JHolmesJr 10,965 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Another gem of a tv series from Spud17's new stash. Die Protokollantin (The Typist) Solid crime drama about a woman who sits in on police interrogations and types up transcripts, while plotting her own personal agenda. 5 episodes with nice big embedded subs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with being racist, it would be like having a black actor play George Washington, it would just be historically incorrect. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app How is history being changed? William Cuffay was a black man who led protests against the government during Victoria's life.

I am sure you will be shocked to find out that the black lady in the posts above is actually Victoria's goddaughter. You're misinterpretating what's being discussed. It's all the pc nonsense that pervades the media, in an attempt to make everything 'correct & inclusive'. When facts are distorted, which we can all see they weren't in this case, then that's ok. It just boils my pish when facts ie gender/orientation/skin colour or whatever, are deliberately switched, to make 'everthing ok'. I expect in 50 years time, Boris Johnson will be portrayed as a Nigerian transexual, with Tourettes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He was instrumental in the establishment of the Metropolitan Tailor's Charter Association, you could call it a trade union of tailors, and became involved in the Chartist movement (a working class political movement seeking democratic rights for working class people) after he was sacked for participating in a tailor's strike. At least, according to Google. I wasn't there at the time.....Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to post Share on other sites

xylophone 11,676 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Watched "Can you ever forgive me" the other night and thought it very average, and IMO that's being kind.......nothing to recommend it and as for Richard E Grant being nominated, well there must be a dearth of those around!
