1,099 years ago today, in 927 AD, England became a unified kingdom under King Athelstan.

Truly enough for one day. Time for reading.

Today walking through Treasures of the British Library in London:

Magna Carta (1215)

[Raymond Lavertue @RaymondLavertue]

And, a draft of King George III, A Proclamation for Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition (August 1775).

[Raymond Lavertue @RaymondLavertue]

Shakespeare's First Folio (1623)

It's a pleasure to be back living in England, permanently, after an unexpectedly long time in Finland.

@azankamoka @Nigel_Farage He destroyed countless lives, both of survivors, and of girls who died from drug abuse or suicide as a consequences of his crimes against then. His punishment should have been proportional. Capital punishment isn't an option. Stripping of UK citizenship and deportation is.

@yalepress I have to surmise this was somehow typed in error and that a correction is forthcoming. Does @yalepress even publish novels?

[Raymond Lavertue @RaymondLavertue]

@patsynl @TRobinsonNewEra I do worry about that, but I still have hope that an alternative future can made to unfold for the West.

@bernardtjoy You will likely already have these on your list of places to visit in Finland, but based on your previous posts, the two I could suggest are the Ateneum and the Sinebrychoff Art Museum.

@jondelarroz And they despise the writing on Alex Kurtzman Star Trek for the kind of issues you identify in For All Mankind.

[Raymond Lavertue @RaymondLavertue]

@jondelarroz I'm surprised to hear this. A serious science fiction fan whom I genuinely respect thought it was brilliant. I'm relieved I didn't start it only to become disappointed myself.

@Sully53930788 @TRobinsonNewEra This can't end until the UK military stops the boats from coming.

One of the most incredible things I have ever worked on:

Recently discovered documents, written by John Dickinson in 1775, that reveal his secret and previously unknown efforts to prevent the American Revolution.

Now featured in the New York Times.

Interesting to see so many voices now condemning the King for embracing the role of “Defender of the Faith in a multi-faith Britain.”

But where were they when I wrote my open letter to His Majesty asking these very questions?

Where were they when I warned that redefining an ancient Christian office would have profound constitutional and spiritual consequences?

Silence then. Outrage now.

Some of us spoke before it was fashionable. We did so because truth demands courage, not because it guarantees applause.

@Liberfach0 I live in Finland (at the moment) and non-Western migration and related violent crime is an increasing problem here. Finns are obsessed with not being perceived as "racist," and so unwilling to confront the reality of national crime statistics by ethnicity.

[Raymond Lavertue @RaymondLavertue]

The Guardian continues its anti-Western propaganda, as always replete with sweeping fallacies, here including that Europe's "wealth and global standing were built through slavery, colonial conquest and racialised extraction."

@RupertLowe10 It's clear that only Restore can save Britain.
