“Fears Trump’s foreign film tariffs could ‘wipe out’ UK movie industry”

The defeatism coming from #BECTU is unnecessary here. Reciprocal sized tariffs on American film, TV and streaming and ending tax breaks for Hollywood blockbusters would generate enough to fund a new generation of #Britishfilm, TV & micro vids. France has such a healthy local film sector because of the cinema levy on foreign (US) films funding French production. Something similar here is long overdue.

Feeling thrilled and humble in equal measure to announce that I won the caption competition in the latest edition of the award-winning #Stage #Screen & #Radio' by #Bectu , the #tradeunion for people who work behind the scenes in the biz of show, and am now the grateful owner of a £15 book token which I will spend on my autobiography, when I've written it. And published it.

Here it is again in a shareable digital format for fans of #80s #TV.
