Carmen Callil
A farewell to Carmen
Why will there be no more Carmen Callils?
Wragg must go
He should resign or be fired
The sadness of Sceptical Man
Emotion need not entail irrationality, and fence-sitting need not involve wisdom
How to destroy football
“Blue cards” will only add to the confusion and subjective rulings we’re now seeing
Apologies are useless without action
It is nice that Gillian Keegan has acknowledged reality, but it is not enough
The emptiness of hype
A cultural legacy depends on far more than passing enthusiasm
Men deserve single-sex spaces too
The campaign against the Garrick Club is tiresome and opportunistic
Police Scotland must stop patronising the public
The Hate Crime And Public Order Act will waste the time of the police and endanger the freedoms of the public
The ongoing reality of Russian imperialism
People rationalising Russian military intervention are betraying their ignorance of Russian history
Steering clear of titfer tat
We now are seeing the first flowering of a head-dress renaissance
Discomfort Zone
I recommend The Zone of Interest with the greatest caution: it’s not an easy watch
Pen pusher
My fascination with fountain pens
