Life Coaching, cultural lecturer, charity comms. Less & less active on Musk's corrupted platform; he & the malign orange man-child can ruin the USA without me.

This addictive space, for all the valiant folk trying to use it for fun, reflection & information, is now the corrupted plaything of a damaged soul, harmful to everything & everyone I care about. Time to wake up & kick him & his malign orange idiot out of my daily consciousness.
Lecturing tonight for the @TheArtsSociety_ Wilmslow on the passions, personalities (with deep wallets) & patronage over 16+ generations that have formed the Devonshire Collections at @ChatsworthHouse where Rembrandt is in dialogue with Sargent & Freud, Canova with Frink & de Waal
Heading to the @TheArtsSociety_ Lincoln tonight to lecture for them on the life & times of Debo, Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire & (in her own words) 'house-wife' & about the impact she had on @ChatsworthHouse & its visitor businesses with her husband Andrew over more than 50 yrs.
No-one could tell this story better than @FredDeakin

Not news = those hugely benefitting from a tax exemption, despite never being the intended beneficiaries, are opposed to reform of that tax exemption
A lovely introduction to the genesis of her Firestacks, by the artist @BrookJules - The Land and Tidal Art of Julie Brook - terrain.org/2024/arterrain… via @terrainorg
A good overview of the fiction-filled world of the obliquely-funded anti-woke crowd seeking to undermine the @nationaltrust as a place of welcome to all. Central to their ‘thinking’ is the bizarre belief that saying nothing about our heritage is neutral/apolitical. Far from it.
How the National Trust fought back against the culture warriors theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…
Precisely.
Why are we hearing so much about the 4% of people who are landlords, and 7% who go to private school, rather than the more than 9 in 10 of us who do not? How coverage of the Budget has been heavily slanted towards the interests of a wealthy minority adambienkov.co.uk/p/you-want-to-…
If it wasn’t all unfolding in English, do you think it would feel as mystifying & horrific? It’s like witnessing an obscure ‘primitive’ cult from a land & a time far, far away, only there are 70m of them, it’s a country I know & love & it seems as though I understand every word.
One of the people involved in this tweet below is proving to be one of the supreme communicators of our time, articulating what millions believe & care about, always alert, witty & relevant, and they & their organisation are worthy of our support. The other is Nigel Farage.
Members, you have until 11.59pm tomorrow. I don’t know about you but Restore Trust hasn’t knocked anything into me yet, and I’m feeling pretty great. Vote here shorturl.at/PnrfP
The pleasure I feel seeing the rich beauty of this at @KedlestonNT is only enhanced by knowing it will infuriate all the right people, those rent-a-gob anti-wokers, the ‘keep our history English & triumphant (& white)’ historical illiterates & the dark-money culture warriors. Ha!
Brilliant to see #Diwali being celebrated @KedlestonNT Hall, beautifully done thanks to the fantastic Simran Sandhu, Senior Programming & Partnerships Officer @nationaltrust. On till *10 November* @CeliaRichards0n
This is going to be a very special cookery book crowdfunder.co.uk/p/sacred-earth…
The only possible responses to the rancid punching down that seems to animate the wretched @KemiBadenoch so powerfully. Long may she be rich enough to mitigate & support any ‘differences’ that may arise in her children/loved ones, without recourse to the State she so despises.
Good @guardianletters on Kemi Badenoch & autism theguardian.com/society/2024/o…
Rightfully contemptuous & well-informed reflection from @johnharris1969 (who, like us, has skin in the game) on the wretched need for conservatives like Badenoch to seek out the most vulnerable in society & stomp all over them, with lies, distortion & ugly indifference. Repulsive
Right then. I think we've reached a watershed point in the waging of culture wars, and Conservatives ought to see it, and act on it. I wrote this today: What kind of person would drag autistic children into the culture wars? The Kemi Badenoch kind theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Tory leadership hopeful paints a picture of special treatment. As the father of an autistic child, I can tell you that’s a lie, says Guardian columnist John Harris
Lovely. I’m grateful to any man in public life willing to speak of the heart. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mod…
Though they aren’t named, this is a pretty good explanation of the Trump/Johnson phenomenon in our politics.
Beautifully put. Some people cause constant chaos around themselves to avoid getting caught. x.com/aDatingDad/sta…
