Netflix rejects calls to add disclaimer to The Crown
Read full article: Netflix rejects calls to add disclaimer to The CrownLONDON – Netflix has “no plans” to add a disclaimer to “The Crown” stating that its lavish drama about Britain's royal family is a work of fiction. In a statement Saturday, Netflix said it has always presented the drama, as just that — a drama. “We have always presented The Crown as a drama — and we have every confidence our members understand it’s a work of fiction that’s broadly based on historical events," it said. “The Crown” creator Peter Morgan, whose work also includes recent-history dramas “The Queen” and “Frost/Nixon,” has defended his work, saying it is thoroughly researched and true in spirit. Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother, was one who called on Netflix to add a disclaimer.

UK leader touts local virus rules but pubs are in distress
Read full article: UK leader touts local virus rules but pubs are in distressMembers of Parliament will vote later Tuesday on the proposed tier system as the country prepares to come out of lockdown. But pubs and restaurants face strict limits in Tier 2 and closure in the topmost Tier 3. Other parts of the U.K. — Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — are all following their own local restrictions to curb the spread of the virus. Pubs in Tier 2 areas can open and serve alcohol but only alongside a “substantial meal.” Ministers have given mixed messages about whether a Scotch egg fits the bill. The measures are likely to be approved, despite the opposition, because the main opposition Labour Party says it will abstain rather than vote against them.
