Socially... Charles V kept his word letting the heretic Reformation armies return to their city states, rather than slaughter them which, as the Holy Roman Emperor, he was duty bound to do.

Charles V had gone to face the Turks.
No (Roman) Catholic army came to his aid
- only those of the heretics.

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.

What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

I suspect Ms Reynold's social bubble is a... 'confined' one - 'confined' with well-moneyed, even-better-lawyered folk (& more than a few lawyers themselves) *and* as a Brigadier(!) in the Army Reserve, she no doubt rubbed epaulettes with the likes of Major General Kathryn 'Robodebt' Campbell. 🫤

When Minns first 'blipped' on my radar, I thought there'd been a misprint in the article I was reading. It'd said Minns was in Labor - but surely this feckless, uncharitable caricature was a creature of the Liberals, Liberals of a very Morrison vein

... but we are talking NSW Labor though.

mm. 😐

As Science is used more & more to inform History, esp. in anthropologic periods, such changes of understanding invariably change understandings of then contemporary social mores & behaviours.

& the best thing about History, is that you could never sell it as fiction because no-one would believe you
