German Embassy London

Sixty years ago, England beat West Germany 4-2 to win the 1966 World Cup. England's third goal was much-debated in Germany, going down in footballing folklore as 'das Wembley-Tor'. Enormous crowds welcomed West Germany's "honourable losers" (Times) home the following day.

He's not in 🙁 #Maccawatch

Counterpoint: Viewed through a brain-washed Fox News lens, it reads as "the undeserving are getting handouts (paid out of my taxes!)". For some people it's all about the punishment.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Love Conwy ❤️

National Trust

Conwy Suspension Bridge is 200 years old! Designed by Thomas Telford and built between 1822 and 1826, the bridge remains one of the oldest suspension bridges of its kind still standing today. It transformed travel in North Wales and helped establish Conwy as a gateway to Eryri (Snowdonia).

A banger of a tune with a great guitar solo at the end (that normally gets cut off on the radio, grr)

Top of the Pops (23rd June 1983). Currently at number 19 in the hit parade is Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield (featuring Maggie Reilly on vocals).

Oh, I would *love* to get an Efteling-themed bike bag ❤️❤️

Hackney Cyclist

I cycled to Efteling, the largest theme park in the Netherlands, last week. Of course they have a huge bike parking area, fully staffed to check your bike in and out but only just seen that to encourage fewer car journeys if you cycle to the theme park 7 times in a year you get a free bike bag.

Yes, immigration (like Brexit) is first and foremost a "feel" issue for many people, mainly because they lack the skills to interpret the numbers. And "feel" issues - do you feel better off/threatened/betrayed? - can always be exploited by bad faith media/politicians, no matter what the data say

Indy

Remember also that the average voter, when polled, says "immigration is a top concern" but also cannot identify ups and downs of immigration figures (or numbers re: small boats). Hence, these policies have no effect on public opinion. So it's actually just catering to a delusion. (Harsh, but true.)

Remarks like "sold down the river" and "betrayed" imply a lack of agency and victimhood - the idea that others, somehow, are to blame for how these people voted - voluntarily and without any duress - in the Brexit referendum.

Actually, Brexit was a bad idea from the start. You were not betrayed. You just didn't bother to think through the consequences of your choices.
