BACK IN OCTOBER, actress Uma Thurman’s powerful response to the allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein went viral.
At the premiere of her new play, she was asked for her thoughts on women sharing their stories of inappropriate behaviour in Hollywood.
Speaking with carefully controlled rage, she said:
I don’t have a tidy soundbite for you because I’ve learned that I’m not a child. I’ve learned that when I’ve spoken in anger, I usually regret the way that I express myself.
“I’ve been waiting to feel less angry and when I’m ready I’ll say what I’ve got to say,” she concluded.
After a few weeks of silence on the subject, she referenced the video yesterday in a Thanksgiving message on Instagram.
She added her name to the growing number of people coming forward with stories of sexual harassment, using the hashtag #MeToo, which has become the unofficial slogan of the movement.
I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others. I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons. #MeToo, in case you couldn’t tell by the look on my face.
I feel it’s important to take your time, be fair, be exact, so… Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Except you Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators – I’m glad it’s going slowly – you don’t deserve a bullet.) Stay tuned, Uma Thurman.
It’s worth noting that the picture she posted alongside the message is from the opening credits of Kill Bill 2 (which was produced by Weinstein). She means business.

Why the hell would relatives refuse to let them move if the HSE are doing it for safey reasons. Bet they wouldn’t care for the fire fighters having to enter the building in an event of a fire.
Because its seen as an excuse to close the facility permanently-a lot more to this story than whats in the article
This is par for the course for years.. underfund a community hospital to the point where it’s both unsafe and not viable to repair it and then shut it down. These faults didn’t happen yesterday. Years of neglect.
HSE transparency…if this doesnt work to close the place permanently then they will call in the big guns…the “independent and impartial” HIQA.
They paint the building upgraded the parking new entrances parking meters (not used) its like the Guinness Ad Putting the Cart before the Horse you would think that they would start on the inside and work out to the ( road) It certainly wort a bet it will never open again The H S E H have no heart Watch this space
Whats the bet, that the hospital wont re-open due to other issues discovered with the electrical work.
And how come it will take 5 months to do the work, is there only one electrician being hired?
I’m for the life of me trying to work out what exactly would take five months. An entire housing estate wouldn’t take that and it’s not as if the nursing home wouldn’t have the “ground work” already done such as walls chased etc.. There’s something else going on here.
oh PLEASE!! the HSE care about vulnerable patients……there is certainly an agenda here and it is most certainly not for the good of the patients…..5 months to fix electrical work!!! the same crowd that has minimum entry ( if that) looking after vulnerable people and some dont even have functional english!!!
have your say
