I was so pleased that the wonderful film ‘3 billboards outside Ebbing Missouri’ has won so many awards. If you haven’t yet been to see it I urge you to, as besides being incredibly entertaining, it leaves you with a feeling that the underdog CAN always fight back and be heard (or seen).

We all have times in our life when we feel that something is unjust, but there just doesn’t seem to be any way of finding a solution. We rack our brains to think of how we can challenge unfairness and sometimes it can eat away at us. In the film the wonderful Frances McDormand played a character who stepped over the line somewhat to make her point, because she just had to. It was interesting to hear her speech at the BAFTAS where she explained that she herself has an ability to be ‘compliant’ (she had worn a colourful dress in contrast to the mainly black gowns worn in support of the TimesUp movement).

We cannot and should not break the law to make our point, but there are some times in life when we should raise our head above the parapet and maybe just do something a bit outrageous.

Very best wishes,
