This is a feature-length dramatisation about how the Vote Leave campaign, Dominic Cummings treated Brexit supporters with contempt and fooled people in to vote for them by lying and misleading them about the implications of Brexit against remaining in the European Union and playing on their personal prejudices and insecurities.
It briefly includes how the Brexit campaigns toxic campaign based on hate, resulted in a pro-Brexit man assassinating Jo Cox MP just because was pro-remain.
It also includes how Cummings belittled Nigel Farage and Aaron Banks and used Boris Johnson and Michael Gove as puppets – and includes the bus promise of £350m for the NHS if Brexit won – which was proven as a lie.
It shows how they illegally used peoples data with Cambridge Analytica software.

Sitting in Limbo (2020)
I watched this drama on BBC iPlayer.
It is based on the true story of Anthony Bryan who was caught up in the Windrush Scandal and was one of many people wrongfully detained by the Home Office between 2012 and 2017 despite having a legal right to live in the UK due to the “hostile environment” promoted by the Tory Government.
The drama shows the lengths he had to go to to clear his name and stay in the country.

This is the DVD of the first TV series from Mischief Theatre Company. It includes 6 episodes which are each just under 30 minutes.
Every episode is hilarious, with many laugh out loud moments in each mini-farce. These are set in the universe of the Cornely Dramatic Society, and continuing in-jokes from some of their earlier productions.
The episodes are:
Spirit of Christmas – Set at Christmas where a girl needs help believing in the magic of Christmas.
The Pilot (not The Pilot) – Set in WW2 about pilots.
A Trial to Watch – A courtroom drama.
The Lodge – A thriller about a spooky haunted house
Harper’s Locket – A costume drama.
90 Degrees – Family dama set in the deep south with some sets at 90 degrees to each other.
Hopefully, there will be many more episodes to come and DVDs of their other productions.
