As Roisin Lanigan (Observer) says, if the Right was really concerned about national cultural sovereignty & the dilution of national character, they'd not be looking at refugees (or migrants) as the threat but be firmly focussed on the US (specifically social media & the growing impact of AI).
The Americanisation of UK culture has been taking place over many decades but that 'corruption' seems to be welcomed by our political class in general & the right specifically.
Tick tock, drip drop... At 08:00 hrs on Sunday 12 April 2026 the Malmanac weathervane reports 9.5C (feels like 8.0C due to wind), 76% relative humidity, pressure rising slowly 998mb. No rainfall. Wind is blowing 4.7mph from N, gusting to 8.5mph.
Give me your tips for good public torrent sites that often have a good selection of British telly too.
I have a few places that are my go-to but I feel like there are better options out there.

A History of Sex Work Criminalisation in the UK
Recording:
Archive:
Transcription:
Summary:
> This session examined the criminalisation of women's sexual labour in London from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. We looked at relevant histories of trafficking and migration, and at early 20th century decriminalisation campaigns. Dr Julia Laite shared her research on the effects of criminalisation on the sex industry and the experiences of women who sold sex, while emphasising how these laws intersect with gender, class, and race.

Honestly, this does not need much of an introduction.
But just to highlight a few of the topics discussed
How did brothels turn from houses collectively-rented by prostitutes to mostly-male-landlords-owned rooms charged at ridiculous prices
What has been the historical result of tacking repression of comercial sex into laws intended to address trafficking or exploitation
What was abolitionism when applied to sex work at the time, and how does it relate (or not) to current neoabolitionism (Nordic Model)
How did police's treatment of prostitutes shift through that time
How did migration mix in with all of that
and quite a bit more.
Seriously, it's a really recommended listen/read.
