Okay. This is angering me.
First of all, “MAN”!?

Just showed the kids Rogue One and I’d forgotten how traumatic it is to see a beautiful imperial archive get absolutely rinsed. A tragedy up there with the destruction of the libraries of Alexandria and Baghdad.

I’m delighted to see that Richard Taylor has won his defamation case against the producers of this film. It was awful to see archaeological colleagues misrepresented, cast as villains to fit a lazy narrative. But remarkably, the producers “remain proud of the film”!

I still can’t believe the UK did this to itself. Most importantly - to its youth and their opportunities, chances and aspirations.
I understand. We understand.
We understand the importance that Europe had in your lives and the sense of biting loss for many of you.
We understand what Brexit has done.
