We are all the problem

That must be a wind up mate. I've seen a lot of the training videos etc that government employees have to undergo and though they are woke as # they are nowhere near as bad as anything like that. And they are produced and presented in a far more professional manner.
It strikes me as something someone has produced with the deliberate intention of exaggerating, scaremongering and provoking a response.

But nothing would surprise me nowadays.

As for Blakes 7; it was great.
I watched the first two episodes on YouTube a few months ago......couldn't get over the sets and props etc. Got to say it hasn't aged well.
Another favourite of mine from back then was The Tripods.

I'd love to see an update on both series but I suspect it'll never happen.

I hope you are right mate and yeah, Tripods freaked me right out

a reply to: Freeborn

I loved The Tripods.

Shame they never finished the series.

Ive read the books also "The White Mountains" "The City of Gold and Lead" and "The Pool of Fire."

Which concludes with Humanity prevailing.

That's another show that could be doing with a revival/remake.

Especially so in this day of age given the manner in which the aliens invaded and subdued us semi-intelligent monkeys.

You can watch all 4 seasons of Blakes 7 on ITVX if you have premium.

a reply to: andy06shake

Think you missed one

Book 4!

Ya dancer.

Ta SprocketUK.

I take it looking at the title it will be more a prequel sort of affair.

But I'm away to look for that in epub format.

Again, thanks for the info.

I don't think the video is legit.

Which Council is it supposed to be?

"Hogshire"?!!!

Blake's 7 - memories. Wobbly spaceships etc.

Fireball was on freeview. Have recorded it.

I did find some links to books by a guy called J Hogshire, looked like a countercultural sorta guy.

goodreads link

Think you may be right and this is a fake video that was just fishing for bites.

a reply to: SprocketUK

Yeah, not legit.

Sounds like a bit of a stoner!

Looking at his books, I'd say a lot of a stoner

Your second reply, tell me which of those headings is about islamic extremism,

It's on a different page, under ideologies.

International terrorism
International terrorism from groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Al Qaeda present a threat in the UK. They hold territory in places without functioning governments, making it easier for them to train recruits and plan complex, sophisticated attacks. Drawing on extreme interpretations of Islam to justify their actions, these groups often have the desire and capability to direct terrorist attacks against the west, and to inspire those already living there to carry out attacks of their own. Groups operate globally and are very active however, we hear most about them when there are western attacks that are close to home.
