    John Cheever's 'The Swimmer' (The Great American Short Story) beautifully read out by Anne Enright. Definitely worth 40 minutes of your time.

    Likewise, arguing that Queen Victoria is not really English because of her German ancestry reflects a similar ideal. It's a Gotcha which shows a lack of intellectual seriousness, which is ironic because these are meant to be enlightened people challenging prejudice.

    This is in the same category as that CBBC video. In trying to defend cosmopolitanism, they've simply reflected an ideal of purity: saying there's no such thing as English because it has other influences presupposes languages are meant to be pure.

    'Ban on Aleister Crowley lecture at Oxford University - archive, 4 February 1930' Back when it was simply the academic staff, rather than the students, who were calling for speakers to be banned.

    This is a compelling documentary and dramatisation of Franz Kafka's 'The Trial' presented by George Steiner. (Starring Tim Roth as Josef K. And Kafka; and the actor who played Fleabag's dad as Titorelli!)

    At the funeral of Swiss theologian Hans Urs Von Balthasar, the future Pope Benedict XVI quoted a mutual friend by describing him as the most cultured man of the century. A description like that also applies to George Steiner. RIP.

    Houellebecqian males are sceptical of modernity's inflated valuation of sex and money because they are devoted to the body as much, if not more, than the mind; they think post sexual revolution society has undermined the possibility of romantic love.

    The new Manifesto Podcast is worth listening to, where and answer listener questions. Jake answers my question about similarities between Valerie Solanas and Amiri Baraka; and between radical feminism and black nationalism.

    Football as an instrument of social bonding. From Albert Camus's 'The Plague'.

    Interesting debate on the New Left by Roger Scruton and Mark Fisher.(Starts at around min 13:00). Funnily enough, they seemed to agree on quite a bit. The debate is annoyingly too short, though.

    Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of Churchill's death. I love this story of a meeting he had with General de Gaulle in September 1940.

    The video quality is not great, but this is a fascinating documentary (the first of a five-part) on Orwell. It was made in the early 80s, so it has the benefit of interviewing people who knew him as a child. The Arena opening credits is also super duper.
