Listen to this speech from the president of Ireland. The days of using baseless accusations of antisemitism as a rhetorical weapon to bully people into staying silent are long gone.

It demonstrates just how far this country has sunk into the gutter when the mob’s first concern isn’t the dead, dying or injured in Liverpool - but the ethnicity of the criminal so they can weaponise it to push a racist agenda. It is so fucking shameful. The absolute antithesis of patriotism.

Ok, you find it funny or interesting why some centuries are "long" and others are "short" and why do historians use terms like "the Middle Ages" or "the Renaissance" but get cross about it all the time? And keep forbidding things like "the Dark Ages"? Isn't it weird? Well, no. 1/

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled. If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

Re-upping Tom's suggestion here: this would be a brilliant theme for a conference, touching so many areas of current research. I'd love to look at any north/south split within Britain - or indeed an east/west division, following Great Army-influenced material culture.

This, from BM about new book on PAS finds, really p1sses me off- #archaeology isn't about 'spectacular' finds. Also, the sector (from field to research to museums) is struggling to keep up with the deluge of finds, none of which come with money or much support - and yet this fact is always ignored.

Great chart from Rob Ford on the educational divide between Reform and the Lib Dems. The fewer the number of graduates in a ward, the better Reform. The more grads there were the more Lib Dem it was.

It's really interesting hearing the experiences of people stuck in Spain and Portugal. The modern world broke, and those who had no experience of a preinternet age seem to be the least able to comprehend that when that happens, you need some self-reliance. I'm not saying it was better then
