On 7 September 1940, the German air force launched a eight-month campaign that would rain explosives on 16 major British cities and many smaller towns. Homes were obliterated and historic centres destroyed.

^^^^

That was just 75 years ago, a blink of an eye really.

Can you imagine if that happened now, in the UK?

Social-Media would explode - or would it? The likelihood is that Twitter & Facebook would be closed down. What would we do then?

I was just thinking the same. What if you woke up this morning and this was your local high street?

There was a tragedy in Shoreham a few weeks ago - & it was a dreadful tragedy - which filled the TV News & newspapers for some time. During the blitz, that sort of thing happened every night. Homes destroyed, whole families killed, people sleeping in tube stations every night for months on end, food & petrol on ration, no lights allowed on at night.

It's hard to imagine.

2000




It was Fuel Protest time, oh what fun.

Later, in around 2010, blonde had a monster thread about the price of petrol, & some people got very arsey indeed, suggesting we boycott buying petrol.

1987



25 football fans were extradited to Belgium after the Heysel Stadium tragedy. 7 received 3 year prison sentences, & 7 were given 3 year suspended sentences.

English Clubs were then banned indefinitely from European competitions, a ban which was lifted 4 years later.

Thirty years ago today since the start of the Handsworth riots in Birmingham which lasted until until 11th. I found out about it when I rang home from a phone box in Great Barr. Phone box, remember them.
