I know what Keith means, and you should too.

Ken Loach gives the low down on what a bunch of bastards the the Black and Tans were.

It's a bit formulaic, like all these gits in the folk clubs who keep writing about the first world war, as though its some great revelation. Eric Bogle did it nearly thirty years ago, and you get a feeling, we've this one again and again and again and again.

Maybe they can use some of the footage from Titanic of the jolly Oirish before the beastly Brits barge in.

Loach used to be better on contemporary stuff - kes was contemporary once, and raining stones.

The one about the spanish Civil war dragged.
