From its enthusiasm for literature to its rousing finale, Peter Weir’s film is a salute to inspiration itself

To appreciate the cultural impact of Peter Weir’s 1989 coming-of-age classic, Dead Poets Society, one need only note that for a whole generation the line “O Captain! My Captain!” evokes not the poem from which it originated – Walt Whitman’s 1865 elegy to the then recently assassinated US president Abraham Lincoln – but actor Robin Williams.

Fishermen 'still illegally discarding fish'A House of Lords inquiry looked at the impact of the ban on fishing discards six months on. Reply: 07/16/19 03:28:21 When is about following rules, industry and companies blame Brussels. It's always about Brexshit to escape tougher regulations. Seems that chlorinated chickens is the solution for not dumping dead fish. The SFF makes clear in your linked article 'The simple truth about the landings obligation is that it is a set of totally contradictory rules imposed by the EU which utterly fails to align fishing opportunity with the distribution of stocks' So how about a more balanced headline?
