Someone was obliquely defending Mr Beck in my hearing...

The other evening, and I had to admit that I'd never seen or heard the man. Alex Massie at the Spectator has come to my rescue with what is a rather long YouTube video which I have to admit has so far captured my attention. The mix of truths and half-truths and nonsense is quite amazing. "The whole world will implode." Mr Beck is... amusing; I gather he is selling a book.

The Beck I watched supra is indeed amusing, as I pointed out; but so is this sort of criticism of the Beckian persona or act. Of course it is ridiculous at first glance to imagine the Chinese managing the wild kangaroo or the Turks the 21st c. Bulgurs; yet it would have been entirely unimaginable to a member of the Roman elite in the epoch of her greatest ascendance that North Africa would fall to the barbarians or that their influence would make and unmake the reigns of the Caesars themselves.
