"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" Eighty two years ago today Sophie Scholl was executed, aged 21, for her part in the non-violent, anti-Nazi group the White Rose.

This is my life. This is what I’ve just endured four or five times in the last half hour coming back home from Totnes.

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

"Conservatives are the guardians of Western Civilisation. WE MUST DEFEND IT."

As a general comment on pretty much everything right now, here’s Oswald Mosley getting bricked in Manchester as he made a provocative, controversial gesture that was unambiguously a fascist salute because he was a fucking fascist. #fuckfascism

One of THE great voices

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs
