It’s been a while since I have gazed out at the world from the man cave, mid-December in fact. It has not stopped me writing, but a couple of ‘Silly Season’ columns were the best I could do. Now that we have cut steps across the frozen waste that is our garden to the man […]

Last week, the Princess of Wales released the latest of her quarterly videos. Lots of slightly soft-focus visuals of HRH walking through the countryside like a House of Bruar model while a slow, serious, pause-filled voiceover gave us her thoughts about winter.

We’ve barely had time to recover from our Christmas hangovers or to start breaking our New Year resolutions, and the silly season has started. Less than a week into 2026 and our lords, masters, foreign countries and corporations have already given us a taste of what is to come for the rest of the year.

In the last half century or so, we Brits have been asked to tolerate a lot. Every decade we are asked to tolerate a bit more. What is our limit? Is there one? Do we just go on into infinity tolerating more and more? Sixty-odd years ago, following legislation to legalise homosexuality, the Establishment tentatively
