Jörvikshire Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Court of the Bretwalda in Wülferhampton. Bloody Foreigner and Wülferhamptonian. Been a bit of a Cnut since 865AD. Skön. No jam, no cream.

Today is the the day we celebrate George, our Patron Saint.
It’s traditional to hang Tommy Robinson from a lamppost, go Farage spotting in Clacton and pick the ReformUK candidates out of a police lineup 👍

I wonder if this will be mentioned by #BBCLaurak when she has her one hour long attack of Starmer this morning?
Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and crags,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of shite St George's flags;
Beside the Greggs, up by the Spar,
I wonder just who these wankers are.

Oh. And happy Dead God day to all those who celebrate.

It’s quiet in Wülferhampton these days. Perhaps it’s the silly season. Perhaps our Glorious Leader has invented golf and gone off to thrash some balls in a bunker somewhere.

I’ve been on my regular summer pillage. Did I miss anything?

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

No thanks. Let’s all join European Movement and build the resistance to this.

It also means undoing copyright on academic works, which (as we keep on saying) is called 'plagiarism' and gets undergraduates in trouble on the grounds of academic integrity but apparently poses no problems at all if it's AI doing it. *internal screaming*
The British Library is a copyright deposit library. If this means a wholesale undoing of copyright to redefine books, art, movies etc as 'data' to please the techbros, the creative industries and all of us working in them are screwed. And viewers and readers will get unoriginal, derivative slop.
Listening to #radio4 discussion of 'sovereign data' such as the British Libraries books as a resource that can generate income by being leased to Ai tech companies. Rather wish government had recognised its sovereign data status for the rest of us when the Library was hacked. #AcademicSky

A colleague told me his wife had brought him a gluten-free, sugar-free carrot cake. Tbh, that just sounds like a carrot.

People with Scandinavian ancestry were in Britain long before these burly warriors, a study suggests.
