat yesterday- and they are in fact different- because they have a different heritage. When people of non-British heritage promote non-British immigration and then call any objections to this policy as racist- I can understand why people of British heritage don't like those of "immigrant or non-British heritage".

I feel sad for those of immigrant families that feeling in the minority and so want to create cosmopolitanism out of our home. It's a classic power struggle between those that have something and those that want it.

It's like that paradox of the open market- elite buyers and sellers like it- but it isn't nice to work in a company that is exposed to the instability of the markets.

My solution to this is not wanting reciprocated death pacts on Foxy (that's too easy) and people like her but to slowly create a world where resources are made less scarce through population reduction. There are those that just want power and they will do it at the expense of everyone else- as they say "get rich or die trying". My view is that population reductions in the world will create greater opportunity for happiness- people will have more opportunity to form communities of like minded and cultured people. The slogans of the communists say "all wars are racist wars" and "all wars relate to class struggle" and "culture is the domain of the elites" and "all property should be owned by the global people's state" - this seems to have also infected the Economic Liberals- in Australia the Liberal Party.

I would have hoped that the respect and loyalty towards British Australian's generousity towards Foxy's parents would have carried over to the following generations. But sadly no good deed goes unpunished
