Love this!!
Excellent series. It's encouraged me to go back to my 1980 copy and reread
Spotted on Southwold pier: “He who controls the Past controls the Future. He who controls the Present controls the Past.” George Orwell

Really pleased by this generous review of the "Political Conversions" series from @aveek18.bsky.social - and sketching out what I see as the new ideological divide is work that I hope to start doing in the coming months
My guess is that if you wanted to buy a cheap set of the 4 volumes of Orwell's collected essays, journalism and letters you've probably missed your window for a while.
Sensational, mind-expanding episode.

Thanks Tim!
Good ep for the global Runcimaniacs of this and other worlds, to hear the viscount talking by (to?) himself for a full hour! (Thanks, team, this is compulsory listening in Orange NSW on Sunday and Wednesday evenings)
Thanks Barry, that’s much appreciated!

In the final part of this series David talks to political historian @dmk1793.bsky.social about how political conversion works today. Is this a post-ideological age or have the ideologies simply changed? Are we still capable of changing our minds?

This was very good especially how it made me rethink a group of people - Claire Fox, the Furedi network - that I had previously just dismissed without thought. From now on I can dismiss them with *some* thought.
High praise indeed!!
That means a lot, thanks Simon ☺️
