From Taki

• Hate is not a crime.
• Serial TV: shows with ongoing storylines. I’ve never seen ‘thirtysomething’; just as well because I like the era and culture better that those people helped ruin.
• An island of atheists? As Holmes said, elementary: the country is haunted by Catholicism having been driven from it by force; the ruling class has a ‘creepy self-awareness’ (as an old friend said), knowing jolly well what the names of their old churches and schools mean and saying to all that ‘I will not serve’. More from Fr Hunwicke.
