Andrew Neil’s superb monologue after the Bataclan terrorist attack in Paris.
Ten years on:
- The BBC wouldn’t air it now.
- Islamist politics has gone mainstream — the method’s changed, the mission hasn’t. The "scumbags" are now MPs.

Great pleasure to see you @ChiefMI6 and to be able to show you around @bletchleypark as well talking about the history shared between our respective organisations.

Really delighted to be @bletchleypark - the home of the WWII Code breakers and the birthplace of AI - for the opening of their new exhibition The Age of AI. Genuinely fascinating & thought-provoking, as much about the future as the past, the challenges & opportunities. Loved it.

During WW2, the Bletchley Park Drama Group staged performances of established plays and wrote their own original material, usually musicals.
Each Christmas the Bletchley Park Drama Group would put on a Christmas Revue. The Assembly Hall was outside the Park’s security perimeter, so events held there could also be attended by local residents.
Good to see you last night @SLTHeritage and what an evening! Thanks to @ATS_Heritage for the kind invitation.
