Ex-public schoolboys - maybe take a back seat on this.
Whatever your memories of ‘it’s the way things were’, Farage is doubling down & refuses to apologise. Is gaslighting with denials & caveats

A set of school fees, that could easily have been replaced with another boy at a less prestigious school.
The head personally liked Farage, he pretty much said so, but to risk the school's reputation over one child seems excessive.

The @royalhistsoc.org is running a charitable donation campaign to fund the research of historians who lack support. The number of applications we're seeing is way up. I've been very lucky to have a career as a historian, I've donated, and I think this Christmas you should too. Pay it forward.

And perhaps any Reform-supporting Jews in the UK might want to consider how flirting with the far-Right is working out for their American mishpuchas.
To MAGA white supremacists, Jews are only “allowed” to be in the club when it it’s politically useful. I know “I told you so” isn’t a particularly supportive thing to say, but it’s about all i can muster.

After describing Farage & allies marching thru a village late at night singing Hitler youth songs, “I never tried to hurt anybody”, I can only agree with this conclusion that he should be nowhere near an office of authority.

For decades, the “Guga hunt”, on Sula Sgeir has been defended as sustainable, harmless, and woven into cultural heritage. But the science emerging today tells a very different story.
