It's difficult to explain just how bad food was in the UK in the eighties. This was a commercial. To make people come and buy food. That was this.

A newly engaged neighbor asked me about marriage. I told him it's sort of like a museum. You have to be quiet and you can't really touch anything.

It’s Claude Rains’ birthday
Do yourself a favour and watch James Whale’s The Invisible Man.
The sfx still hold up admirably but the greatest special effect is Rains’ truly demented & disturbing performance as Jack Griffin, relying almost totally on that wonderful voice…

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians
Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
