Total War: MEDIEVAL III is now in early development!

This isn’t just a sequel; it’s the rebirth of historical Total War.

The First World War miraculously produced all sorts of high culture. But every year on this day it is worth watching the ending of the greatest sitcom, which somehow managed to catch the tone of remembrance exactly, perfectly right.

My ‘Glastonbury’ monologue on Times Radio today. More tomorrow 1pm @TimesRadio

‘Death, death to the IDF’ shouted moronic rapper Pascal Robinson-Foster at the Glastonbury music festival. A posh double-barrel name is perhaps not the best handle for a self-styled Rasta radical. So he goes by the name Bobbie Vylan instead. 

We’ll stick to his real name. 

As he strutted the stage shirtless in his white underwear mouthing his mantra — along with a generous dose of anti-semitism — the Glasto crowd dutifully repeated it, again and again. 

I’m not sure what was worse. Mr Robinson-Foster’s call for the death of Israeli defence forces or a mindless audience’s brain-dead repetition of it.

Since the IDF is all that stands between Israel’s survival and it being wiped out by its Islamist enemies, to call for the death of the IDF is tantamount to advocating a second Holocaust. No doubt they hadn’t quite thought that through. 

But if you don’t really know what you’re talking about it’s probably best just to stay stchum. Especially in matters of life or death. 

Mr Robinson-Foster also encouraged the audience to repeat the better known mantra, ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’, which also implies the extinction of Israel. Though, again, among those who deploy it, it’s not always clear they have a clue what they’re talking about. 

When asked what river, one pro-Palestinian demonstrator volunteered the Euphrates. Another, when asked what sea, vouchsafed the Caribbean. 

Pro-Palestinian forces are sure of their righteous stance. When it comes to geography — or history for that matter — maybe not so much. 

For those so challenged, the river in question is the Jordan, the sea, the Mediterranean. In between lies Israel. If that is now to be free Palestine then clearly Israel would no longer exist. 

The BBC distributed Mr Robinson-Foster’s rant far and wide by streaming it live on its iPlayer. That has provoked a second row, with some demanding the BBC be charged for disseminating hate speech. 

The BBC will now have to explain why it decided to stream Mr R-F live rather than as pre-recorded and suitably edited for broadcast.  Or if live, why not on a delay? And given none of that was in place, when they heard what he was saying, why did nobody pull the plug?

Avon and Somerset police are investigating Mr Robinson-Foster for hate speech. Inevitably there are those saying that if people can be jailed for moronic tweets — as they have been — then he should be banged up too. 

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Yesterday we learned that the Kneecap Numpties will not be charged over a November 2023 video in which they said ‘the only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP’. Maybe the Twitter Sweeney would have been more resolute if they’d tweeted it.

Kneecap followed Mr Robinson-Foster at Glasto. We’ve come a long way from the summers of love in the 1960s which kicked off the modern mania for pop festivals. Now they seem more blighted by hatred than uplifted by love. 

I was going to say they sometimes seem to have more in common with a Nuremberg rally. But even the Nazis did not scream ‘death to the Jews, death to the Jews’ at their rallies, even if they thought it and that was their intention. 

At Glastonbury a generation which wallows in woke, never had to don a uniform to defend its country and whose idea of danger is to risk reading or seeing something that might trigger it, well that generation not only thought it. They said it out loud.

No they did not. The Conservative government refused requests from both the Lib Dem and Conservative groups on the Council. This was after repeated votes in the council chamber had been lost as at the time Labour had a majority.

It has taken us the best part of 6 years of relentless campaigning to decimate their control of @OldhamCouncil from 47 to 27 seats. It was only then that we forced a vote through for Oldham Council to officially write to the government for a Public Inquiry.

The striking thing about the debate has been Ms Leadbeater’s limitless faith in the bill. She may not doubt because she cannot doubt now; her colleagues should. My final word before the vote in @Telegraph.

I’m biased because I agree, but @danny__kruger’s was honestly the best speech – best conclusion to one, anyway – I have heard from any living parliamentarian. Key passage:

@British_Airways 2 slow members of staff boarding a whole flight from Gran Canaria to London Gatwick. Zero point even being a executive club member as both queues being serviced at the same time. Queuing over an hour. Pathetic
