Patrik Stewart will always be Cpt for me. Be Picard no matter what other roles he plays. In Monty Python's "The Life of Brian" there is this scene in which the resistance group is to be incited against the Romans. "They bled us dry," yells the leader, and inflammatoryly asks, "What did the Romans ever do for us?" The aqueduct, answers a listener. The sanitary facilities, the beautiful streets, medical care... At the end of the scene, it seems as if the Romans weren't savage occupiers, but rather the door openers to paradise. Actor Patrick Stewart recreates the sketch in a video for The Guardian. The clip satirizes Home Secretary Theresa May's call for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. Educational television to watch.
"What has the European Convention on Human Rights done for us?" Stewart asks at the beginning of the four-minute clip. And the answers come promptly: the right to a fair trial. freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Liberation from slavery. Prohibition of Discrimination. Peace in Northern Ireland. Okay, says Stewart, but the British don't need a European regulation for that: "We are Great Britain, the country of Magna Carta, we invented human rights. We should write our own Bill of Rights." We don't want to reveal the punchline at this point, but you should watch this video for that.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
