She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

My self imposed book ban is going well...

Cirencester was the Roman Corinium, second only to London in size with 10,000 inhabitants. Its amphitheatre was one of the largest in Britain. It was built in the early 2nd century and it could hold c. 8,000 spectators. It was fortified against Saxon invaders. #RomanSiteSaturday

Today’s feature is up on Substack. I’ve been obsessing over my Tank Memorial Book again, but this time I’ve put all of the citations in context. You get tanks, Canadians, and a bad few days for the German Army in 1918… achurchill.substack.com/p/full-featu...

A bit late to the party, but what a fantastic review! While I did enjoy it somewhat, all the little things did begin to annoy me ( mainly how Geta, Caracalla, and Macrinus were portrayed). It all felt very rushed until they reached the colosseum and then slowed down.

Absolute fascist violence.
