A documentary about Ramstein 1988. You can watch it under
Disaster airshow Germany 1988 shok. It's in English and contains
a film sequence from below which I hadn't seen before yet. The interviews
are sensitive and stunning. In remembrance of the casualties.

Politics is the theme of the week!
In August the Australian prime minister (Malcolm Turnbull, who was in the Liberal party) was ousted from within his own party. It was an ugly thing, and I personally though Turnbull was pretty good (as far as politicians can go). He was more progressive, supporting same-sex marriage and stuff like that. It really made clear the divide in the Liberal party with some (like Turnbull) more progressive, and others (like Abbott and Dutton) not. Those folk were the ones opposing same-sex marriage, and fighting for harsher immigration detention etc. Anyway it ended with Scott Morrison becoming PM (he was close with Turnbull, and is also on the more progressive side so thank goodness for that!)  Anyway, fast-forward 3 months and here in Victoria the state election just happened (which I've been watching on TV). It's the first state or federal election since these events took place, and the Liberals got massacred!  I think the events of 3 months ago played a big role, and am personally pretty glad by the outcome
Those few weeks in August when it looked possible that Peter Dutton may become PM were horrifying, and seeing how many in that party backed him 🤢  I think it likely put me off ever voting Liberal again
