The Silly Season - A Slice of UK Life [Episode 150]

British Culture: Albion Never Dies

Don't be shy, send me a message!

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting 3 local Members of Parliament, and Michael Gove, who has been a member of cabinet for 12 of the last 13 years. He has served 4 of the last 5 Prime Ministers (not Liz Truss). I was able to meet them all at a dinner thanks to parliament being in recess, when politicians return in Autumn to their shires and connect with their constituents. I talk about this, the ensuing lack of UK political news as all the 'great men' are 'out of town'. I then delve into the sillier stories that pack out the main national papers at this time before diving into one of my absolute passions: local newspapers.

I mainly draw upon: Keighley News and The Craven Herald.
