One of the more intriguing #Bronte events at the @BradfordLitFest and an important piece of cinematic ‘excavation’
We'll be touring our ever-changing exhibition on the lost 1920 adaptation of Wuthering Heights, and giving a free talk on the adventure so far as part of @BradfordLitFest on June 11th. Watch this space! (Image courtesy of @BronteParsonage )

We’re publishing a lost 19th C classic: ‘Shameless Wayne’ by Halliwell Sutcliffe. With feuding farmers and the ghost-dog Barguest, it also contains some of the most beautiful descriptions of the #Yorkshire landscape we’ve ever read. amzn.eu/d/7V4GyDX

I'm finally proud of my 1st film. It only took 30 years. In 1991 the film was taken away from me in editing. Broke my heart. I finally got rights back, created a Director's cut & today THE LINGUINI INCIDENT is finally out. Please spread the word. Doing this by hand. #davidbowie

Imagine having such contempt for dead Arab children that you can PUBLICLY whinge about genocide profiteers not sponsoring book festivals. If I never hear from another privileged white woman like @MarinaHyde moan about how genocide inconveniences them, it will be too soon.
Marina Hyde’s argument here is flawed. If you follow her logic, it means that major corporations investing in harmful businesses may appropriate art for their own cynical agenda but those seeking to reclaim it from that are the ones “politicising” it… x.com/JonnyGeller/status/180…

I would like to see a decent @LibDems and @TheGreenParty showing with a grown up approach to collaboration.
