The RSC recently spent a small fortune looking at decolonising Hamlet. Hamlet was written in 1600. Our 1st colony wasn’t established until 1607.

I didn’t know that. The RSC is funded by taxpayers. One more thing to add to the long list of things our tax money should not be spent on. If people think “the arts” are so important they can put their hands in their own pockets, not in mine.

Very interesting listening to an enthusiastic Italian eloquently defending British cultural history. Have all the British historians been ‘cancelled’ or converted to anti-Imperialism?

Why don’t they put the Elgin marbles and the Benin bronzes on a big space rocket and fuck them all off into space? My electric bill is a bigger concern !

Superb watching. It was a timely reminder, Dr Mario said that the vultures are circling over the dying body of Western Civilisation because good people don’t do anything. Well, that is a wake up call for us British. Thank you for enlightening us.
