@ztsamudzi I haven’t seen this film but is she even a main character? Does she have an emotional arc that impacts the main storyline? Because if not it’s just adding a very real and ongoing struggle to the film for some progressive points (at least that’s how it appears to me)

Why is Priti Patel bringing out increasingly evil policies practically every day. Who is she trying to prove herself to, the devil?

Instead of investigating the serious cases of anti-blackness and Islamaphobia in his party, Starmer has decided to write a piece for the Daily Mail- a paper crammed with both of those things

This is just a game to them. Same as during the election. Escalate the tensions between minorities for entertainment. This is sick

Imagine being blamed for investigating (and finding plenty of) racism in your political party
