#Dunkirk 10 minutes before the sea came right in at top speed!
The P/S Waverley, the world's last ocean-going passenger paddle steamer, sailing down the Clyde this morning from her home port of Glasgow. She was built in 1946 to replace an earlier vessel of the same name which was sunk in 1940 while helping to evacuate British troops from Dunkirk.

#Oppenheimer is finally free to stream so I guess I'll be watching that this weekend. I'm pretty close to sorting #ChristopherNolan into the same bucket as I have #RidleyScott in these days, a hollow mover around of giant toys. But then, I did like #Dunkirk so.

'Christopher Nolan’s movie #Dunkirk is an inadvertently timely, thinly veiled Brexiteer fantasy in which plucky Britons heroically retreat from the dangerous shores of Europe.

[....] Nolan’s erasures are not limited to the British. The French army deployed at Dunkirk included soldiers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other colonies, and in substantial numbers. Some non-white faces are visible in one crowd scene, but that’s it. The film forgets the racialised pecking order that determined life and death for both British and French colonial troops at Dunkirk and after it...'
