A blog I like:

Raedwald (just an English boat). I suspect we may honourably disagree on some things but he has a boat, and reading his previous postings he is a proper seaman. The kind of sailor I’d sleep soundly if he were on watch. His boat and blog have an Old English name, Raedwald after the man who (and as a northerner this hurts) bashed the King of Northumberland in 617 to become King of all England. Raedwald is thought to have been buried at Sutton Hoo in 625.

From his latest post Reform!, he’s angry, and rightly so. As a lifelong liberal, I agree with much of his anger, and how interesting that this kind of anger and dissent is now coming from the right. As G.K.Chesterton (a pompous verbose ass for whom I have little time, but gifted with a turn of phrase) said, we are the people of England and we have not spoken yet. When Raedwald and I largely agree (except on matters of seamanship, on which there are no political differences, one is a seaman or a lubber) an interfering authoritarian government is forging interesting informal coalitions in opposition.
