I am Daniel Blake

I have just watched a very powerful film, Daniel Blake, It is directed by Ken Loach and 30 years ago this film would have made headlines in a  “Cathay come home way” but in today’s self cantered world it has not even reached a level of comment in British society. An incredibly powerful way is shows how hard it is for the people at the bottom of the pile and how uncaring the system is. I was almost in tears watching it and it should have been put on a 9PM slot on one of the main TV channels. But the world does not work like that anymore.

Incredibly sad and I don’t know what we can do to change the system.                  

Having googled it a bit more I discover that it won the Palme D'or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and it did make the UK press. rather predictably the right wing press said it was not a true representation and the left wing press said look at how bad things are, what can be done.
