‘…I have not seen such a lack of vision, such a vacuum of ideas, such general disorganisation, nor such cavalier decision-making about institutions and programs built up through hard work over decades’ - Prof Frank Bongiorno (national treasure) on ANU cuts www.canberratimes.com.au/story/901516...

Looking for any scholarly stuff on the demographic composition of contemporary Australian extreme right. Like gender, age, class, geography, etc

Catch the talk that Mike Hajimichael and I gave at the AAEH in Auckland on 10 July titled 'Colonialism, EOKA and Ochlocracy in British Cyprus: The Mob Killing of Savvas Menikos in 1958'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlte...

Just 32% of those who would consider voting for a Corbyn-led party say it is the party they are most likely to consider voting for, including only 9% saying it is the only party they would consider voting for (of the main national parties) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

I see lots of propaganda again repeating the same myths about the events in Cyprus from July 1821. This talk sets that record straight. Chapter also published in a book for more updated version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4i0...

Facebook reminds me that it is five years since my book came out in the middle of the pandemic. Tough times to generate much fanfare! Social media was the main outlet.

I did not know this: “Soccer” originated in 19th c. England to differentiate association football (soccer) from rugby football (rugger). Fascinating. “Anyone who pretends that soccer is purely an Americanism and football always has been the term used in England is simply incorrect.”
