It's rather jarring to hear Radio4 #starttheweek having an earnest and detailed discussion about the British safe space that is WW2, while #r4today (apparently, a news programme) seems to think Reform's deportations and concentration camps policy being announced TODAY is no biggie.
"When society, its financial systems & human beings fall short, how can we repair the damage?"
"Exploring the social, moral & political contradictions of the world we face today."
Another good example of why we need our public service broadcasting.

Interesting point on #StartTheWeek about people refusing to call what's happening right now "fascism": if you give it that name, then you have to act.
"foot-and-a-half floppies"?

But really @tomsutcliffe.bsky.social should have challenged him about #HateSpeech.
How many people does he think are actually in prison for #HateSpeech or #HurtyWords?
And what does he think that they said?

How many people are in prison in the UK for โhate speech โ?
The only case I know about is #LucyConnolly who was undoubtedly guilty of inciting violence.

Nevermind the experts; haven't we had enough of Michael Gove? #StarttheWeek #Radio4

Enjoyed listening to #StartTheWeek today, especially as it had a section on the recently published book of #IrisMurdoch poems๐คฉ

"You can't separate economic, social and religious grievances."
The Peasants' War and other stories. Communities and a sense of belonging.

The intriguing #MountainsOfKong got a passing mention on this morning's #StartTheWeek on #BBCRadio4. Looking them up on @wikipedia.org, I was surprised to discover that an early proponent of this wholly fictional range was none other than the ๐ oceanographer, #JamesRennell.

Congrats to Prof Paul Cartledge for his superb refusal to be drawn into a discussion of the so-called Thucydides Trap on Start the Week on the grounds that the modern usage is, he believes, unsound. Top donning! #starttheweek

Did you miss me - in the excellent company of poet Andrew McMillan and writer Saima Mir - on #StartTheWeek this morning? It's repeated at 9pm tonight and available on BBC Sounds. I loved speaking some of Caedmon's Hymn aloud in the original #OldEnglish! โค๏ธ

Had a great time recording BBC Radio 4 Start The Week from the Contains Strong Language Festival in Bradford this morning. Broadcasts on Monday. Amazing to be part of this panel with Saima Mir, Andrew McMillan, and host Tom Sutcliffe. Brilliant audience too. #radio #festival #StartTheWeek

In lieu of an actual #StartTheWeek, caught up with this discussion of #AI #democracy & #TheState which now (18 months on) seems more than prescient. @tds153.bsky.social @naomialderman.bsky.social #DavidRunciman #MikeWooldridge

Hopefully, one day, in a #renovations finished future- this will be the view from my office window - from where I could literally count ๐ My #StartTheWeek frame of mind
Cricket: "Is hope like a hop or like flying?"
Dove: "Both. A hop starts the journeyโflight keeps it alive."

War & peace a work of genius?.. certainly long & a very curates egg of a novel. #starttheweek
A domestic back garden, concrete tiles in foreground, lawn beyond. Centre foreground a vixen looks up at the camera while walking left to right with her fox cubs. One cub follows behind. To the right, another cub drinks from a bird bath while a third looks at the lawn. Right at the back near a rear hedge, cub number 4 hides in the grass.
Just a vixen and cubs strolling past the kitchen window, nothing to see here.
