It’s time for my quarterly advert for The Salisbury Review,
as those who’ve shown the good taste to bexome subscribers received the Spring
edition through the letter-box today. For those of you who don’t know it, the
magazine isn’t a round-up of what’s been happening in the cathedral town of the
same name, but, rather, a
compendium of high-quality articles and reviews by some of the most
distinguished and interesting conservative writers of our age (and me – I’m in
the mix as well: not sure why).
This quarter’s edition contains articles about wolf-dogs becoming the breeds of choice in the kuckle-dragging community; the
suggestion that the Hanoverians were A Very Good Thing and that Culloden was
the best thing that ever happened to Scotland; Theodore Dalrymple admitting
that we might not actually be living in the worst of all possible worlds (despite practically everything else he's ever written);
a young chap inviting us to embrace our inner Daily Mail; a thunderous
editorial on how our politico-media class’s rudeness to Polish immigrants is a
sign that Britain is now truly part of the Third World; and an appreciation of
the classic conservative film This Happy Breed by some Scots-Norwegian
with a line through his "o".
As I shall remind you from time to time, a print
subscription at £25 per annum is an absolute snip – and an annual charge
of £12 for an online subscription
(£12!) is too good to ignore, surely. Both forms of subscription are available
here.
