At the University of Oslo today to take part in an international symposium on “The Private Side of Politics in British History”. These are surely lots of fascinating things to discuss. Looking forward!

Fantastisk at så mange mennesker har lyst til at diskutere britisk historie, politik og samfund og møder op på kolde og regnfulde aftener 🇬🇧
I den forgangne har jeg været i Odense og Aalborg via Folkeuniversitetet for at belyse både imperialismens arv og demokratiets tilstand. Stor fornøjelse 👏
