@lijukic Luka - Radio 6 Cerys Matthews from 1230 has been interviewing a UCL academic on the history of maps. Very interesting.

@lijukic Such a great book and so fast paced. Loved it.

@LukeTryl Or they are totally out of touch with many millions of people tonight!

@lijukic Walked past it a year or so back in astonishment

@lijukic Your current book on Central Europe is superb and beautifully written.

@lijukic Would be good to see city vs rural breakdown. Perhaps it made zero difference…

Are Chinese people in Britain chased down the street for what Beijing does to Uighurs? Are Russians here hunted for Ukraine? Are Afghans attacked over how women are treated back home? No. But Jews are singled out, blamed, and targeted for Israel. The hypocrisy isn’t even subtle.

@robertshrimsley It made me proud to be British that the officers had to read this terrorist his arrest rights as they struggle. Absurd but good and proud if their bravery.

Whatever your view of the police response in Golders Green yesterday if your tweets show you think this was the most important aspect of what happened yesterday, you are showing everyone else, what some of us already knew about you

@lijukic Misha Glenny had a very interesting prog this morning on R4@1130 on the Balkans - bit south of Central Europe but excellent.

Marxist-inspired regimes killed between 60 and 100 million people in the 20th century. The Soviet Union. Maoist China. The Khmer Rouge. North Korea. These were not fringe misreadings of Marx. They were direct political applications, built by people who read him, cited him, and named him as their foundation.

And yet Marxism remains a legitimate intellectual framework in sociology, history, political science, and literature departments across the Western world. Professors who identify as Marxists hold endowed chairs without controversy.

Sowell noticed this pattern and named the mechanism behind it.

In Intellectuals and Society, he observed that intellectuals are the only professionals never judged by consequences.

A doctor who kills patients loses their license. An engineer whose bridge collapses faces lawsuits. An intellectual whose ideas contribute to millions of deaths writes another book. Nobody calls him to account. Nobody takes the degree back. The next conference invitation still arrives.

Sowell's point was not that intellectuals are uniquely evil. It was that they operate inside a system with no penalty for being wrong, which means being wrong carries no cost worth avoiding.

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@alexwickham They want to stay relevant

Almost everything chancellor Reeves announced in her speech today – Backing a third runway at Heathrow. Relaxing planning constraints. Building Britain’s very own golden research triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge. Unlocking money from pension schemes — could and should have been done by the previous Tory government. The fact that none of the above happened is a true measure of how much the Tories squandered 14 years in power. We are almost 2 decades behind where we should be.
