Re: The Kings Speech film - a Critique
The suggestion mentioned in the NYT that Geo VI was a wife-beater I thought absurd: first of all, it would have been fundamentally contrary to every code that was drilled into him and, secondly, members of the Main Board are almost never further away from servants and courtiers than a closed door - (part of the reason that anyone in their right mind would avoid joining the inner sanctum) and another reason why he couldn't possibly have been a wife-beater - let alone his queen's obvious adoration of him and guardianship of his memory. 'Guardian on steroids': I like it!

Re: The Kings Speech film - a Critique
It's nice to know that crude stereotypes still abound.
Me must have an awful lot of dentists sat around doing fuck all in the U.K, what, with all the bad teeth.
You confuse, remedial and dental hygene work with cosmetic work.

On the Eileen Dunne photo I was a little bombastic and 'influential' would have been a better way to put it; it was, after all published. On our future queen: I thought that she was a robust 'English Rose' type.

Did you realise that it is called "stuttering" in Canada, USA and Australia but known as "stammering" in UK.

What pretentious twaddle! (The review that is)
