Historical film
Every war, every side in every war, has its rights and wrongs. No side has a monopoly on good or evil, either. That is why historical revisionism is so important, and why laws purporting to criminalize historical examination and debate are so wrongheaded.

“The simulacrum of the human” [anon.]
[“The law is black and white, but it’s also subjective which is influenced by current social norms and the political climate.
This is why the Overton window being pushed is so important so speech “offences” get harder and harder to be policed.
People have not been able to talk this freely online – or publicly hold the views that they have – for quite some time. It wasn’t even that long ago you could get banned from social media platforms – or have a knock on the door – for simply stating men can’t become women.
We are obviously nowhere near out of the woods yet with all of this but Elon Musk buying X has most certainly bought us some time with fixing everything going on here in England, Europe, and the Anglosphere.
In my spare time, I have spoken to quite a few people who have been persecuted by the State for speech offences who probably wouldn’t even get a knock on the door these days for the most part.
Hearing these stories has been tough and what they have gone through for “thoughtcrimes” is abhorrent.
Independent thought isn’t a crime, and these silencing tactics is Bolshevism 101.
Our government has a lot to answer for for what it’s done to their citizens for all these years. This is straight up treason.“]
A law student from Plymouth, I think.
Strange co-incidence. I just happened today upon an old email (from well over 20 years ago), sent to me by a girl law student from Plymouth, and thanking me for talking with her and answering questions she had had. She wrote that her talk with me had decided her to continue with her degree course and to go into the practice of law.
I had forgotten about meeting that girl (at an evening reception put on by a university law faculty at a yacht club in Plymouth, and to which a number of barristers, solicitors, and judges had been invited).
I just looked up the individual’s name, to see whether she was mentioned as either solicitor or barrister (I should add that her name is rather unusual). Turns out that, after starting out at the Bar, she had switched to the solicitors’ branch, and is now a partner in a fairly large UK/international law firm, specializing in corporate/commercial work.
Life’s long and winding road is straighter for some than for others.
I have been saying exactly that for months, even years. Farage and Tice cannot see it, because they themselves are really conservatives of a kind, and see nothing wrong with making common cause with unpleasant idiots such as Nadine Dorries and Robert Jenrick.
Britain needs social nationalism, but there is no credible party; in fact, there is no party at all.
Unwise, to say the least, though it does cut the ground from under Kemi Badenoch.
Still fairly open, but with Labour not looking like winners, at this stage.
“Legendary” is close to “mythical”…
Many years ago, when Burnham was standing for Labour leadership, I described him as “the best of a very poor bunch” (of 4 candidates). Yes, better than the others, but still a System puppet.
