Morning refit

This is in the news again, I had to check the date, it opened October 2016 in France --

" I, Daniel Blake' Is Ken Loach's most successful UK release ever and continued to sell well around Europe. Like all Ken Loach films, it did particularly well in France. As well as Box Office success, it was also a critical success and award winner (including the renowned Palme D'or from the Cannes Film Festival).Feb"

Several people here asked me if it was really as bad in UK as the film portrayed, my answer was that it could have been a documentary .

The Economist agreed -

It is one of his better efforts, not least because it is (unlike some of his stuff) not overly preachy despite the subject matter making that easy to do.

Balls seems to think making pro-Tory talking points shows he is "objective".
