What do you see in this photo?
This photo is a bit out of focus because it was taken on a moving camera phone. It was taken on Saturday.
Where do you think the people are?
There are many of them, it looks like they are all streaming in from outside to a sort of warehouse and waiting nervously, what could they be doing, why are they waiting?
The subject of this photo has been in the news a lot over the past few weeks. Many people have been arguing about this subject and there has been much debate on the TV. What do you think the debates have been about?
Now let me show you a photo taken at the same place, of the same people, 30 seconds later.
What do you think the photo is about now?
These photos are stills taken from a video uploaded to X (twitter) on Saturday evening during the England vs Swiss game.
How did the game end?
What do you see in the photo now?
What has the debate been about over the last few weeks? (the way England have been playing)
The video was taken by Harjap Singh Bhangal at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham where there was a cricket match between India and Pakistan. Harjap says,
"India vs Pakistan, guys, no one is actually watching the cricket, everyone has come in to watch the football. And everyone here, regardless of whether they are supporting India or Pakistan, is supporting England."
The video shows hundreds of people watching the last penalty and the reaction from all the Indian and Pakistani fans to England wining the game.
In the comments under the video, people wrote,
"Anyone that lives in areas like Birmingham knows this is exactly what life is like."
"This is beautiful. So proud to be from a multicultural society."
"This is England"
- Why did all these fans leave the cricket game they had paid to see to watch the England match?
-There is a man wearing an India T-shirt yet he is cheering for England. Can you explain this?
- Is it possible to support two different countries at the same time?
- Is it possible to be Indian and British, or Pakistani and British, Swish and British, German and British at the same time, or do you have to be one or the other?
- What does multicultural society mean?
- "This is England" what does that mean?
- Some people argue that people from different countries or with different skin are not welcome because we can't all get on. What do these photos show?
- what is "common ground"?
- What can we lean from this video?
- Why is this about No Outsiders?
- Which British value is this about?
