oddly enough they began exploring this material as a way of explaining why, unlike other nations, england (real or otherwise) had never had a revolution: the exceptionalism is apparently all too transferrable
of course i think it has had THREE revolutions but you and i differ on this :)
― mark s, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 16:10 (eight years ago)
maybe one extended revolution which was ultimately not dissimilar to France's in terms of where the power went
my difficulty with any version of the phrase "healthy patriotism" makes it very hard to agree with much that Barnett says in that essay

The men were arrested on 26 August 2016 after a bag of weapons, including a pipe bomb, an air pistol and a meat cleaver with the word kafir (unbeliever) scratched on it, were found under the driver’s seat of Ali’s car. In Aziz’s car they found a samurai sword bought from a sex shop in Stoke for £20.

I once lived in an upstairs flat above a known sex-offender. The local hoodlums used to kick their football against his door and someone daubed "sex-case" on it. I'm sure glad they knew the side door belongs to the upstairs flat!

Rightmove have now removed the photo from the original listing, as if it hadn't occurred to anyone first time round that it might be a little offputting to prospective buyers.

The court heard he has no connection to the Church of England and regularly travels to Moldova.
There is little on earth more suspicious than a 63-year-old fake priest who regularly travels to Moldova.
