The problem with such a definitive remark is that admirable qualities in a person and the same person having serious flaws aren’t mutually exclusive but commonly inclusive in people.

Even if none of those connections existed, Farage has been a part of the financial Establishment for a long time. Nothing to do with ordinary people.

D.H.Lawrence, both his poetry & paintings. If you’re ever in Austin, Texas, the Harry Ransom Centre has them in cold storage & they’re huge, exuberant. Another escapee, like Hockney, from stiff and stuffy England.

Larkin’s joy of the butterfly collector. Hockney’s joy of the butterfly.

No! Don’t bring Larkin anywhere near to Hockney the free soul!

Yes, to some extent. But the system‘s history and structure is morally and financially (global economics) corrupt so that I wouldn’t call it a democracy. Consider the predominant reaction of European states to the genocide in Gaza. Unethical and complicit.

The same can be said of much of the British and European political system. No matter who plays the game, the game is fundamentally corrupt.

Your piece would make an excellent comedy sketch. Or is that not necessary as we already have it on the daily News.

He was open-minded, listened, had an open door and helped me when I arrived in Oxford. As well as being a superb scholar.

I say: Give it up. You have enough words In your life. Try something else - which offers your mind and soul another way of thinking and being.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Strikes on Iran ease pressure on Israel to end starvation in Gaza
Critics of war will be more reluctant to press for its end while missiles from Tehran are killing people in Tel Aviv

I think the percentage off is excellent as many readers simply want a specific book rather than three or more from a Press.

David Hockney has a massive exhibition in Paris. Everything about his art and him makes me feel elated. Painting in his late eighties, smoking without apology, and free in his sexuality from the start.

Of course, one can go back six hundred years to mark such changes.

History has to be charted not in broad sweeps (five years is a very long time in politics) but with specific yearly changes and cogent developments. America is the perfect crucible to study this. So I disagree that it is only an “intensification”.

Post the Gaza war and the spread of global hyper-Nationalisms and the interventions and collaborations of governments with institutions makes the change over the past few years much more than the visibility of it.

It’s a far far wider persecution now than it was even a year ago.

Oh no, life imitating art & all that. Please let me know if I can do anything tedious, mundane to help. I was singing and slipped down three steps a few weeks ago and it hurt.

The 1% exception doesn’t help its case. I don’t approve of this lending library functioning as an elite club for those who can afford to pay to be a member.

The editor @cbeditions.bsky.social has updated my book page to include recent review quotes from essays in journals and books. The best place to acquire my book (& peep into the opening pages) is from the publisher's website: cbeditions.com/bukhari.html

Middle East specialist Abdullah al-Arian says US President Trump’s comments asking Egypt and Jordan to accept 1.5 million Palestinians from Gaza is a credible threat and not just an off-the-cuff remark. 🔴 Read analysis: aje.io/8uyutv
