Ridiculous. Several years ago the ECHR told the U.K. it must allow prisoners (maybe only certain ones) that not being able to vote was in breach of their human rights.

For the next couple of weeks we will be exploring the "Cult Classic" genre. When looking at this unique classification, and looking at it from a literal sense, the term "Cult Classic" is not exactly considered a genre per say, due to it having many genres that make of this category with sub genres that extend it's loosely related term. What is the definition of "Cult Classic" anyway? The official definition according to Oxford dictionary is: Definition of cult classic - something, typically a film or book, that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society. In this sense is not typically a true representation of the "cult classic" when discussing the modern term as it relates to film. The unofficial definition is something that gains a loyal following long after the film has been in theaters and continues to be popular many years after. Such films, not all, is typical that their box office receipts did poorly or simply put, bombed at the box office. Anyway, this is an interesting topic and I do believe it varies in opinion from culture to culture what one may consider a "cult classic". So how about you? What do Britains consider Cult Classic films that may differ from their American ones? Would be interested to know.

Here are my top five, as there are so many to mention, I will try to list the top 100 and will count down as such for the next several weeks until what I consider as being worthy of having such distinction.

1. "American Werewolf in London"

https://youtu.be/E7BmQc5QKVs

2. "The Big Lebowski"

https://youtu.be/cd-go0oBF4Y

3. "Repo Man"

https://youtu.be/DLGrXGEMOSo

4. "Time Bandits"

https://youtu.be/GWrHViIKIZY

5. "Donnie Darko"

https://youtu.be/ZZyBaFYFySk

Anyway, that is it from me for 2017. I will see you next year, with renewed focus and determination to to make 2018 the best year ever. Happy New Year every one, have fun and please drink responsibly!

Well The US is aligning to cut aid to both the UN and Pakistan, so if it is good for the goose then it is good for the gander. Besides why continue aid to countries that want to burn our flag? I suspect the UK is no exception.

No foreign aid to countries with a space program, countries who hate us, countries with corrupt dictators... whoops, that's all of them. So, let's do away with foreign aid altogether and spend the money on ourselves.

By the way, how much does it cost to service our national debt?

And... more immigration, bigger population so bigger GDP and the more we give away...

Katie Hopkins can't seem to hold down a job. A bit like the posters here in the "Hole"

"The decision comes in response to her tweeting that a “final solution” is required in reaction to the suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena on Monday night, which killed 22 and injured 64.

The tweet seemed to imply Hopkins was calling for a genocide against Muslims, as it mirrors the Nazi’s ‘Final Solution’ of ethnic cleansing against the Jewish people.

The tweet was quickly removed from Hopkins’ account, but that did not stop people from reporting her to police.

Hopkins, a columnist and media personality, first rose to fame after her appearance on TV show The Apprentice. She has gained notoriety for airing controversial views on immigration, the refugee crisis and Islam.

Social media users have flocked to Twitter to celebrate Hopkins’ dismissal."

Gone to a better place

What a really well thought out post. Must have taken you a while. So.... as a senior member you have the bizarre talent to make the assumption that people who post here can't hold a job down. Interesting skill you think you have, perhaps your time would be better spent learning how to trade as assessing the possibilities of people holding a job down probably won't be too rewarding.

What if they all have independent financial means and don't need to hold a job down ? Oooh now there's a thought that would make your wounds smart.
