quote of the day celebs have no idea how little ordinary folk care about their luxury beliefs samizdata illuminatus arkham massachusetts slogans quotations i find it splendidly sensible that ordinary people are able to see through celebrity endorsements it was f scott fitzgerald who famously said the test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function regular people are able to admire even idolise a singer or an actor and then totally do the opposite politically to what that performer calls for julie burchill february 7th 2026 leave a comment the impact of starlink perry de havilland prague military affairs russia science technology ukraine preston stewart has some interesting reportage about russia being abruptly cut off from starlink whilst this is fascinating from a technical and military point of view it also brings into focus the sheer power of one man for good or ill elon musk february 6th 2026 16 comments the fact that a british person s ancestors were not british is not shameful and need not be concealed natalie solent essex culture wars historical views immigration media journalism mindless inequality blather science fiction fantasy uk affairs in times past people in these islands went to great lengths to conceal that their ancestors were lowborn or non prestigious foreign or worse yet unknown social climbers would frequently change their names to something more aristocratic and perhaps pay some impoverished scholar to fake them up a coat of arms and insert a fictional ancestor or two into the historical record then along came steam engines and trousers and we moved to saying that a man or woman should be judged on their own deeds never mind who their ancestors were i thought we all agreed this was a good change so why have we gone back to acting as if having upper class ancestors who lived here is an important component of a modern british person s status if that person happens to be black so important that it needs to be lied about bbc told to avoid clunky color blind casting preachy anti colonial storylines in drama series the bbc has been urged to rethink color blind casting tokenism and preachy storylines about the uk s colonial history in scripted series according to a major study commissioned by the broadcaster conducted by former bafta chair anne morrison and ex ofcom executive chris banatvala the thematic review of portrayal and representation across bbc output found that clunky depictions of race can cause more harm than good the 80 page report revealed audience complaints about doctor who casting nathaniel curtis as sir isaac newton in the 60th anniversary special wild blue yonder as well as the 2023 agatha christie series murder is easy which featured an allegory on colonialism the review noted that color blind casting was a matter of controversy for commentators and some viewers urging commissioners to consider their choices carefully the report said that good intentions to increase diversity can lead to inauthentic outcomes outcomes that can sometimes be damaging to the communities they are attempting to serve in depicting an anachronistic historical world in which people of colour are able to rise to the top of society as scientists artists courtiers and lords of the realm there may be the unintended consequence of erasing the past exclusion and oppression of ethnic minorities and breeding complacency about their former opportunities the review said what needs to be avoided is ethnic diversity which looks forced and tick box and we found our interviewees of colour as emphatic on this point as those who were white good however the writers of this review made an argument in defence of the black newton that shows they don t understand science fiction though doctor who was referenced the report raised an eyebrow about the specific concerns regarding curtis saying that a mixed race newton seems much less of a stretch in a universe in which the central character is a time travelling extra terrestrial who regenerates into different actors it doesn t work that way in a genre such as opera that makes no attempt at realism read a plot summary of the love of three oranges sometime or in much of shakespeare the extra degree of divergence from reality involved in having the passionate soliloquy in which a nominally european character pours out his heart in rhyming couplets be delivered by a black performer really is trivial but the whole point of science fiction is that the premise can be as wacky as you like but the consequences of that premise are worked through with rigour ok maybe not with rigour in the case of dr who but certainly with an attempt at naturalism i have no complaints about the acknowledged alternative universe of bridgerton the series is set during the early 19th century in an alternative london regency era in which george iii established racial equality and granted aristocratic titles to people of color due to the african heritage of his wife queen charlotte with all the dystopian alternate timelines out there it makes a nice change in a similar way the doctor meeting the black newton of a bridgertonesque timeline wouldn t have bothered anyone five seconds of script and the word quantum would have been enough to avoid the collective national wince when viewers realised they were having that line of false history pushed at them again sometimes the twitter and youtube algorithms send me grainy film clips of life in britain many decades ago street scenes with policemen directing traffic workers leaving factories and the like one notices several differences from the present working class women are wrapped in shawls every adult male however poor is wearing a hat and of course everyone in sight is white there is no logical reason why knowledge of this obvious historical truth the fact that the vast majority of british people were white as late at the 1960s should cause hostility to present day black british people but these days the comments to those historical clips quickly fill up with variations on the words notice anything i notice that human beings dislike being lied to as i said in a post called the great retcon this desperate retconning of the odd phoenician libyan or egyptian who turned up in british history as black and the whole trend to exaggerate the number of black people in british history has two effects both of which increase racism white people from the majority population resent seeing the history of their ancestors falsified and even erased as the mayor of london sadiq khan did when he said that this city was built by migrants for black people and indeed anyone of any colour whose ancestors did not come from these islands it cements the idea that a person cannot truly be welsh or british unless they can point to examples of people with enough genes in common with them having lived in those places centuries ago february 5th 2026 23 comments samizdata quote of the day iran and the media looks away perry de havilland prague media journalism middle east islamic slogans quotations so why was the uk us and european media so obsessed with this one shooting because it was done by an ice officer and ice has been painted as donald trump s personal law enforcement agency ignoring the fact that it was created by george w bush in 2002 i make no defence of donald trump i make no defence of the violent actions of ice in so many us cities but to pretend that this one incident was more important than the nascent revolution going on in iran is laughable and that s what too many media organisations were doing i can look myself in the eye because almost from the start of the protests i was covering them on my lbc show indeed we ve devoted hours and hours to them more i suspect that any of the 24 hours news channels up until the last couple of days if you wanted any real time coverage of what s happening in iran you had to go to live youtube channels like mahyar tousi s tousi tv which has been brilliant at informing people about what s really going on iain dale

perry de havilland prague slogans quotations totalitarianism uk affairs we are only here in the uk at the very beginning of the process of descent into tyranny but it is helpful to frame our thinking with this in mind that is our trajectory if we continue to imagine that state authority can be founded in political hedonism or the unity of desire and it is also helpful for us therefore to imagine how things can be different what is the proper grounds for the authority of the state and how are states indeed properly constituted the answer for those who know their political theory is the antithesis of tyranny the rule of law but it is the rule of law understood in a special way it does not mean the rule of lawyers which we are now highly familiar with it means something much more specific than that david mcgrogan january 29th 2026 31 comments the difference between reform tories isn t the quality of the people thomas fairfax yorkshire uk affairs in response to a question about where the problem in british politics lies i agreed with the questioner it s the system as currently configured that s the crux of the matter britain faces a series of systemic institutional structural problems not a problem of leadership or competence the civil service doesn t serve it has its own agendas and the quango ocracy is where the real power lies not with parliament and the elected government reform understands they have to smash the blob rather than try to work with it and even if for the sake of argument nanny statist kemi badenoch also understand that just as liz truss now does badenoch s party is riddled with people who either don t understand that or do understand but are actually on the side of the rotten institutions that means the tories are a key part of the problem not the solution reform on the other hand have much less baggage in that respect their inexperience is a plus because much of the rapidly forming reform apparatus are outsiders with no attachment to the status quo or are former tories who got their illusions beaten out of them when they tried to be you know conservatives when in power only to get crushed by the blob that s why i support reform it s not the quality of the people that attracts me it s the fact reform as an institution isn t just a wing of the uniparty filled with people saturated with establishment assumptions

was in a party that she no longer trusted had no faith in and could not defend i looked around and realised i was politically isolated and alone the problem as she sees it is not circumstantial but structural and insoluble most of the people involved in the great betrayals are the same people running the party today the central betrayal the one she returns to again and again is immigration the truth she warns is that half of conservative mps are dead against leaving the echr i know it i sit in the tea rooms i hear what they say under their breath why then does she believe that reform can succeed where the tories repeatedly failed braverman says that when she tried to persuade the party that britain must leave the echr to cut visas to end what she calls two tier policing she was left exposed none of my cabinet colleagues stood up for me not one the conservatives might respond that recollections vary but braverman is insistent that there is a zeal in reform which she is convinced
