Banksy nails it. We all see that nurses must be helped. Why doesn’t this awful Govt? RT
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a piece by Banksy but rather Iranian artist Bozorgmehr Hoseinpour (2020).

We already do not have enough skilled crew to keep up with the production boom in this country, esp as Brexit killed freedom of movement/work within EU. There needs to be a huge investment in training, outreach, apprenticeships. Not least to increase diversity.
Studios rush to expand as demand soars broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcast…

Lots of people remember the great 1976 TV adaptation of THE SIGNALMAN, which was shown at Christmas for many years.
This new radio adaptation with @JamesPurefoy and me continues the tradition of having the solstice bejesus scared out of you
We have an eerie treat for you. On Christmas Day, just after the King’s Speech, Charles Dicken’s great short story The Signalman gets a brilliant and spooky new @BBCRadio4 adaptation by @JHollowayPlays.
The great Sam West is The Signalman. I am The Visitor. We hope you enjoy it..

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
By Charles Dickens
Abridged by The Secret Tory
CHAPTER ONE – BORIS JOHNSON’S GHOST
Old Boris Johnson was as dead as a doornail. The wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for.

Many thanks to the national press for all the happy reviews this week… and moreover for keeping them spoiler-free. I’m very grateful on both counts. Don’t leave it too long if you’re thinking of coming.
