So sad to hear the news that Ray Stevenson, our Pullo in Rome, has passed away. A brilliant, gutsy, larger-than-life actor who filled every part he played right up to the brim. My thoughts are with his family, his lovely wife Betta and their beautiful kids. What a loss.

Trump clearly rattled by protests at over 50 locations in the U.K. today , feels β€˜unwelcome’ in London (go figure) and is annoyed as fuck at the Trump Baby Blimp. So, protest, resist, manufacture that ballon and fly it anywhere he can see it, all over the world.

Here’s something I don’t understand @OliverDowden It’s ok to be 4 inches away from a total stranger in seat 36b on a 10 hour flight to LA but I can’t book a ticket in the stalls of a theatre for a performance lasting 3 hours. Where is the consistency in that?
