Britain is a country perpetually furious at what it's *actually* good and throwing its toys out the pram because it's not the big muscly men hitting things with hammers country. Cultural exports, universities, Warhammer and weed, that's all we should be focusing our economy on.

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.
Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

Just popped into Portsmouth Pride, which is confined to the Guildhall what with the original being rained off in the summer. Very relaxing, and big considering how little time they had to make it happen.

Are there any French naval historians that can give a recommendation or two on work on the 1968 sinking of the submarine Minerve? Preferably in English as I don't speak enough French.

Let me make this easy. No nation-state, including my own natal land, has the right to exist based on religious or racial requirements for belonging, by dispossessing or excluding others, or having different classes of citizenship.

Given how New Level have already shown out, a PPV match between Jon Moxley & Tyler Black with the brakes off would almost justify the contract price on its own.

"Just separate the artist from the sou-" No, stop right there. Rowling has proved time and time again that she wants to use all her funding from said series to hurt Trans people's lives everywhere. There is no separation. There are no redeeming qualities. There is no excuse. Grow up

Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.
