AWARD-winning film director Ken Loach launched an outspoken attack on the Government last night, after David Cameron said the British film industry should concentrate on blockbusters people wanted to watch.

Loach, 74, claimed the Prime Minister's "ignorance was staggering", suggesting his bookshelves were only packed with "American airport novels".

The director, whose films include The Wind That Shakes the Barley and Bread and Roses, said the Government should help the distribution of low-budget movies if it had a "serious regard for its culture".
