C’est la fin de la semaine, certains d’entre nous éprouvent une saine fatigue. Mais lorsqu’elle s’incruste et devient chronique, la fatigue tourne au symptôme et nous affecte en profondeur.

(55) Douglas Murray And Roger Scruton On The Future Of Conservatism & Debate | The Spectator – YouTube
An excellent discussion between Douglas Murray, Sir Roger Scruton and an enquiring and courteous audience.
“Our greatest Prime Minister, in my view, Lord Salisbury, was in office for twenty years, and no one can remember him.”

Given the excitable state of the world and the credulity of so many, it is time to emphasise the importance to the world of those who speak the truth and retain their composure. This is such a man. LJ

The Three Musketeers: A Comedy Adventure | Theatre Royal Winchester
This was an extravagantly delightful display of coruscating ludic pyrotechnics and sustained intellectual and physical athleticism. Pure entertainment performed with unrelenting energy and an infectious lightness of touch. We enjoyed the ride!LJ
From Le Navet Bete, award-winning creators of smash-hit shows Dracula: The Bloody Truth and Dick Tracy, comes a hilarious new comedy adventure that will have you rolling with laughter from here to the French countryside.
Armed only with a baguette and his questionable steed, join hot-headed D’Artagnan as he travels to Paris full of childish excitement and misplaced bravado to become a Musketeer.
Will things go to plan? It’s unlikely. With four actors and over 30 characters, this will be their most hilariously chaotic adventure yet!

Simon Evans Is Right – BBC Sounds
An interesting examination of the rôle of the authentic comedian, currently beleaguered by the neo-orthodoxy of the woke cult and its swelling pressure to lean acquiescently and naively to the perilous political left, notwithstanding lessons from 20th century history.

In her discussion with Anne McElvoy on the podcast “The Economist Asks” Amy Chua offers some wise and unusually balanced insights into the problematic schism entailed by identity politics and the damage caused to the “connective tissue” holding heterogeneous societies such as the USA and the UK together.
The Economist asks: Have identity politics gone too far? | The Economist asks on acast
Tribalism has always existed, but is now playing a far more pivotal role in society: from the rise of gender and ethnic affiliation, to nationalist parties in Europe and even the appeal of Donald Trump. Amy Chua, author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” and “Political Tribes”, explains why the politics of sharp-edged identities have become so powerful.For information regarding your data privacy, visitacast.com/privacy
