NEW: The Home Office have confirmed to me that last night the Border Force vessel Ranger, returned migrants back to France, after rescuing them in French waters. The FIRST TIME this has EVER happened.
It's not yet clear if this is a direct change of policy from the Home Office.

Indeed. My stalker has stolen yet another of my favourite rants - against Michelin food

Here’s a photo of “the world’s most beautiful Romanesque cloisters”. In Arles cathedral
They also have the skull and leg bone of St Anthony of the desert. One of the first ever saints, famous for his “temptations” in Egypt. Who managed to survive being “beaten to death” by cave-demons
Brilliantly, the bones of the saint made it to Arles via some fabulously arcane route, including a gift by “Emperor Basil the Bulgar Slayer”
Arles est fantastique
British bishops attended the Council of Arles in 314. During Anthony's lifetime. One of many things schoolchildren don't learn just in case it fires their imagination.

My older daughter is very smart and reads a lot (she just devoured Brave New World in the 2 hour flight from Gatwick to Marseilles)
I mentioned that I’m reading a biography of Charles de Gaulle. Her answer:
“Who?”
She’s never heard of CHARLES DE GAULLE
And she’s clever and highly literate. She went to a supposedly “outstanding” north london comp then another “outstanding” sixth form and she’s in line for a top of the range uni
What the fuck are we teaching our kids? Every child should know by the age of 18 who Charles de Gaulle was. Its bonkers and stupid

One of my grandsons has just finished a History at Manchester (2:1, if you’re interested). During his time he had to do an essay on significant changes to young people’s lives in the 1960’s, and I asked him if he’d included the ending of National Service. He said he didn’t. If we’d had National Service through the 60’s we wouldn’t have had the bands!

You know, I'm not certain I knew of de Gaulle before I went to uni. There wasn't much on WW2 in secondary school really (loads on WW1) and pretty much nothing post WW2. Obviously we should all know about him anyway, but I'm not as shocked as maybe I should be.
I think I first became aware of him in the post-war context, probably when reading up on the formation of the EU.
I remember where I was when I heard he had died; and I had a French lesson in school where the matter got aired that very afternoon nearly 54 years ago.
I think I became aware of De Gaulle when I read The White Rabbit, which was a WW2 French Resistance biography. That would be in my teens; we had a large collection of such books from an aunt who died early.

I’ve been away so I can understand why the site is a bit grumpy and bored, so I apologise. I’m on hols with ma fille
But this might cheer you all up. The gazette have just told me this afternoon that it is sending me to Japan’s Yaeyama archipelago, one of the most exotic and fabulous destinations on the planet
Isn’t that good news? Surely everyone just feels little bit happier now, knowing that at least one PBer is going to this amazing place?

According to Larkin the really big thing in the 1960s was the invention of sexual intercourse, which of course began in 1963.
It was brought into existence by the Beeching Report.

It has been thus since the night of the debate. The only question was how much humiliation Mrs Biden would allow her husband to endure before pulling the rip chord.
Good news on open convention. Most entertaining outcome but also the best chance of getting a good candidate.

Not sure about the third, or if it's rhetorical, but it almost certainly won't be Michelle Obama.
I'd say Whitmer is value at 15s.
