I’m saying nothing, other than to point out that Visconti’s adaptation of The Leopard looks like this
WW2 heroine Noor Inayat Khan in the summer of 1926. Have you ever seen this rare photograph of her before?
I want to clear the air about the 98% figure quoted by @rivkahbrown here. It's wrong. I was the original person criticizing it when the Cass review report was released in April. My inaccuracy there was inherited from the Cass Review's own press release. novaramedia.com/2024/11/12/are…
A bunch of greedy people who became very wealthy under the international rules-based system have now trashed that system because they think they can do business with gangsters. Can't guarantee it, but I suspect that life is about to come at them very fast.
Goodwin's category of "mother born abroad" covers Winston Churchill as well as Kemi Badenoch, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg. Extend it to parents and he catches King Charles III, Michael Howard & Harry Kane.
Nearly 1 in 3 children in the UK —32%— are now born to mothers who were born overseas. The highest proportion since records began —The Times
no one’s lost a Tony this quickly since Maria asked Chino how many bullets were left
we are obviously very happy but the loss and cuts of fringe venues and festivals across the UK means fewer shows like ours will emerge- plz do give your local small venues love and support and moooneyyyyyyyy ✨✨✨
The fact that Operation Mincemeat is heading to Broadway should be celebrated loudly! Not only a British musical but one that started at the fringe! I cannot stress the importance fringe theatre is for the UK! We need to make it viable for all involved cos it creates diamonds!
How did German-Jewish refugee 'Secret Listener' Paul Douglas feel about bugging the conversations of his former countrymen during the Second World War? He said: ‘I never felt I was betraying Germany. Germany betrayed me.’
With veteran Paul Douglas many years ago. Paul was one of approx. 100 listeners who bugged the conversations of German Generals and POWs on British soil during WW2. I am proud to have brought to light the wartime efforts & legacy of the 'Secret Listeners' through publication.
Wishing a very happy Diwali to all my friends celebrating. May light triumph over darkness. https://t.co/UfEahgUf0k
Happy Halloween! 👻🎃 The emblem pictured of 'Three Witches on Broomsticks' was used by Intelligence School 9 (Western Europe), part of MI9, during their covert operations in Holland, 1944. You can read about Operation Blackmail in my book on MI9 - insignia of IS9(WEA).
A perfect poem about the joys of NOT writing by Ha Jin:
new Mozart dropped before The Winds of Winter
Marlene Dietrich, born in Germany, became a U.S. citizen after defying Hitler’s request to return. During the Second World War, she performed for American troops and in 1944 was approached by the OSS to record songs for broadcast with the intention to purposefully perform dreary…
There's a word for someone who indulges in this sort of behaviour but I'll see you next Tuesday before I use it on Twitter.
Not only is John Eliot Gardiner performing the exact same programme as his former ensembles, a week earlier, in the same venue - the venue is letting people exchange tickets from the one concert to the other
Also enjoyed James Earl Jones’s subtle hand (!) acting in this subsequent scene
Americans are genuinely culturally impoverished by not having the word “Oi” Imagine translating ‘Hwæt’ as “Hello world!” Hawez mate
I think of "Hwæt!" (the opening word of "Beowulf") as the first word of English literature. Scholars write articles on what it might mean. If you were translating "Beowulf," how would you capture "Hwæt!" in our English?
Yeah honestly this is such a moving and compelling part of his background for me. He didn't have to do this. He just didn't. And that he sponsored a GSA in the 90s... My queer friends understand what a difference this would have made for so many of us. 1/5
I have a couple of queer classmates who might still be alive today if a football coach had stepped up to be the faculty sponsor of a gay-straight student alliance at my high school in the 90s and 2000s.
As well as having a solid grounding in German, Italian or Japanese, the suitability of Bletchley Park codebreaker candidates was tested by their ability to complete the Daily Telegraph crossword in under 12 minutes. As well as linguistic, mathematical and analytical genius, MI6…
Mair Russell Jones, a Welsh codebreaker at Bletchley Park, used her linguistic skills to decode German Enigma messages during WW2. "For 4 years I'd done nothing but thought about German codes, while I worked, while I ate, while I slept." We are eternally grateful - thank you!
