Robert Tombs is an emeritus professor in history at the University of Cambridge Are you alleging that Kemi Badenoch is in fact, Robert Tombs in disguise? No, but it was his article, and that he is eminently qualified to have a view on Kemi's speech. Not too tricky, that.

Yer man, Dalrymple .... "William Benedict Hamilton-Dalrymple is an India-based Scottish historian and art historian, as well as a curator, photographer, broadcaster and critic.[1] He is also one of the co-founders and co-directors of the world's largest writers' festival, the annual Jaipur Literature Festival.[2][3][4] He is currently a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford." Only visiting, eh? And? Your the one who gets throbbing gristle at the very thought of someone having once taught one subject at Oxbridge, that somehow that means they can't ever be questioned on anything ever.

It's not that he can't be questioned it's just that he's 100% right here. As is the Kemster.

What the f**k did I just read? www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13326637/child-killer-death-sentence-williams-Kamarie-holland-siple.html?dicbo=v2-e1Pd8pJ&ico=outbrain_footer“Convicted child killer who murdered five-year-old Georgia girl after paying victim's mom $2,500 to have sex with her appears emotionless in court as he is sentenced to death” “Jeremy Williams, 39, was handed four death sentences for the abduction, rape and murder of five-year-old Kamarie Harris in Columbus, Georgia He paid the child's mother to rape and sodomize her little girl in December 2021 Witnesses lined up to condemn the 'soulless' serial child abuser in court A 'soulless' killer who paid a mother $2,500 to rape and sodomize her five-year-old daughter before murdering her in an abandoned house portrayed no reaction as he was handed four death sentences. Jeremy Williams, 39, abducted little Kamarie Holland from her home in Columbus, Georgia, before raping and strangling her to death. Mother Kristen Siple told police she found Kamarie missing and her front door open when she awoke at 5.50am on December 13, 2021. But she pleaded guilty last month to one count of human sex trafficking and faces up to 20 years in prison after allowing Williams one hour to rape her own daughter. 'If there's ever been somebody that's deserving of the death penalty its Jeremy Williams,' Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor told reporters. 'He's another type of evil that we in society just don't need walking around.'“ Once again - what the f**k did I just read? I would be equally ok with the “mother” getting the death penalty too in all honesty. Although I guess once her crime is communicated in jail she will probably wish she was dead.

Your boy is a lightweight amateur. It's moot anyway, as Tombsie has every much as much right to agree or disagree with Kemi. His credentials are impeccable, yours decidedly peccable.

I'd like to see his/your workings on how Britain didn't make any profit from the slave trade and how it was the Glorious Revolution, and the specific changes that happened as a result, that triggered the UK becoming a financial center. Both seem decidedly dubious on the basis of my very peccable history knowledge.

Also, I don't really know if Dalrymple's very good at history, but he's a brilliant and engaging writer.

I have to say I prefer the film. The books are a bit long.

Thanks Mids. And to you. What better present for the whole Union than that bestowed on us by Albion's most illustrious son? www.bbc.co.uk/newsThe BBC actually sounds like they've had a death in the family.

Bloody hell. The BBC have totally lost their shite over this. The spiteful tantrum they threw on the Today programme this morning was something to behold.
Recommended listening.
I wish HMG would stop saying that the objective is to stop the boat crossings because they are dangerous and exploitative. Those are factors, but it doesn't really matter how illegal immigrants/asylum seekers get into the country, we want them out. Gone.
The public don't need the pill to be sugar coated. These people aren't needed and aren't wanted. We can't look after the people we've got and we need to send a clear message that UK isn't some sort of free benefits buffet.
