It is better to incur a mild rebuke than to perform an onerous task

Eddie Mair goes through Liz Truss for a shortcut here. Truss is just one of the many terrifyingly stupid and completely dishonest Tory ideologues who are now running things. A government of amoral idiots, voted in by amoral idiots. It won't end well.

It’s Hallowe’en. The turnip-man’s lopped head
Blazes at us through split bottle glass
And fumes and swims up like a wrecker’s lantern.

Death mask of harvest, mocker at All Souls
With scorching smells, red dog’s eyes in the night－
We ring and stare into unhallowed light.

It is times like this that shows that Twitter is broken. Blue tick bad faith actors, liars and disinformation mongers are not only promoted by the algorithm, but it also monetises their content.

[Sam Bright @WritesBright]

The new provost of Eton, quoted in today’s Telegraph.

80% of his close male friends are from Eton and he treats everyone else with suspicion.

No wonder the school spews out so many egomaniacs and weirdos

[James B @piercepenniless]

In the sense that it was a load of rancid incoherent bollocks stitching together a clutch of nasty bigotries, yeah, it was truly Scrutonian.

[Dr Anne Marie D'Arcy @dramdarcy]

No, it was not 'gifted' by anyone, it was seized by one of the most brutal colonizers Ireland to which Ireland has ever been subjected, who honed his genocidal skills with Drake. That seizure was challenged, and retrospectively legitimized in the nineteenth century ...
