Backlash against Keir Starmer's plan to show the Netflix drama Adolescence in schools has grown after more than 1,500 teachers and parents signed a letter saying the series is not suitable as an educational resource.
Adolescence, the new teen drama, is pro-censorship propaganda, partly paid for by the state, that is now being seized upon by Labour MPs as ‘evidence’ that we need more online censorship.
The boys in Adolescence are constantly made to seem pathetic, childlike and contemptible. Taken along with similar shows, it feels like a demoralisation campaign against white British boys, says Laurie Wastell.
Netflix's Adolescence perpetuates the lazy trope of portraying a white boy as the perpetrator of deadly violence against girls, despite this being very rare in reality. But the Government is no better, says David Shipley.
Netflix has lost 200,000 subscribers in the last three months and expects to lose another two million more in the three months to July. Has the streaming giant become too woke for its own good?
Netflix has announced that key cast and crew will have to show proof of Covid vaccination on TV and film productions, but actor Sean Penn says he won't work unless all staff – not just those deemed 'key' – are 'jabbed'.
