THREAD: #TandavOnPrime

Things to notice:

1) Shri Ram is getting popular & this is making Shiv ji insecure & he wonders what should he do to get more popular.

2) Farmer Protests - It shows how the Central Government is forcibly taking away the land from the poor farmers.

1/n

3) Fake encounter being done by police to suppress the protests.

4) How it is the muslims who are always at the receiving end of everything bad & how they are always targeted because of their religion.

5) Attack on UAPA.

2/n
6) The "Azaadi" chants of JNU. Interestingly it becomes VNU( Vivekananda National University) here.

7) Also, in the first episode , Saif's father ( played by Tigmanshu Dhulia) , terms Saif as "Tanashah" ( A clear reference to you know who).

3/n
8) It also shows that this is a RW party which has been running the country for the last 3 terms.

9) A senior party member( played by Kumud Mishra) is shown as the one who went to Jail during Emergency period. ( Reference to Jan Sangh).

4/n
Having said that, even if we ignore all this & watch this only for Entertainment, it also falls flat there. The show is a perfect example of a stylized exterior beneath an undercooked, amateurish and shallow excuse of a show.

5/n
The director of the show is ali abbas zafar hence i should have treaded more carefully knowing his mediocre filmmaking forte. Zafar tries to amalgate real time incidents and mesh it with a parallel politics power struggle story.

6/n
The idea is enticing and has potential but the execution is shambolic. One can't connect to any character as they appear to be giving over the top or formulic expressions which is laughable at parts.

7/n
The twist and turns can be seen from a mile and seem to be picked up from generic soap operas along with hammy dialogues spoken verbatim which the director perhaps picked up from real time events in the political spectrum.

8/n
The writing is pathetic & it does not engage anyone at all. This series was just the makers deciding to make a cheap "House of cards" version & they failed spectacularly at that. The propaganda is so much in your face that failed to work on the story .

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

David Baddiel is getting lots of coverage and feedback on his book which again focuses on so called 'left wing' antisemitism.

I will start by saying that I have seen antisemitic comments made by Labour members and some genuine cases.

However, I have huge concerns.

Let's look in detail at this article written in April 2019 in the @Guardian - and I will explain the concerns.

The areas highlighted guide you to believe this was all Labour - IT WASN'T.

It also occurred before 2015! Detail follows...

So as you see the writer of this rather deceitful piece starts with

"THAT CHANGED IN SEPTEMBER 2015" 🙄

This was done to point the timeframe as Corbyn's leadership. Yet the article goes on to describe things that are not even related to Labour, which occurred in 2014.

So... What in fact the @Guardian writer is discussing here is this case - where a group of Neo-Nazi's spent months inflicting abuse on Jewish MP Luciana Berger

All the detail is in the Court Notes when Bonehill-Paine was sentenced by the judge.

The Justice sentencing remarks to Neo-Nazi explain the previous cases too. See the date 2014.

Yet the Guardian writer refers to this NON LABOUR case to effectively make her article a lie.

"Star of David" - this was Garron Helm another neo-Nazi..
