@MiketheSnow Consistent with her whole life then. She was a bit of a political firebrand even in her pomp as actor in the 70's. Always seemed to turn up at a picket line.

Great actress and good for her in actually standing successfully as an MP rather than wank on from the sidelines. For me, tarnished a bit as she thought it OK to call pro-Israeli Jews Nazis and defended Corbyn's antisemitism.

Is Corbyn an anti-Semite or anti-Israel?

By his own belief that people who don't oppose racism are racists - probably both.

@pakman Fortunately for us, nearly 50% of world production is in Australia.
WELL, if we're trying to save the world by moving to electric machinery, then the 'benefit' of Aussie lithium oxide rocks being shipped to China, where coal powered machinery refines it, is somewhat hard to get excited about!

The Kominsky Method (2018-21)What a hilarious, bizarre flick that one was ! I must see it again for nostalgias sake.
Really likeable performer, this was also an awesome small role in an otherwise uneven movie.
RIP, thanks for the memories.

Good question. But probably not the thread to discuss this.
