In an open letter to the PM, Northern Irish film-maker Mark Cousins recommends six films, from Neil Jordan’s Angel to Bill Clinton’s eulogy to Martin McGuinness, to make him consider the consequences of no deal

I’m a Northern Irish film-maker, living in Scotland. I have never been great at words, but have learned a lot about life through film. As it is 50 years since the start of the Troubles and, as the backstop is so topical, I thought I would send six films to you at Downing St that clarify why all this matters. Maybe you could watch them on a flight or train journey somewhere?

In mid '60s, after arriving from SA, I attended a performance in London of Richard II. Was taken aback by burst of audience laughter when Richard declares: Now for our Irish wars: We must supplant those rough rug-headed kerns which live like venom...' Audience of old Etonians

Project fear.

Send the SAS back if they kick off, they didn’t like it then and they won’t like it now.

Gutter paper

Hope you're not suggesting that the UK and Ireland should capitulate, to the wishes / threats of a gang of murderous,immoral thugs?

Or you could read some books

Boris Johnson must be some sort of genuine saint for so many evil, nasty, rude little people to hate him this much!

LMAO Avengers is not real.

We all know there are thugs who love violence in NI and don't need Brexit as an excuse. There is no sign that the majority of real people rt political gangsters want anything but a peaceful life.

Expecting Borisjohson to challenge his own lies? Unlikely.

Kill all Form of Terrorism!!

Maeve is a great addition, glad to see it mentioned.

Such weak people that would start killing each other again over some border checks. It's 2019.... Move on!

So... Bog monkeys picking up weapons they were supposed to have given up is our fault. Right.
