Historian of Empire, War, and Crime. Passing interest in public policy and politics. A few books! May possibly like Sci-Fi.

In late 2023, the Society spent a day with Hertfordshire’s historians. We saw the quality, creativity and distinctiveness of teaching, research and engagement. We were told by a (now departed) senior manager that History was ‘a portfolio the university will guard very carefully’. bit.ly/4hLediN

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

The immigrant union troops who defended their adopted country from slaver traitors are in fact, proof of concept of American higher ideals having nothing to do with “blood” or “heritage” or whatever cowardly euphemism is in vogue among these pathetic losers

The UK press has been great on this. Here is another article in which we learn inter alia that Kushner’s staff “had no idea that it was going to generate this kind of reaction — there was genuine shock” Just the sort of knowledgeable people you want running football www.thetimes.com/article/abf1...

Gianni Infantino clinging to power as efforts to oust him intensify

Support is flooding away from the Fifa president, who will likely be asked to resign at emergency council meeting and is scrambling to establish base of backers

This is what colonialism looks like. It’s how the British behaved in their colonies (still do: Northern Ireland and Kenya to this day see British military personnel protected whatever they do), but now the new imperial hierarchy is becoming visible to British people.

Another appalling USAF case. It seems as if the Suffolk and the Cambridgeshire police forces ultimately answer to the Pentagon.
