When Farage and his ilk try to tell you that Britain has changed beyond all recognition, read this article.

This is the England I know.

This is Britain.

From the Council of Elrond, happening on October 25, ages ago….yet still somehow resonant.
Screenshot from the Lord of the Rings. The relevant passage is: “Despair, or folly?’ said Gandalf. ‘It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.” Excerpt From The Lord of the Rings: One Volume J.R.R. Tolkien This material may be protected by copyright.

I can’t stand the flag stuff. But I really love this country. For all our sins, and we should talk about all of them, England and Britain have a culture, a compassion and a humour I’m really proud to be part of. This article touches on a lot of it but you could go way further.

If you get the opportunity, check out Pixies live next summer.

I saw them way back in 1990 and they were awesome. Plus The Eden Project is a wonderful venue for live music.

I really can’t recommend @robertshearman.bsky.social’s novelisation of The Chimes Of Midnight highly enough.

This takes an already excellent story and expands it in a way that only prose can.

Sublime! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
