The Arts
A system in which taxpayers help rich people hang pictures for their friends.
Problematic Pallor
Or, “Journalist dismayed by white actors playing white characters in period drama.”
I’m not at all sure what historical inclusivity might mean, given the racial demographics of rural England at the time of Brontë and Austen, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Indeed, what Ms Flint seems to want sounds more like ahistorical inclusivity. And whether incongruous, politically corrected racial casting choices constitute “imagination,” rather than A Following Of Very Modern Fashion, is a question I leave to the reader.

“In The Days Of My Youth…”
Watched this the other day. Good documentary. I recommend a good sound system and turning it to 11.
Wonders Of The Modern World
Specifically:
Amplified shoes and artistic buttocks; some post-election coping strategies for extremely progressive feminists; the intersectional pecking order; and when your ten-year-old daughter discovers it’s his ladies’ changing room now.

Careful What You Wish For
Readers will doubtless recall the Chichester Festival Theatre warning patrons that its production of The Sound of Music, one of the most famous and widely-seen musicals in the world, would contain references to Nazis. Which, for some, would apparently come as a surprise.
On culture for the implausibly delicate; when cleverness is deemed unfair and something to be corrected by progressive educators; and the fretting that ensues when your anti-police non-profit gets robbed, quite brazenly.
The Fretting Is Statusful, You Know
From the world of cinema and pretentious agonising:
The implications of Mr Boyle’s modish piety, presumably unintended yet implied nonetheless, are explored quite pithily in the replies.
Among which, the implication that white writers and directors should only concern themselves with suitably pale-skinned characters, carefully excluding non-white characters, and non-white actors, lest they appropriate or colonise something or other.
Needless to say, other implications come to mind.
