"Woke Right" is just the eventual endpoint of a process started when they labelled working-from-home as "woke". It just means "thing we don't like".

An interesting reflection on the changing meaning of our Remembrance rituals. Even in the last three decades, during which I've led Remembrance services, there's no doubt the meaning (and meaningfulness) of it all has changed

The challenge of commemorating WW1 without any living veterans
What do displays of national pride mean when they are no longer accompanied by the mass shared grief that gave rise to them?

Will be fascinating to see Nigel parroting Trump's latest comments on immigration, following the usual pattern that Reform simply repeat last week's ideas from America.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Why is the Royal Court advertising Tilda Swinton in a theatre run that won't start still next September? Is she now bigger than Taylor Swift and Star Wars? Steady on.

As a patriotic Brit, I've decided my retaliation against American attacks on the BBC is to start hating on Pluribus immediately without bothering with the phase of liking the earliest episodes.

All these people who sneer at the Royal Family for being "obsolete", yet they never question why Radio Times and TV Times still exist as separate publications, interesting.

The wikipedia page about Black Dwarf stars is highly speculative, and perhaps the "artists impression" might be the most reliable bit.

Only 23% of Python was any good. And Tom Baker was pissed most of his later seasons.
As with the NHS, I think part of the problem is how the institution has been so thoroughly sentimentalised in both the public imagination and its own imagination, to the extent that even a minor infraction is greeted like the Werthers’ grandad going on a five-day ket rampage.
The BBC will fuck things up from time to time. Lots of major news organisations do; just look at The Times having to memoryhole several fake news stories in a matter of weeks.
No one is calling for the abolition of The Times, however.
