I love books, reading, eating, cooking, and my French bulldog Bunty. I write history and I teach English at Oxford University.
It’s not a crystal ball. It’s much more complicated and potentially addictive and morally dangerous than that.

Tolkien would absolutely hate this, just as he detested the Nazis.

Wah wah. My career is not going as well as I thought it would. The patriarchy is not my best friend after all. It must be the fault of younger women.

Also because in the case of the BBC, they still feel as if it should belong to them and should be one of their assets.

Many of them do. Others are in it for the money and the fame and the freebies.

While it’s not a conspiracy, there has been a lot of hissing from the sidelines that could be described as coordinated. Don’t underestimate how much they hate the BBC for not belonging to them.

Those people have been gunning for the BBC for years. in almost daily articles in the times, the Telegraph, the daily mail, they have been trying to sow discontent. I am not saying the BBC is perfect – far from it – but I am saying that the right hates it with a particular intensity.

Nowadays, it’s a euphemism for the superrich.
