Restore Britain ; reopen the coal mines, children lint picking in the mills, build more back-to-back slums, remove the vote from women, mandatory doffing of your cap as your "betters" drive past, fish and chips wrapped in yesterday's newspaper, short back and sides is the only haircut available - unless your head had been shaved because of ringworm, corporal punishment reinstated in schools, bring back the privy at the bottom of the garden.

You could have got that story from the BBC but no, for some reason you read Al Jazeera for balanced news coverage.

Great Britain men playing Italy in the curling, first end: GB lying 1 shot up with 6 stones in the house, 2 British and 4 Italian, have the last stone of the end. The skipper could play safe and easily score 1, but gets greedy and tries to get a 2 - ends up removing all the GB stones and leaves the Italians scoring 4.

It isn't the actors, per se, it's the revisionist history that comes with it. Yes a non-white actress can play Jane Seymour or Anne Boleyn, but the accompanying claims that the real historical characters were "people of colour" is what offends.

This is all well and good, but historical accuracy is thrown out the window. Do you think you could get away with castng Laurence Olivier as Othello these days ?
