    Or as Shaw put it, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. Trying to adapt the world instead of adapting to it.
    I’ve always thought it a great principle to follow

    early on George uses the line ‘ I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore’

    it comes from a film called ‘Network’ from 1976

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(1976_film)

    I remember Charlotte Church using the line some years back too,

    it’s a very good film, it translates to today very well and also is a reminder that the world was just as insane in the 1970’s as it is today,

    I think anyone revisiting the film would see how this line would work well today as a protest cry,

    I don’t know why, but the link to this is just not appearing for me. If I ‘refresh’ it appears for a moment, then disappears again. Odd…
