We are very sorry to learn of the death, earlier this month, of the historian, Professor Anthony Fletcher (1941-2026).
A Fellow @royalhistsoc.org since 1976, Anthony was a leading scholar of early modern England. Between 2000-05 he also served as General Editor of @vch-home.bsky.social #Skystorians
"It's impossible to be non-politicised in Cyprus after 1955. But once you leave and move to London, it’s television media, letters to your family back home…you know what’s going on. It’s traumatizing you." thelausanneproject.com/2025/12/12/p...
Delighted to have received my De Montfort University 35 year long service award. Thank you to all staff and students who have helped me on the way.
Despite anti-refugee misinformation, we see in our frontline services every day how refugees already contribute massively to the UK.

We know why people come to the UK: because they already have family here, they speak some English, or they have long-standing ties that help them rebuild their lives in safety.

New post on refugeehistory.org: were there refugees in 16thC England? Answer: it's complicated - migrants and the state were in the process of negotiating a form of refugee protection, which helps us to complicate notions of Britain's "proud history of welcome": tinyurl.com/bdyevr4d
This was a great first session. Looking forward to many more to follow.

Political dissent is a democratic right. People understandably feel disenfranchised by austerity & government mismanagement.
But violence & racism must never be tolerated.
My letter to the Home Secretary urges respect to be upheld & action against all forms of hatred.

Excited to have received the paperback copy of my book on 'The Germans in India'.
Here is a link to my think piece in yesterday's 'Le Monde' about current British immigration political discourse and the centrality of immigration in constructing the multiethnic society into which Britain has evolved, and which is continually evolving.
