"Acredito que tem de haver igualdade de oportunidades para homens e mulheres. Infelizmente na maioria dos países e das profissões, em geral as mulheres ainda são consideravelmente menos bem remuneradas do que os homens, o que é extremamente injusto e absurdo." -Carlos Ramos, 2012
@GilletteStadium The poor organisation on Sunday sounds horrific. It could have been another Hillsborough Disaster. If you don't know what the Hillsborough Disaster was then you need to find out immediately.

@AmbJapanUK@nntt_ballet@NatDanceAwards Congratulations! I still have my DVD of The Nutcracker performed by The Royal Ballet, with Miyako-san as the Sugar Plum Fairy. So pleased for Miyako-san and the National Ballet of Japan.
Emperor Naruhito of Japan and King Willem-Alexander are watching the NED-JAP match from hunting castle Het Oude Loo in Apeldoorn.
On Wednesday, the Japanse imperial couple will officially begin their state visit to the Netherlands.
@pauldav34145637@AmbJapanUK Keir said that if Andy Burnham wins in Makerfield, he won't step down but will stand in any leadership contest that might take place. That could take several months.
@AmbJapanUK I see Keir Starmer said, "we can reconfirm our deep commitment in relation to GCAP". The question is whether his idea of "deep commitment" is the same as everyone else's. Let's hope so!
Also, I like that PM Takaichi provides such detailed updates, including that she met Larry! 🐈
@pollsstar@AmbJapanUK It's clearly a typo. The Ambassador must be very busy today, and he is still providing us with all these updates! Thank you, Ambassador, and please don't worry about redoing it; we know what you meant 😃
@ohmydays1808@AmbJapanUK Like Paddington, the British monarch has two birthdays. His actual birthday, and his official birthday, which Trooping the Colour celebrates.
@JAPANinUK@DesignMuseum I don't know about other Japanese spots in London but the Museum of East Asian Art in Bath has a temporary exhibition of Crafts of Fukuoka until 27 June.
@MoreAvocadoes@AmbJapanUK@SDewherst I'm afraid you've just missed it (5th June)! Last year, the Ambassador shared a photo of a cake he had received.
One of Paddington's two birthdays is coming up (25th June). Paddington received a cake last year too!
@AmbJapanUK Might I suggest you take Paddington to the meeting and stand him on the table facing Starmer so that he can give Starmer a hard stare during the GCAP discussion?!
Also, I thought you might like this photo of Harry Corbett and Sooty (on British TV from the 1950s to mid 70s) 😃
