This is where BLACK OPS AND BEAVER BOMBING began: on a riverbank near Otterton in the summer of 2020. After filming this clip, I moseyed upstream and nearly walked straight into a beaver that was squatting on its hind legs eating willow. @MathewsFiona

I'd heard this rumour and I still can't quite believe it's true. It would be the most stupid and craven policy decision imaginable.

A very fair article on beaver bombing from a surprising source. None of this would need to happen if successive governments weren't so pusillanimous. (P. S. why not gift a copy of BLACK OPS AND BEAVER BOMBING for Christmas? It's a banger.)

The Guardian wades in on the decline of Eng. Lit. Plenty of handwringing but no solutions.

A mixture of the true and the silly in this article predicting the demise of the Eng Lit degree. Is Jekyll and Hyde really 'an awful novel`? And if a dog is already dead, isn't it overkill to 'put it down'?

What are you doing on Wednesday 5 March at 5.30pm? Yes, I know it's a long way off, but now you can plan accordingly. I will be speaking on on the poetry of the Second World War at the London Archives. Do come along.

@TomCook24 I was thinking in particular of Huxley and Golding, with a large supporting cast and a thread of bibliomemoir. A kind of sceptical visionariness. I'm quite glad not to be writing it, really.

My old college, @ChCh_Oxford, is again in the news for all the wrong reasons. The college has an endowment of £770 million but advertises an early-career role at less than the minimum wage. They are absolute shysters.

Sadly, this is as daft as it's well-meaning. Duffy's nature poetry anthology isn't going to save us, any more than those WW1 poets --- inevitably invoked towards the end of the article --- saved us from future conflicts.
