I think old age just lets you see the similarities. Two sides of the same coin, both ultimately pursuing a romantic notion of “honour”; they just dress up the act in different colours.
Of course, we’re right and defending civilisation and they are completely deluded dreamers, but, in a certain light, if you squint, well…

I didn't win many friends for pointing out that deluded idealistic young muslims heading from western countries to Syria in the 2010s were doing exactly the same thing as deluded idealistic young lefties heading from western countries to Spain in the 1930s. But I was right.

I just came to check whether someone did. Saw him live in London a few times, always great.

No way... At 50 too.  Was just watching "Count me in" the other day. He did have the gaunt cheek bones of someone who enjoyed the rock and roll lifestyle mind.

Geoff Fuller, publican at the Three Stags and (and I'm ashamed I never knew this when I used to go in there) significant craft potter:

Probably unknown to most, but have strong memories of here being one of the runners that got profiled in the broadcasts from the Comrades marathon every year in SA.

Great obituary.  You’d never have guessed he was such a talented craftsman.

Probably the most unique / best pub in the country IMHO. Still is.
Every time I go in with my mates we laugh and talk about the experience for weeks afterwards!!

Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode. A bit gutted about this, Depeche Mode were "my band" in my teenage years, New Life was probably the song that change the course of my musical interest from ABBA, Boney M &  the usual late 80s chart fodder to electronic music, a love that still remains today. I used to get all the LPs on import vinyl, a significant investment living in SA.

Also Ray Liotta, a great actor, who I've enjoyed in some great roles.

One afternoon nearly 19 years ago I took a girl I had recently started seeing into that pub on a sunny afternoon, saying how charming it was. It was dark inside, and the barman was engaged in conversation with the only customer. Next to him, stretched out on the bar, were two very fat, very dead rabbits.

She didn't hang around for a drink. God knows how she's still with me now.

Was ever a more incongruous piece of knitwear worn to a neo-nazi rally?

Yeah, wearing a jumper with actual snowflakes on is a bit of a give away that you’re really a wokeist rather than a true right winger.
