Not quite Hull but don’t we get a Mowgli in Beverley this month?
I’m not talking about a little Indian boy being chased by a Tiger
 
A great little film by a young City fan illustrating the impact the Second World War had on our city.

Scary to think that the evil regime which did this started off 10 years earlier by scapegoating a particular group of people and blaming them for the ills of their time.

Frightening as the past can be, we can take comfort in the fact that none of our current politicians, left or right, would ever spread untruths based on their own prejudices or as a deflection against their own inadequacies.

From an article in the Guardian about immigration after WW2. Which party won th election in 1945?

“Astonishingly, Britain’s postwar record isn’t much better. Although the immediate aftermath of the second world war saw the arrival of a large number of refugees, very few were Jewish Holocaust survivors. British postwar immigration policy deliberately excluded Jews (and non-white immigrants) because it didn’t consider them assimilable. Today, asylum seekers are routinely accused of fomenting the racism that they encounter. Similarly, cabinet minutes of 1945 claimed that “the admission of a further batch of refugees, many of whom would be Jews, might provoke strong reactions from certain sections of public opinion. There was a real risk of a wave of anti-semitic feeling in this country.” Yet they had no compunction in admitting the entire Ukrainian membership of the Galician division of the Waffen-SS.”
