During the 1980s, an office of the South African Consulate-General was located in Glasgow, Scotland. This was during the discriminatory Apartheid era (and when Nelson Mandela was still in jail).
The city of Glasgow, not a fan of those policies or government, had the area the office was in – and the address their mail was posted to – changed to “Nelson Mandela Place”. So any letters that were delivered to the Apartheid government representative in Scotland had to be posted to an address named for their imprisoned chief opposition.
The story has stuck with me since I first heard it on US TV over a decade ago (TV host Craig Ferguson, who is from Glasgow, was interviewing the other anti-Apartheid figure of that era, Archbishop Desmond Tutu)
mes vis dar turim okupantu ambasada?
Great way to start my morning
Kvailas pasirinkimas. Geriau būtų pervadinę taip gatvę, kur Ukrainos ambasada stovi, arba kremliaus ambasados gatvę kaip nors šlykščiau, jei ten nėra kitų objektų.
Rusams arba giliai dzin arba net į naudą toks pavadinimas. Jie ir taip skelbiasi esantys Ukrainos gelbėtojai, o Vilnius ką tik tai “pripažino”.
Mąstyti reikėtų prieš darant, o ne pasiduoti hormonų pliūpsniams.
Kitaip tariant, rusus Ukrainos didvyriais amžiams (kol nepasikeis adresas) išvadinom? Kviečiam Putiną į Hagą angliškai? Į kurią pusę šitam kare Šimašius šaudo?
Goes well with Nemtsov park.
Suggest you also post it to r/ukraine
This is great! Maybe it will start a trend and other countries will follow along….Greece, Germany, France…spread the word!
Online we call this trolling
That’s what I call a pro gamer move
Taikliai ir skaudžiai. Nenustebins jei greitu metu susipakuos lagaminus namo 😀
