tbh 99% of everything that comes out of the Guardian is liberal shite, but once in a blue moon you have pieces of actual journalism like this that you wouldn't get from any of the conservative broadsheets anyway the Guardian's still one of the biggest TERF mouthpieces in the country, so it can gently caress off Venomous fucked around with this message at 13:10 on May 17, 2021 |

It's been said in these threads before, but at its best, the BBC's drama division (Line of Duty, Peaky Blinders etc.) is second to none and pretty drat lefty it's such a shame that it's tied to an increasingly right-wing comedy division (rip the Mash Report) and a far-right state news broadcaster

Lord of the Llamas posted:This is even worse than the amount of time they spent saying "DID CORBYN EVEN VOTE REMAIN HUH?" despite the fact he tweeted a picture of himself outside the polling station on the day of the referendum saying he was voting remain. No but we didn't see his ballot paper so we didn't know how he voted and what do you mean that photographing your ballot paper is illegal

still amazed that Stella Creasy is so willfully ignorant of global history and so ideologically committed to Blairism that the first thing she associates the term 'New Deal' with is Blair's dogshit workfare scheme I know history ended in 1991 for these people, but holy heck, that's no reason to willingly ignore world history altogether Venomous fucked around with this message at 14:51 on May 22, 2021 |

stev posted:On first glance I thought this was the 6 O'clock News poem from GCSE English but after Googling it's the same poet. Seems he had a shtick and stuck to it. tbh Tom Leonard's one of my favourite poets ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Interesting that you read Six O'Clock News for your GCSEs. Never came across him until I got to uni tbh, but in my experience secondary education in Scotland doesn't really encourage you to read texts that diverge from standard orthographies or standard literary forms. Leonard was always touchy about his work being called 'Scots', because it's really just English as presented by a working class Glaswegian speaker, and I guess that's why you had to read him in your GCSEs. The idea of a correct way of speaking and writing the English language, after all, is a legacy of the British Empire, and that extends to the baffling idea that there's a standard 'Scots' language when there's nothing of the sort. I know that has very little to do with what you said, but it relates to what twisto was talking about earlier, so it's worth mentioning while we're on the subject. Edwin Muir had a really good take on this in his book on Walter Scott, but idk where or even if I can find it online lmao Venomous fucked around with this message at 14:51 on May 24, 2021 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:Oh absolutely, shakespeare is wasted on kids, and I don't mean that as a dig at kids. That reminds me! A couple of weeks ago I watched this wee video about how Shakespeare's English actually sounded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeW1eV7Oc5A and it lead me to this Original Pronunciation rendition of the To Be Or Not To Be soliloquy, without any of the Olivier-esque thespianism that we were all forced to watch at school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYiYd9RcK5M and like the Tennant video above, it all sounds natural, but also kinda conversational and about more than just 'gently caress's sake, should I off myself?' Once the theatres reopen, I'd love to watch an OP production of a Shakespeare play, as niche an audience as that is.

Barry Shitpeas posted:Isn't all the classically trained ac-tor stuff mainly about projecting your voice in the theatre? Surely they'd have had to do that in the Globe or wherever as well Eh, you can project theatrically without sounding like Laurence Olivier, is the thing, even in your typical proscenium arch theatre. Like, yeah, projecting in a theatre is easier if you speak in an inflection associated with, well, actors in a theatre, but it doesn't prevent you from speaking in a regional dialect or accent as such. The first example that comes to mind is 1950s kitchen sink dramas like A Taste Of Honey or Look Back In Anger, that were specifically written for and performed with regional accents. Saw a production of A Taste Of Honey in Edinburgh a few years ago, and the Mancunian accent was no more difficult to parse on stage than your stereotypical Shakespearean accent. It'd probably have been the same in Shakespeare's day – they'd have been projecting in their original accents, and the contemporary audiences would have been perfectly fine with that tbh. I imagine the exaggerated accents were a legacy of the 19th century ruling class appropriating Shakespeare as high art, even though he was nothing of the sort at the time.

Beginning to think that Corbyn should have resigned at the same time as David Cameron, if only because that would have let the Blairites fall on their swords
