Bernard Hill, actor famous for Titanic, Lord of the Rings and Boys from the Black Stuff has died aged 79.
That's sad to see, he was a great actor, he was amazing in Boys from the Black Stuff, it's one of the performances that had a big impact on me in my youth as it was such a real and heart breaking depiction of the plight of many manual workers in my area when all the mines, steel works and heavy industry collapsed around us.He went to the same college as i did in central Manchester, lots of well known people in the arts went there, which is amazing considering it wasn't a dedicated arts school.
RIP Bernard.

Burn in hell, Thatcher....
You are aware Harold Wilson closed 253 mines, against 115 by Thatcher. But of course Wilson didn’t have Scargill trying to stir things up…but maybe that doesn’t suit your agenda?Burn in hell, Thatcher....
Or should Wilson be burning twice as hot as he closed twice as many?
