The stoke one last night was quite touching in some respects I'm not sure if it was me but usually he always comes up with some positive aspects of a place, some redeeming quality and beyond the people he seemed stumped! His main impression is of a once vibrant industrial city slowly falling to pieces through global economic trends and governmental mismanagement held together by the general decency of the population and oatcakes! Both damning and touching in equal measure Makes you feel we're the forgotten people |

Really enjoyed that. Also never knew about the Czech thing. Watched the Nicholas Winton film last night as well and just read that a lot of the kids were homed in Stoke.
The film - 'One Life' is £1.99 to rent on Amazon Prime at the moment if anyone's interested.
Edit - there's this documentary about Lidice as well on youtube

Lidice and the city's response to it is something that really isn't promoted enough. It drives me wild when people do the people of this city down, particularly our forbearers when thet should be renowned for efforts like Lidice Lives. |

I say this all the time, it should be celebrated and visible all over the city........ |

Hopefully the city’s centenary next year will see some nostalgic positivity return? www.sot100.org.uk |

The fact we don’t teach lidice shall live and the stoke produced abolitionist movement and the lunar society in our schools and have a big section in the museum is utterly shameful
