In Northern Ireland, “British Nationalism is vocal, unapologetic, militant, and right-wing. It does not appease, nor does it keep quiet about the problems it faces.” This goes against everything Paddington stands for. My latest for @spectator. Link below:
We might feel like this Labour government are wasting incredible amounts of money on useless & harmful projects (they are) But let’s not forget that the previous government spent £37 billion developing a COVID tracking app that simply did not work at all They’re all incompetent
Two pints for less than £5 Sometimes I love where I live
I shall be in London for work for the entire week commencing August 4th. If we’re mutuals on here and you are partial to a pint or know of a good restaurant, I would like to request the pleasure of your company. Do get in touch!
I have acquired a large decorative handmade earthenware guinea fowl
The reason people still care about the Titanic after a hundred years, and why the Titanic museum in Belfast gets almost a million visitors each year, is because it was the complete antithesis of this kind of ship, and its sinking was emblematic of our civilisational decline
Whoa! 5 times bigger than the Titanic! Would you like to take a cruise on this Monster?
The Belfast Pride parade this weekend featured an individual dressed as Jesus, complete with a mock crown of thorns, dancing down the street and giving high-fives to supporters. I am so incredibly tired of this nonsense, and so sick of how normal attacks on Christianity are.
People in the UK will call this kind of design cringe and criticise China for just putting LEDs everywhere, meanwhile riding the London Underground feels like you could catch any number of diseases or be stabbed at any given time
🇨🇳 Xi'an just opened its 8th metro line! The design is crazy. As of this year, 54 cities in China now have subway systems and the brand new lines look quite sci-fi.
The great myth of abortion is that unborn babies at this age are nothing more than a “clump of cells”. In Britain, it would be completely legal to end a pregnancy at this date for no reason at all.
Baby born 19 weeks early has set a world record: wtoc.com/2025/07/23/bab…
Ozzy Osbourne was arguably, until his death, the most influential living British musician, and one of the artists whose music I have listened to most consistently throughout my life. Few individuals have had as large an impact on culture as he had. Truly a great loss.
Just posting some invitations, couldn’t help but be amazed by how stark the downgrade is between the portrait of the late Queen and the current portrait of the King. He’s not even wearing a crown.
Belfast Cathedral is such an incredibly cool looking building
Sarah and I at a lovely wedding yesterday Ours is next! Four months to go!
Resting my weary little head in a bedroom here tonight
