Oh no. Wealthy people who only wanted to live here because they weren’t paying the same tax as everyone else are leaving because they might have to pay the same tax as everyone else. How will I cope with this turn of events? Anyway. 💅
Some great vintage footage of #Frankfurt and the Römer here 👇
German Embassy London@uk.diplo.de · 6d agoSixty 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.
Hmm, does this mean 1. anything done between 8 and 6 is not a crime (and is therefore legal) 2. crime is not allowed between 8 and 6 (but it is permitted at all other times of the day)
badly drawn bee 🐝@soapachu.bsky.social · last wk.Thank you for your attention to this matter
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.

Oh, I would *love* to get an Efteling-themed bike bag ❤️❤️
Hackney Cyclist@hackneycyclist.bsky.social · last mo.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@indy.bsky.social · 3mo agoRemember 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.
laurentfranckx.bsky.social@laurentfranckx.bsky.social · 2mo agoActually, 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.
