I stand by this, but even I wasn't expecting the Spectator to publish a hatchet job on Anthony Bourdain, written by a far-right influencer, which opens by *approvingly quoting the Unabomber*

Funny how all these awful shits banging on about "core British values" always mean racism. They never mean the post-war consensus of a welfare state, NHS, social housing that dominated and transformed the lives of most people currently alive in the UK.

This is silly and probably unfair to the people of Hebden Bridge, but the first thing I always associate with the name of that town is this absolute classic, photographed at a mini-library in a nearby village (photo not my own):

Some books, accompanied by a note in the window:

NOTICE

WHOEVER IS PLACING THE COPYS OF PORNOGRAPHIC LITERATURE IN HERE, STOP! CORNHOLME IS A GOOD GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN VILLAGE. IF THIS FILTH IS TO YOUR LIKING MAY WE SUGGEST THAT YOU MOVE TO THECESS [sic] PIT THAT IS

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

The voluntary and community sector doesn’t need or want migrants to do forced labour for us in a form of state exploitation. We do need the govt. to stop targeting the groups we serve and fund us to do the jobs the state relies on us for. And to like end poverty and the economic crisis.
