Throughout the #COVID19 lockdown people have been sharing feelgood stuff that they hope will give succour to their fellow citizens. My recommendation is the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, which is available in full online
There are plenty of reasons why the #London2012 opening ceremony is perfect for these stressful times.
- It has plenty of icons of Britishness, from Shakespeare to Brunel to Berners-Lee to Mr Bean...
- It celebrates the diversity of our country, making the powerful but simple point that those who help build our nation are British, no matter when they arrived
- It contains that big shout out to the NHS which is an important, ongoing message
And...
- The Underworld sound track is banging
And...
#London2012 is the Opposite of Brexit
Oh yeah - and the sight of all those people in the stadium Not Social Distancing gives the viewer a glimpse of the Promised Land to which we are walking.
