The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up.
Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

Exactly 50 years ago today I sat wide-eyed in the school hall watching the very first commercial flight of Concorde take off from Heathrow for Bahrain. Today I have been to #AerospaceBristol to see G-BOAF, "Old Foxy" as we know her, and to reflect on half a century and more of aviation memories.

My 2nd ever new Japanese train purchase was the Tomix Series 287 Panda Kuroshio Smile Adventure Train seen here running for the first time on Tsuru no Michi after an attempted repair, but the motor is too poorly so I have ordered a replacement one. I ran it today with a Kato model of the same class

We don't buy AK interactive paints despite the high quality and convenience because they sold a holocaust concentration camp wagaming set. Every time we're in a shop and pass a stand, I'll remark loudly that we don't buy products from fascists and watch everyone wince.

The only message that these sickos in war and boardgaming understand is being ostracised. Don't buy from them or anyone who works for them, don't want play throughs they make, raise your discontent with Kickstarter.
While I love my niche stupid hobby of historical board gaming, sometimes it does just make me want to scream. Take the latest example, a board game about the Irish Potato Famine where you get to compete with friends to see who survives best (?)

The Great Hunger
Easy-to-learn, card-driven game, rich with historical detail; explores 19th-century Irish expansion, blight, famine, & emigration. 2-5P

A very happy "fuck you" to John Stallard of Warlord Games, who is worried about "wokeism" killing wargames and thinks women don't play them, possibly because women don't want to hang around twats like John.
And how did taking on female wargamers go for the non-"woke" side last time, John?

Well, better late than never! I've spent some time wiring up the Rail200 board. I've just got the points left to automate, and then I can start on the scenic work. Since I've got a little more time on my hands, I'm gonna get some modelling work done this Xmas! 😁🚂🚃🚃
