The beautiful thing is the photo, which takes up half the front page, is a shining example of how great immigration has been for this country, and utterly undermines the message below it. It could’ve been worse, they could have chosen other pictures, so I’m glad they chose that one.
The Daily Mail lead with a photo of triumphant Irish and Ghanaian heritage Lioness players + another anti-immigration story. What hypocritical graceless fuckwits.

Given the star power alone, you'd think this would have had a revival by now on streaming. I assume it's a rights issue? Or the contentious content? Either way, it's an example of why I'm reading through these old Empires - discovering films which I wouldn't otherwise know or about or see.

Disappointed to have missed a spectacular display of the Northern Lights last night, but unfortunately the view in my area was totally obscured by a thick layer of nice warm bedroom.

I wrote this about Chris McCausland last week. Tonight’s the final and we have literally bought a new television for it - like people did for the coronation in 1953.
