The Iron Lady (2011)

Actors

Plot
Elderly and a virtual prisoner in her own home due to her concerned staff and daughter Carol, Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first woman prime minister, looks back on her life as she clears out her late husband Denis's clothes for the Oxfam shop. Denis is seen as being her rock as she first enters parliament and then runs for the leadership of the Conservative Party, culminating in her eventual premiereship. Now his ghost joins her to comment on her successes and failures, sometimes to her annoyance, generally to her comfort until ultimately, as the clothes are sent to the charity shop, Denis departs from Margret's life forever.

Quotes:

Margaret Thatcher: It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.

Alexander Haig: So you are proposing to go to war over these islands. They're thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if you'll excuse me.::Margaret Thatcher: Just like Hawaii... I imagine.

Airey Neave: If you want to change this party, lead it. If you want to change the country, lead it.

Margaret Thatcher: This lot seems bound to do the same... but they will rue the day.

Margaret Thatcher: We will stand on principle... or we will not stand at all.

Margaret Thatcher: It's time to get up! It's time go to work! It's time to put the great back into Great Britain!

Margaret Thatcher: Sink it!

Young Denis Thatcher: Margaret, will you marry me? [a pause, Margaret stares at him] Well?::Young Margaret Thatcher: [Margaret is still staring, Denis kisses her hand] Yes. Yes!::Young Denis Thatcher: [Margaret starts to cry from happiness, Denis leans in for a kiss, but she suddenly pulls back] What?::Young Margaret Thatcher: I love you so much but, I will never be one of those women, Denis. Who stays silent and pretty on the arm of her husband. Or remote and alone in the kitchen - doing the washing up, for that matter.::Young Margaret Thatcher: [interrupts] I'm going to help with that...::Young Margaret Thatcher: No. One's life must matter, Dennis. Beyond all the cooking and the cleaning and the children. One's life must mean more than that. I cannot die washing up a teacup! I mean it, Denis. Say you understand.::Young Margaret Thatcher: That's why I want to marry you, my dear.

Margaret Thatcher: Where did you go?::Denis Thatcher: South Africa.::Margaret Thatcher: Ah, yes.::Denis Thatcher: How many days passed before you realized I'd gone? Probably had to ask the cleaning woman where I was.

Margaret Thatcher: "How do you feel?" / "Oh, I don't feel comfortable." / "Oh, I'm so sorry, we the group, we're feeling..." Do you know, one of the greatest problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas? Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me.

Amazing Grace (2006)

Actors

Plot
In 1797, William Wilberforce, the great crusader for the British abolition of slavery, is taking a vacation for his health even while he is sicker at heart for his frustrated cause. However, meeting the charming Barbara Spooner, Wilberforce finds a soulmate to share the story of his struggle. With few allies such as his mentor, John Newton, a slave ship captain turned repentant priest who penned the great hymn, "Amazing Grace," Prime William Pitt, and Olaudah Equiano, the erudite former slave turned author, Wilberforce fruitlessly fights both public indifference and moneyed opposition determined to keep their exploitation safe. Nevertheless, Wilberforce finds the inspiration in newfound love to rejuvenate the fight with new ideas that would lead to a great victory for social justice.

Pitt the Younger: As your Prime Minister, I urge you caution::William Wilberforce: And as my friend?::Pitt the Younger: To hell with caution.

Barbara Wilberforce: It seems to me, that if there is a bad taste in your mouth, you spit it out. You don't constantly swallow it back.

Barbara Wilberforce: You still have passion! That matters more!

William Wilberforce: [Fox walks in unexpectedly] Dear God.::Lord Charles Fox: Well, almost. I spent eighteen months being torn apart in the House by you Mr. Wilberforce. I thought I'd find out what it feels like on your side. Any of you saints drink?::Thomas Clarkson: Well, this one bloody does!

Thomas Clarkson: [to the baby in his arms] "Strange treasures in this fair world appear, strange all, and new to me." That is a poem by Thomas Traherne and I have absolutely no idea what it's about. But, when I was small I was made to learn it by heart so I don't see why you shouldn't suffer too.::William Wilberforce: [calling] Clarkson! Clarkson!::Thomas Clarkson: Good God, he's got his voice back.

Richard the Butler: When I was 15 I almost run away with the circus. They said I could have been an acrobat.

In the Red (1998)

Actors

Plot
A series of killings of bank managers has London in a turmoil, all the way up to Parliament. And the killer regularly calls about his handiwork, but only to a street-wise, and usually rather tipsy, radio reporter, about to be sacked for his habitual irreverence toward his station and the BBC. And while everything seems to point to a lead singer of a rock group famous for the "In The Red" music which has been connected to the killings, in typical British mystery fashion, there are also other sub-plots to be considered.

One day he arrests a man named Pandey, and after questioning him, finds out that the person behind this crime was a man named Guman Singh. He gets on the trail of Guman Singh, arrests him, and holds him in a cell. Then a series of explosions create havoc in the city, with the assailants demanding the unconditional release of Guman. With the police having no clue as to the assailants whereabouts or where they are going to strike next, they release Guman. They threaten Jai with dire consequences, forcing Jai to resign from his job. Hoping that he and his family are safe, Jai starts to re-build his life, along with his sweetheart, Sharmila. Then tragedy strikes, his mother is killed in an accident, and his brother is abducted by Jagtap Singh and Guman, who demand that he return a bag containing their valuables. Jai is willing to do anything to get back his brother, but how can negotiate when he does not even have the bag in his possession?

Duration: 2:35
Updated: 18 Sep 2012

In the House of Commons, on 18 September 2012, MP Paul Flynn was kicked out of the UK parliament for telling the defence secretary Phillip Hammond that he was using British soldiers as human shields for ministers' reputations by sending them to die in vain in a war which was lost. He compared Hammond and other government ministers to politicians in the First World War "who lied and soldiers died." Paul Flynn refused to withdraw the accusation of lying and was banned from the House of Commons for five days.

Mass fight between MPs breaks out in Ukraine's parliament

Duration: 1:47
Updated: 13 Dec 2012

Deputies from opposition and pro-government parties blocked the first session of Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday (Decemebr 12) after numerous fights erupted in the parliament chamber. Scuffles erupted when members of several parties approached the stand simultaneously and attempted to push each other out of the way. At one moment a majority of those gathered in the parliament chamber stood up and joined in. Deputies could be seen pulling each other by their clothes, pushing and shoving. A few members of parliament attempted to climb into the parliament speaker's stand and were being pushed off by others. World heavyweight boxing champion Vitaly Klitschko, who heads the UDAR (Punch) party, chose to look on and did not join into the brawl. Wednesday's session of the parliament was to be the first test of the cohesion of political forces underpinning Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich with an expected vote on the nomination of Mykola Azarov for prime minister, but it was marred by protest from the start.
