Sometimes on boards like this you get some surreal moments.
John Laughland and I go back a long way - to the early 2000s, when John was writing a lot of poetry. I haven’t had any contact with him since then, yet I know he will remember me.
We were part of a coterie of poets ranting and raving about politics back then. Most of them are now dead. I’m a bit depressed to see that John, whilst alive and kicking, is now in the bald and fat category. If I remember correctly, John practically renounced his British citizenship (like a lot of us did) and went to live in Turkey.
So many have died over the years; good to see John still giving 'em hell.

Oh and John, if you’re tuning in here’s a recent pic of me - neither bald nor fat, although of course my eyes have gone…

Nice one CJ, ta.
Thanks for those clips. Baudet is one of the very few politicians in The Netherlands at the moment who dares to question the mainstream narratives. They must be desperate to cancel him.
Power to their arms! Freedom of debate and of speech are non-negotiable basic rights. Good to see Nederlanders are fighting back too.
And the velar fricative is well and truly alive and thriving in Nederlands. Love it!
