This is the only worthwhile scene in the Crown, at least until Lord Mountbatten gets got a few seasons from now.

Nasser gets hyped up as a villain too, but it portrays the Suez Crisis as a personal dispute between him and Eden. Nasser's just a bitter former subject, not a leader of an independent state.

Yea the Crown sucks honestly because its revisionist propaganda. I kept watching partly hoping to see Irish freedom fighters taking out some of their oppressors, but alas that will have to wait for another season. Season 1 seemed really rough but the actors and writing got better by season 2.

The Crown is British Breaking Bad. Inheriting the throne is the inciting incident, which, like Walt's cancer, sets off the main characters descent into villainy.

Have you considered the fact that prisoners rarely get to use the phone normally? It's really a blessing for them, to be allowed to use the phone several hours a day.

drat so not only are billionaires hoarding all the coats and freezing people out who can't afford to buy a coat but they've created some kind of bizarre illogical system that automatically multiplies the coats they have in their coat stores indefinitely and they STILL don't share them with people

nagle was already writing her book blaming tumblr for causing the alt-right to come into existence back in like 2014 because just like the alt-right that she wanted to apologize for she was herself unaware that there was internal criticism about "woke culture" and "tumblrites" within those tumblr "safe spaces" already, it was just internally facing because they weren't aware there was an entire subculture of dudes in their mid-30s radicalizing themselves into becoming neo-nazis off what lonely 12 year olds were saying on an image blog

...Gandhi? Usually the "workaholics are good actually" crowd likes people who do what their bosses tell them rather than actively sabotaging their bosses, but I look forward to this new opportunity to call strikers "workaholics."

That and she had 0 interest in doing sociological work that gave agency to people outside the altright.
