It's not a great movie, but one of my favourite little moments of acting on film is the moment in Die Another Day where Michael Madsen, after narrowly avoiding being atomised by a doomsday weapon, casually pulls out a cigarette and lights it up in relief.
He understood the power of little moments.

Oh, no surprises, just a ghoulish monster gloating over lgbtq rights being taken away.

Patriotism isn't being proud of your country no matter what. If the government are clearly shitting the bed it's patriotic to want them to do better. You don't have to love Britain unconditionally, it's a country not a son.

May you be lucky enough to have a leader who loves his country half as much as this man loves his.
Saturday morning, we were heading to a nursery open day.
Instead, my partners waters broke and our son arrived in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A very early reminder that life doesn't care about your plans!
