If it's not about wokism, but just some general desire to give aid to globalist warm-fuzzy feeling-ness, then they should....organise a private fund and invest in non-European businesses with an eye to making industries here more competitive by raising wages over there.
...or maybe this isn't abut aid, but a desire to LOOK like we're giving aid. Showy narcissism. That would explain the obsession with the state doing it with tax payer's money.
They're rich enough, so they should be able to do it privately.

An independent online distributor might be able to resist cancellation. If adult movie websites can get away with the stuff they show, a comparatively inoffensive film site showing U.S efforts to tame the Barabary states should be ok.
I could be totally wrong of course, but Toby Young, Lawrence Fox, and GB News shows that such a fightback might be possible.

That merely shows the decline of our civilisation. Art can inform as well as entertain. "Contagion" apparently informed Matt Hancock. To dismiss a keystone of creation as ephemeral- however much you may admire that ephemera- is to throw away the potential for good art.
How about Conservatives start funding online films about important parts of British history? If Star Wars fans can make fan films using CGI, why can't more mature, richer, and more intelligent conservatives create "fan films" about the battle of Quiberon Bay, or British cruiser squadrons in the Mediterranean in WW2? How about films about British industrialists or 19th century scientists? The internet promises a glorious age of independent cinema if conservatives would just take that opportunity.
For an example of expert film making, go to youtube and look for "Howard Day Star Wars Animation". Yes, it's star wars stuff he makes, but the quality on offer should be something that more mature historical films could also replicate. I'd love to see HMS Warspite in that sort of fidelity engaging the Italians in 1940, or another HMS Warspite hunting Russian subs under the ice in the '70s. You want patriotism? It's there for the taking.

I voted for Brexit because the government promised to take control of our borders and regulate who gets in and who doesn't. This is simply a more extreme situation than normal.
Some of us want the borders controlled and hospital quarantines precisely because we want freedom- both from the virus [within reason] and government coercion. Those agitating for open borders are making that day of freedom harder to attain.
