Is 'The West' at war with Russia? Ask two questions: Has The West firmly stated that it is politically opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and wishes to see it fail? Is it in the interest of future West European security to see Russia be defeated in Ukraine? 1/11
“Just don’t take any course that makes you read Beowulf.” Name the film…
Re-watched “Something’s Gotta Give” a few weeks ago - forgotten how good a movie this is.
Who would have known that the stability of rotation a turbine gives is infinitely more dependable and manageable than an electronic module simulating the performance of a large rotating mass.....
A lovely, and quite short, appreciation of Diane Keaton. spectator.co.uk/article/diane-…
Born in Manchester, I can’t but agree…
You might not think it walking its streets but Manchester is one of the most important locations in all of human history. The first ever industrial city. When the final account of our species is written it will be on a very short list, alongside the likes of Jerusalem and Rome
There is nothing ordained about the resilience of any culture; it must be continually supported and refreshed to endure. If you accept a thousand small cuts to its tenets, don’t be surprised if it crumbles.
Protecting the sacred matters. Graffiti stickers in a church, stepping on a gravestone, disrespecting silence in a library… Culture is precious and fragile. When nothing is sacred, our culture is weakened and the vultures descend. Some of us see this. Some of us don’t.😥
Fun fact: Salisbury Cathedral in England is older than Māori habitation of New Zealand Salisbury Cathedral was constructed from 1220 to 1258, whereas the first major Māori settlement of New Zealand dates to approximately 1320.
And a brilliant book it is too! Highly recommended. It ends at J.M.W Turner - leaving an obvious opportunity…
So isn’t it interesting that a new artwork – even a temporary one – in Canterbury Cathedral today can reignite this intensive debate. I’ve generalised above of course, but if you’d like to know more, you can buy my book. Yes, this has been plug! 🙏 End/ amazon.co.uk/Invention-Brit…
Clueless. @bbcnickrobinson thinks the free speech crisis in the UK is being overstated but that's because he has never said anything remotely troubling to the cultural elite. Try saying your daughter needs female-only spaces, Nick. See how you get on. bbc.com/news/articles/…
And 64% in East Anglia claim that graffiti was by “Nelson as a boy”.
Blimey somebody actually wrote something fascinating & sensible about this! (Also whenever I visit an old church I always look for the ACTUAL historic graffiti. 65 percent of old churches in East Anglia have them. Top marks for Civil War stuff & Victorians with chisels)
This is laughably wrong. Literally. I asked a senior member of the diplomatic community on Friday about the claim from Ministers Britain had been influential in the negotiations and they laughed out loud.
'We've played a key role behind the scenes in shaping this' Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says the UK government has been involved in diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza. trib.al/GMH8aBc #TrevorPhillips 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube
Several ‘realities of war’ contained in this poignant vignette.
1/4 There is one Commonwealth war graves cemetery in Switzerland. It is in Vevey, on the shore of Lake Geneva. Among the 136 casualties is Cyril Richardson, pic, Coldstream Guards & Long Range Desert Group. On October 12th 1943 Richardson, 26, made his final entry in his diary:
I wonder if the complexity of building and managing a stable and resilient national grid - my Elec Eng degree module certainly doesn’t make me an expert - might be lost on, usually, very transient politicians and senior mandarins as they execute the ‘Whitehall Shuffle’.
Spain is in trouble The grid operator forgot that inertia applies to voltage as well as frequency but unlike frequency varies with location Allowing conventional synchronous generation in the south to close, relying on plant in the north and east was a big mistake Now they…
Due to the volume of new material and the government's ever-shifting line, I have updated my rolling brief on the China spy scandal. 👇
This is a further - and very literal - manifestation of the @David_Goodhart distinction between people of ‘somewhere’ and people of ‘nowhere’. The commentariat is almost exclusively from ‘nowhere’ and can’t instinctively understand ‘somewheres’.
It's almost like pride in your country is something deep in your soul and isn't a loyalty that can be bought and sold.
This is a very good point that I had missed.
And I know all the praise and cheering will go now to Pogačar, but the praise and admiration should go also to Evenepoel. In the very race where he once endured a life- and career-threatening crash, he conquered the descent there faster than anyone else in the world. A true role…
