I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.

The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.

@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.

To get them to listen, pls retweet

Amazing to see so many people both young and elders at the #TimeTravelTram VR Pop Up with @flatpack @BM_AG today experiencing stories of the past about Industry, protest, english eccentricities, the high street, cinema, music and youth culture #immersive #B2022Festival @xolabs

[clarered @clarered]

This a great and useful read for anyone working in culture on how the powerful few use metaphors in their storytelling to divide by race, class and other lines - and how not to get sucked into language around Culture Wars etc

[Surfing Light Beams @SurfingBeams]

Jump down the #TimeTravelTram VR rabbit hole this Saturday @BM_AG with @flatpack & be transported back in time to see industry, protest, knobbly knees, Desi pubs, mods, rockers & much more @CreativeBCuk @beatfreeks @brummusicpics @BirmCons @xolabs @birminghamcg22 #B2022Festival

[Flatpack Festival @flatpack]

We’ll be over at @BM_AG on Sunday for a day of reminiscing about cinema trips gone by 📽️

Joining us for the day are the Time Travel Tram team (say that ten times fast), providing VR trips into fantastical worlds full of characters of West Midlands past.
