Nena in London

Who’d have thunk it

She’s f’ing good for 65 - though high as a 🪁

Swindon? West Bromwich? Redcar?

Nope.

St Helena.

Makes you proud to see the unimaginative British semi in such exotic climes.

Here’s how full the Tory conference room was for shadow Chancellor’s speech

Like a parish council meeting

Too many people have watched the Great Escape too many times

Can’t believe you didn’t mention the solar panel / battery apps

It’s an obsession with WW2 and believing the Germans had “papers” and we didn’t

Which is ofc BS cos we had ID cards in WW2, it’s just they didn’t form part of the plot of any WW2 movie

Whereas German ID cards…

Right wing rejection of ID cards is at root a psychological reaction to watching the Great Escape too many times at impressionable ages

It’s all about the psychological consequences of that scene from the Great Escape on folks who were young in the 60s

Who didn’t realise we had ID cards too in WW2

Could the answer be a right wing government and news media hostile to British Rail’s existence and anything that it did?

Though every major party that wants lower legal migration also needs to explain the economic and social choice that that represents as there is current widespread “free lunchism” about it.
