@mf6060 @traquairhouse Although I haven’t had the chance to examine the letter physically I advised that it was very likely genuine on date, handwriting & context. A major find.

@overlandertheb1 @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita @EmpirePodUK The numbers are from TNA Y218 History A-level documentation with an exact figure of 138600 at eg Ypres, Loos, Cambrai, Neuve Chapelle & the Somme.

Prophetic. Adam Smith on the inbuilt trade advantages of neighbours (since refined) & Hayek on the autarkic pretensions of the return to the gold standard come to mind. No Singapore on Thames is available.
I was tempted to write something on the 5th anniversary of #Brexit, but so much ink has been spilled already on this, that I preferred to go back to a couple of pieces I wrote at the time. This just before the vote in May 2016: (1/n)

Very good to see- I think I ran the first U.K. course on this at Manchester from 2004- it was very popular though I remember someone complaining that the one week watching a film was too lowbrow!
We’re thrilled to announce our research event on Scottish and Irish Gothic on 11 April, with a keynote by Claire Connolly and a fabulous lineup of speakers. We look forward to welcoming you. Full details and registration below:

Good to catch up with this fine bio of an ‘old friend’. Excellent section on Gold Standard debate of the 1920s as an expression of U.K. autarkic sovereignty at odds with international realities…

Uniquely, Dumfries and environs have four of the houses lived in by this global poet still standing- of these the flagship is @Burns_Ellisland @GlasgowBurns where an exceptional piece of place making is in progress
Infrastructure @Burns_Ellisland is becoming suitably complex as we build THE Burns heritage project for the 21st Century. Please become a member at Ellisland if you can afford it - not expensive & membership provides great moral as well as financial support.

Really excellent piece on the successes of devolution since 1999- which have been extraordinary by comparison to English regions outside the SE.
This is substantially a cities thing and it has happened since devolution. I've written about it more here. It is also largely unnoticed in British national discourse because most discourse-doers live in the Greater South East, the only place better off.
