Prose
We need higher standards for academic writing
Confused thinking and confusing prose has led to a reversible decline
Make high culture popular again

The authorities are inept sheriffs of social media
Politicians, the police and the judiciary should stop trying to control a landscape they do not understand
Happy New Keir!
Starmer slings some mud back across the pond
