Anyone who argues that the ideas of Brexit has right-wing roots would benefit from a study of the 1970’s Labour Party. Also, look at the smoking! x.com/heartlandstr...

Today would be the day after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, where Anglo-Saxon England was mortally wounded and the Age of the Vikings ended.

At Stamford Bridge, Harald Hardrada had a banner, Landøyðan, ‘The Land-Reaver’ which he took to Stamford Bridge, leading an army of tattooed & ornamented warriors their gold & personal weapons winking in the sunlight.

The House of Lords did their job, I’m not convinced she did hers in shifting goalposts & ignoring the concerns of organisations representing the people who were likely to have been targeted. The moral certainty of a sixth-form debater & a similar level of emotional resilience.

I’m sure there are many who will be disappointed about the result if the Assisted Dying Bill 2 in Parliament, but I have to say I am profoundly relieved it has been defeated.

Possibly one of the most disingenuous articles written by a politician. ‘I was elected to Westminster two years ago, when the country was crying out for change and looking to parliament to tackle the big issues that had been forgotten for too long’. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The will of the elected chamber – and a popular, compassionate piece of legislation – must not be frustrated again by a small minority of peers, says Labour MP for Rochester and Strood Lauren Edwards

‪But like Odysseus, I’ve met Teresias & took his advice about going inland until people didn’t recognise what an oar was & thought it was a spade. But in my case inland was an airport & they thought it was a propellor & that, dear reader is how I started my career in aviation. ‬

The only negative was not being asked to crew the Draken Harald Hårfagre having *ahem* ‘some experience’ rowing boats. 😉

But the big plus was most of the audience was male and female and under 25. ‬ ‪If Nolan can awaken interest in the Odyssey in a new generation then he has done well. ‬

But the standout character for me was Samantha Morton’s emotionally wounded and isolated Circe who was convincing as a woman who has retreated from the world and needs to control her environment.

I know there’s been some argle-bargle about individual actors, but Elliot Page bought real pathos to Sinon’s shade in Hades.

Anachronisms always jar & I’m not always a fan of colour-blind casting, but as a text that has been adapted, interpreted & translated so often, I think Nolan’s approach was fresh & interesting with enough echoes to the original that you can squeak with pleasure (swallows call).

Just back from seeing #Odyssey and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. I’m not a classicist so have no skin in this game, but as a film of the Odyssey, rather than a documentary account it worked for me.
