The UK government is making upwards of £4.9bn in profit from visa fees, citizenship fees & the immigration health surcharge. Meanwhile, people are getting into thousands of pounds of debt or going without food just to afford to these immigration fees. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

I'm enjoying this portrayal of historians from the Ruhleben internment camp – where British civilians were held as prisoners during the first world war. 1/4

Four people in historical dress with big brains sit around a table reading and writing. A stack of books under the table includes such titles as "Highbrow Volume 1"

Man, I had been warned that there are a lot of rules and bureaucracy in Japan, but still gets me annoyed that you can't take pictures of any book in the university library – but you can fill in a lengthy form so that someone else can make a paper photocopy for you. Won't even send the digital scan!

Felix Liebermann owned quite a lot of very old books, including first editions of all previous editions of the early English laws. Lucky him! Here are his copies of Lambarde (1568), Whelock (1644) and Wilkins (1721)! 1/3

The title page of William Lambarde's Archaionomia from 1569

The title page of Abraham Whelock'ss Archaionomia from 1644

You can almost hear the crotchety voice of this retired WWI general in his volunteer form to help with evacuating London in 1939. "Previous experience: ??? - see books of reference Available now for voluntary social work if required? I don't know what social work means"

Form for the government evacuations scheme filled out by Sir Hubert Gough

Turns out there's more to Felix Liebermann than just obsessiveness about manuscripts and a fondness for difficult German. ingridfiv.github.io/ingridsblog/...

My whole career and life in the UK started with an Erasmus year in St Andrews. Safe to say it changed my life. Hurray for the British students who'll get this opportunity again! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
