Birthday of Georgy Zhukov, Marshal of Red Army, hammer of the Nazis. No saint but stood up to Stalin. Hitler might have won if USSR hadn’t changed war strategy. Zhukov too popular for Stalin to murder after WWII. #RadleyCollegeHistory #RadleyCollegeAcademic Removed sick Beria.

November - time to celebrate the birthday of Voltaire. Brilliant, and irreverent scourge of bully ideologies. Read ‘Candide’ if you get a moment. #JohnLockeInst #RadleyCollegeAcademic #RadleyCollege Tyranny hard and soft needs resisting.

If you haven’t read yet, I’d strongly recommend it. #RadleyCollege #RadleyAcademic @giles_fraser Giles is a very nuanced, gentle and interesting Anglican vicar. Heed his words or no one is safe from the wildly swinging laser beam of thought purity. Ask Robespierre...
Giles Fraser writing brilliantly and asking for a bit of human decency and self-knowledge: no one is without sin. @giles_fraser #RadleyAcademic #UnHerd #giles_fraser The Giles way or the Robespierre way in public discourse??? unherd.com/2020/06/how-cance…

Pinker always worth heeding. S. Nossel worth reading: ‘proponents of social change have the strongest stake protecting speech that is unpopular, or even deemed dangerous’. Jacobinism in public life rarely ends well. #RadleyAcademic #RadleyCollege #RadleyHistory

Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN (writers' group): "Proponents of social change have the strongest stake protecting speech that is unpopular, or even deemed dangerous." Op-Ed: Those who exercise free speech should also defend it — even when it's offensive latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
