Lupita Nyong'o sums up the real tragedy of Nolan?s Odyssey, says Joanna Gray, after the Helen of Troy actress admitted she "really had no idea what The Odyssey was". But could the film reawaken interest in the classics?

Many are shocked to hear that heat pump use is set to be rationed at times of energy shortage. But of course it is, says Ben Pile. What did you think a 'smart meter' and 'smart grid' were for? It's not to save you money!

Citizen Vigilante: A Review Mon Jul 20, 2026 17:16 | James Pyman
As revenge movies go, Citizen Vigilante is not a fine example. But the idea that it's going to inspire a spate of copycat killings misunderstands the nature of film and art, says James Pyman.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Thanks for that Paula. Its worth noting that one of those who was batoned by the cops at the demo last night was a 61 year old retired midwife. She wasn't endangering the cops but she was hit on the head with a baton. This is a breach of Garda discipline, they are not supposed to strike people on the head, certainly not people who pose no danger to them.
Dont get too starry eyed about the cops. If it came to it they would baton a pensioners demo offf the streets.
‘‘This is Greece! We are not Ireland! We do not sacrifice ourselves for the rich!"-
http://www.sbpost.ie/newsfeatures/we-do-not-sacrifice-o....html
"The previous, hated, British colonial rule has left the country with a well embedded legal and political infrastructure. The country’s small size makes it easier to manage. While Ireland has a history of bloody civil war, it appears to be facing the current woes with surprisingly high levels of social cohesion.
In a sense, the crisis is being treated like a horrific new year’s day hangover: everyone knows that Ireland wildly overindulged during the credit boom, they also know that purging – if not repentance – is needed. So the nation is collectively lying on the sofa, groaning. "
Gillian Tett in Financial Times, 12 5 10
(Google: 'Irish treat pain of crisis' to access article)
The Irish are getting angry, finally, good.
The woman speaking at the end put it right, the message to Ireland:
come out and protest
dont be complaining,
dont be telling me that "ah look what they are doing with the cuts "
get out and fight for your own rights
dont be expecting us to do it
come and fight
i look forward to more action and more vids of that action from TRADE UNION TV - http://www.youtube.com/user/TradeUnionTVIreland
