...... one thing i always notice in crime dramas women are always the bosses and men are not ,but watching a documentry you see how far from the truth todays cop shows are,

Really? The Met has 31,075 full time officers. Their Chief is Cressida Dick, who happens to be a woman. 

The ultimate head of the police in England is the Home Secretary, Priti Patel. She is also a woman. 

One is not heterosexual and the other is not white. Not sure where you get the idea that actors who are not male, not white, not straight or any combination of those things is unrepresentative of the UK today?

Have you checked out - The detectives : fighting organised crime on BBC1 yet?

 

Luton appears to be pits of the UK, but Manchester is a whole different level.

I for one really liked it, the only disappointment being that there were just the three episodes.

There's also been a long period of austerity government and an even longer period of underinvestment in social housing and other infrastructure, but you choose to ignore all of the aforementioned and sum it up with one xenophobic and spiteful word. Well done you.

 

I am trying to figure why you see the word immigration as xenophobic and spiteful.

 

If the guy believes immigration has changed a town or city then he has the right to say so. There was no reference made to industry closing.

 

It has become quite fashionable to accuse people who express unwelcomed opinions of abusing free speech to spread hate.

I know nothing about this UK place but a simple search reveals the following :- 

Luton has a diverse ethnic mix, with a significant population of Asian descent, mainly Pakistani 29,353 (14.4%) and Bangladeshi 13,606 (6.7%). Since the 2011 census, Luton has had a white British population less than 50%, one of three towns in the United Kingdom along with Leicester and Slough.

I don't see the word as either spiteful or xenophobic more that the use of it in that context is.

 

I don't deny his right to use the word, but IMHO it was wrong to give a one-word, simplistic and quite frankly incorrect answer as to why the town has declined. I stand by my conclusion that the roots of the use of the word in this context were and are xenophobia and spite.

 

As for choosing to blame "immigrants" rather than referencing industrial decline in their earlier response, perhaps you should be asking them why?

OK, back on-topic now please. ????

Slow as a wet week. Parts of it reminded me of a Monsieur Hulot movie.

Don't recall seeing season 7 of New Zealand's The Brokenwood Mysteries getting a mention, apologies in advance if I missed it. Episode 2 aired yesterday.

 

The Brokenwood Mysteries is set in a seemingly quiet country town where the town’s newest resident, Mike Shepherd, finds that murder lurks in even the most homely location.

Neill Rea (Scarfies, Legend of the Seeker, Go Girls) stars in the lead role of Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd while Fern Sutherland (The Almighty Johnsons) plays Detective Constable Kristin Sims.

 

IMDb score of 7.9.

Well I watched it and I thought it was pathetic, and it is one hour 50 minutes of my life I will never get back.

 

I couldn't find anything to recommend it and even the laconic Timothy Spall, even more laconic in this film, could not raise it from the depths for me.

 

Such a shame as I was looking forward to watching a good movie.

Anyone seen any torrents available for Season 2 of the Brit sitcom "Back"? I think I found the first two episodes somewhere but haven't been able to find any more. Stars the same two guys who were in the brilliant TV series Peep Show.

Edit: Have found some episodes on Rar and PB but not enough S & L's to download.
