The author would like to point out that as he goes about criticising ignorance, poor understanding, bias, the objectification of women, ineffectiveness in British Government and the secular nature of modern society, he is in no way guilty of anything he accuses other people of. Honest.

The persuasive power of a good moustache


David Starkey from when he taught history at the LSE in the 1980s. I disagree with the man on almost all points, but that is definitely quite a moustache. I can almost frame the 1950s Conservative Party election poster around that picture.

The picture comes courtesy of Wikipedia.

  2. Well yes. Possibly a certain used-car salesmanship about it
