Romania is in mitteluropa because it had a German king. Really, everywhere in Europe apart from Sweden, Serbia, Iberia and France is mitteluropa

Thinking further on this. My actual ethnic identity, White English, is never really on forms. Why? Because the state doesn’t care about it for the purposes of ordering the world. Doesn’t make me less English (or indeed white)
Census categories exist for the state to see and understand the people, they don’t have any objective basis. Witness how eg in hackney you can be Turkish in the eyes of the council but to the uk govt you’re either Middle Eastern or white other, depending on your own choice

There’s a simple solution to Fisher Derangement Syndrome - if it isn’t Flatline Constructs or about British music, don’t read it. Pretend it doesn’t exist. If you’re going to read capitalist realism accept it is memoir
In all seriousness, the best, most important, and really only ‘indie rock’ album that matters is Unknown Pleasures

Nothing “impressive” about the “connectedness of the medieval world” to me. They should have been much more connected and they were stupid for not being so
Was Venice's iconic Winged Lion statue made in China?
Isotope analysis indicates this symbol of Venetian statehood was made from a modified Tang Dynasty tomb guardian, a reminder of the impressive connectedness of the medieval world.

ALT Illustration of a lion with wings in profile, coloured with six different colours on different sections. The colours represent phases of casting, and phases 1 and 2 (the majority of the main body) are ascribed to the original Tang sculpture.

Dream last night - spying on the Granita meeting but it was a greasy spoon - Blair ordered hotdog with mustard (on Cherie’s orders), Brown ordered beef burger with cheese, wimpy style sausage and ketchup & mayonnaise mixed together. Repeated mixing sauces made it a DIRTY BURGER.

Blair BTL reforms literally and primarily about making him and Jack Straw personally fuck-off rich

Unrelated, but reminded of the classic ‘Blair didn’t know who Mosaddegh was and was shocked to find out’

Blair comes out against Men’s Mental Health on the same day that Starmer wants to sell all U.K. pothole data(?) to Marc Andreessen and Reeves is imagining the rope like David in David: Story Of David… what a great day for a Labour right haters

It’s just factual that ‘British values’ were invented by the Blair government in 1998! Literally in living memory. Doesn’t mean they’re bad or even not worth aspiring to necessarily. But they exist less meaningfully than Wetherspoons
Matt Goodwin isn’t very British. He doesn’t get our values, our culture, or our history.
Britain has always been about different communities coming together to form one nation.

Rather than insult Cherie Blair we should instead Cherish Blair… he won’t be around forever

Tony Blair should do a kind of ‘Ey Jamesy! Rock it, man!’ Surprise video appearance next time Andy Burnham’s on tv
