@Schwarzenegger I am a psych professor writing a book on Unique
Individuality and am including a section on you. Could I run it by you? Nigel Nicholson
@Baddiel Agree your thesis but I believe you are underestimating the importance of the Covenant to gentile nervousness about Jews being another “help your own” kind of freemasonry
@hughlaurie Check out an amazingly beautiful poem by Rabindrath Tagore capturing the unique human hound relationship. I feel for you - been there. Nigel N
@Baddiel I loved your program about Jewish identity but you fail to mention a major issue unique to Jews - the Covenant. You are born into the freemasonry of a “chosen” people - that could arouse resentment and suspicion, don’t you think?
@bbcnickrobinson@BBCr4today You saw Gavin Williamson as a soft target on the Today show and played stupid gotcha politics instead of letting him try to give a reasoned answer to your hypotheticals. I have no brief for GW who is a creep but this was poor ego driven journalism. Get a new job.
@amolrajanBBC Read about your Today insomnia nerves with sympathy - don't worry, you are superb for the role - smart, analytical, quick - a little too quick at times. Slow your speech down - a little gabbled when mouth tries to keep pace with thought
@rorysutherland Miles Davis dropped out of Berklee; learned about disruptive radical innovation from his mentor, Charlie Parker, which he implemented by taking players beyond the edge of their known musical worlds
@BBCRadio3 why not play some music by great black composers sometimes? Here’s a short harmonic marvel by someone you’ve never heard of - Impromtune by the great Benny Golson - go on - dare to step outside your tight white cultural boundaries for once
