Nostalgia and the new – from Oasis to church
Steve Kneale
It seems nostalgia is back in vogue. My last article in these pages referenced Blur and Damon Albarn’s hissy fit at Coachella. By some coincidence, the perma-bickering Gallagher brothers seem to have made up and decided to get Oasis back together.
Cue much hoopla from middle-aged people and geriatric millennials who remember the first time (if you spot the allusion to another Britpop band and write in with the correct answer, just like the ’90s Saturday TV of yore, en might send you a Marathon Bar and a Tamagotchi!)
Why I am not a monarchist
Steve Kneale
In October’s en we carried an article by Professor Gerald Bray about the institution of the monarchy. It concluded by saying: ‘Evangelicals … are fortunate indeed to be the heirs of such a strong and enduring tradition.’ We stated at the time that there is an alternative, very legitimate, evangelical republican view which we now carry in this article.
Before you release the hounds, it’s important to say from the outset I was approached and asked to write this.
