Playing Hamlet


I’m sure that you’re all familiar with Shakespeare’s masterpiece ‘Hamlet, Prince of Denmark’. It’s probably the Bard’s greatest play; you know, young white bloke, goes a bit loopy and all that…
Naturally down the years we’ve had all sorts of takes on the play, from Freudian (‘Oedipal conflict’) to feminist deconstruction, but thanks to the Young Vic, we’ve now got ourselves ‘a new kind of Hamlet’, with the exotically named female Cush Jumbo as the Prince. It’s ‘gender-blind’ casting apparently, with some reviews saying that Jumbo’s depiction is ‘non-binary’.
Seeing as how Jumbo herself comes from a mixed race background, it also looks as though this effort is ‘colour-blind’ as well, with some rap and reggae thrown in for good measure.
Now I’m all for this ‘gender-blind, colour-blind’ approach to casting myself. For instance, I look forward with anticipation to see which white actor the Young Vic will cast as Othello when they next produce that remarkable play.
Oh but wait a sec; that ‘blind’ casting thing does work both ways, right? Well I won’t hold my breath, if statements such as ‘we must give black talent the stage’ from the Vic’s Kwame Kwei-Armah are anything to go by.
Erm, maybe I’m being a tad over-sensitive here, but isn’t that statement just a little bit, well…
WAAYCIST??

Seconded. Theatre companies are falling over themselves in an attempt to make The Bard “relevant” by indulging in gimmicky woke productions and ridiculous casting. The Globe’s recent and risible Romeo and Juliet is a case in point.

What they don’t understand is that Shakespeare will always be relevant. He speaks to the universal human condition and should be presented “neat”. Shakespeare was such a genius that he will always have the last laugh.

BBC Bias (52)

THE BBC BIAS AGAINST THE CONSERVATIVES:

If anyone still believes that the BBC is unbiased, take a listen to last Friday’s Wireless 4’s News Quiz (18.30 1/10/21 repeated 1227 2/10/21). It’s on Listen Again on their website, but before that take a look at one of the main stories on the BBC News website today (4rg October):

News Link

An old scandal rehearsed by the BBC and a certain Gavin Millar QC, an 80 something old fool who just happens to be the sister of Fiona Millar, who just happens to be married to Alistair Campbell, poor cow., Blair’s press secretary and a course a firm friend of Peter Mandelson,.

Is it a coincidence that this old story surfaces today.? Perhaps – or perhaps not. I know Dame Kweer is desperate, but his anxiety is clearly getting through to the BBC. This is hardly Watergate, but no word from the unbiased BBC about Anthony and Cherie and their very large tax savings, just annunced, just as there was no word on the News Quiz about cervixes or scum. One of the old garts on the panel even said how much she likes Starmer. Imagine if Boris or Trump had made the cervix remark: they would have pissed themselves over it – Starmer: a respectful silence.

I thought Tim Davie was going to clean out the BBC stables, but the shit appears to still be there.

I know there is a BBC thread but this seemed too egregious to be buried there

The Labour Party [22]


The Labour Party Conference AKA The Labour Party needs a major league cunting

In a nutshell:

“Blah blah blah trans rights” *applause*
“Blah blah homophobia, hate crimes everywhere blah blah” *applause*
“I as an LGBTQA +, BAME, disabled, genderqueer, non-binary blah blah” *applause*
Blah blah comrades we must unite” * applause*etc

The Labour Party is now an absolute shitshow of slogan-spouting circus freaks. The absolute state of it. You cannot believe your eyes looking at them. It’s a cult of jobless, talentless, Marxist cunts.

At one point at the party conference, a BAME speaker asked white members of the conference to refrain from over-representing themselves by raising a hand during questions. Beggars belief. Apartheid by any other name.

It’s utterly embarrassing watching these clowns stammer through their buzz phrase-laden speeches, milking applause by name dropping a victim group. Shows just how far down the crapper Labour have fallen. I think it’s one more flush from exiting the u-bend at this point. And hasn’t it taken a lot of toilet paper?

After the pure entertainment of ‘Cervix Gate’ it’s clear that Labour is a fractious rabble of confused, anxious and bemused ideologues each trying to out-victim eachother but not knowing which victim to plump for. So much so it might implode under the weight of its own contradictions.

‘To trans or not to trans? That is the question’ And it’s one even Queer Stammer cannot answer without galloping over his words like a startled horse.

The fact that they use the word ‘comrade’ to refer to each other makes my piss boil on its own. Don’t they know we can see and hear them? To me, being an out and proud Commie in a public forum is as morally and socially repugnant as goose-stepping around Tottenham in an SS uniform. It should be shamed and shunned for what it is: sponsoring genocide

Yet, Communism’s genocide against its own people somehow doesn’t retain the same stigma as the holocaust at a Labour Conference. Oh no.

Remember: gulags = necessary. Concentration camps = bad

They should be ashamed of themselves for being the unelectable, out of touch, petty, delusional, hate-filled and racist set of cunts they are.

The Tories are such cunts. But, they don’t hold a candle to the modern Labour Party. There is now no legitimate opposition to the Tories and therefore our democracy is all the worse for it … which underlines what a catastrophe Labour cause every day they don’t get their fucking act together.

Labour, here is a small list of things that would make you instant electoral gold

1. Stop spouting bollocks about trans people and BLM. Start talking about native workers rights, the compression of wages, creating jobs ie caring about working-class people aka not alienating the red wall etc.
2. Stop waving rainbow flags and start waving the British flag
3. Stop pitting everyone against each other as members of oppressed groups and start talking about everyone just being British like in the 90’s (remember cool Britannia?)
4. Stop going on about hate crime bills and hate speech and start arguing for the protection of free speech. Also, start policing knife crime instead of arresting people for offensive fucking tweets.
5. Stop being a thinly-veiled front for a Communist dictatorship in waiting, you bloody fucking cunts.

I could go on…

Here’s a compilation of the car crash that was day 4 of the conference

Conceited Independent Guardian Cunts and Yahoo Drivel

Turns out not only did the decrepit old slapper whose newspaper failed and is only available on line these days bought out Yahoo News. So it is filled with utter cuntitude. MSNBC, Huffington Post and all other glaringly narrowminded left cuntpinions. They’re utterly laughable titles and nothing but a slag off to any rational minded normal.

Try this classic

Yahoo News Link

Seethe much lately? Moany Libo London Blinkered Cunt?

Turns out that not only was it such a waste of time writing comments to Yahoo (basically 80% was public opinion) with 20% screeching lefties losing the argument; the sulk meter went off the charts. Eg police were wrong to shoot terrorist who stabbed 17 in Streatham; and other assorted blanket lefty whining cunts.

The end result of all this; ‘we at Yahoo have decided’ that comments are not reflective of the countries views and have banned comments. So i) their jannies removed any rational minded persons comments, ii) they over liked or thumbed up screeching lefty opinion, iii) deleted any comments that were normal leaning if they got over so many thumbs up. Now we are left with this drivel.

Amazingly, I still get the opportunity on some boards to always remind screeching lefties that the Guardian is founded by a famous black slaver. The immediate lefty response is hilarious, it’s comedy gold. Just try it, they hate facts. If anyone wants to share their views on dealing with total lefty brain fucktards please send em in the replies. Me and boys need a fucking good laugh. Lastly, there’s hope for us all, the poor old criminal stomach shooter has been defaced again (blub blub)

David Lammy (12)

Fat, racist cunt David Lammy loves to play the victim card. But he’s pissed off a group that, historically, has often been deprived of equal rights…

News Link

Apparently, biological women (AKA, women) who don’t want to get undressed in front of Quagmire’s Dad or have some hairy-arsed, five ‘o’ clock shadowed cunt with an Adam’s Apple the size of a golf ball using the same toilets as their underaged daughters are “dinosaurs” who “hoard rights.”

Fuck off, Lammy, you stupid thick wanker. Seems to me, women should be entitled to single sex spaces and neither you nor the Christopher Biggins lookalike who allegedly leads your party should be able to dictate to women about female issues. Oh, and fuck you.

Never thought I’d have sympathy for old school feminists but it is very noticeable that it is always men trying to force their way into female sports, toilets, changing rooms rather than vice versa. Funny that.
