Sleep well, Stephen Kovacevich. For me, you were a greater human and kinder and more generous than your entire generation put together.

Rubio, last week: we are in a civilizational war against Iran.
Rubio, today: wow this city in Central Asia with a bunch of Persian architecture sure seems pretty cool, wonder who built it

Imagine thinking that the way to avoid the Balkanisation of Britain is by inciting ethnic and religious hatred and carrying out ethnic cleansing. These people are incredibly stupid.

Rupert Lowe is quite open about the fact that, if his party ever took power, it would provoke chaos and rioting and the result would be 'incredibly painful'. He wants to be an English Radovan Karadzic. You'd have to really hate Britain and England to vote for this maniac.

Am late to post my @NewStatesman column but here it is.

For @TheIdeasLetter I wrote about Marc Bloch and the challenge of writing synthetic and structural history. Featuring the Annales, Pirenne, Keynes, fin de siècle social science, and the generalizing ambitions of Carlo Ginzburg and the micro-historians.
