This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

The article is just as justifiably venomous as the headline and worth a read. Fuck this guy. I hope the next time I'm forced to look at his name there are a pair of dates beneath it.

A friend's dad would always vote for whoever was in opposition. His theory was, they're all useless, corrupt arseholes & the least-bad outcome is if they don't stay in power long enough to get comfortable.

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48" x 48" Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. 1/3 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/wa...

An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

I'm an older collector & live with an even older & more prolific collector in other genres, and our apartment is getting smaller & smaller as all the nooks & crannies fill with stuff. I pity his kids when they have to clear this place out when we're gone.

Of course they’re going to walk away. Tax extractive industries appropriately/heavily while they’re operational. Anything else is folly. Approving any more carbon polluting projects doubly so.

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.
