Seventy years ago today, February 6th 1952, in a tree in Kenya, a twenty-five year-old princess acceded to the throne. Mark and Royal biographer Robert Lacey shared their thoughts on Friday's Steyn Show. Click below to watch:
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with the anthology edition of The Hundred Years Ago Show and a Sunday song selection that grass-skirts the issue.
~On Monday a new week of The Mark Steyn Show began with Canadian People's Party leader Maxime Bernier on the weekend's biggest story: Canada's heroic truckers. In related news, the UK government backed down on "vaccine mandates". Click below to watch:
~Tuesday's Mark Steyn Show considered the shame of a nation - a new report on "grooming gangs" across the land. Plus: the comparative robustness of French politics, and Conrad Black on Gilbert & Sullivan warmongering:
Afterwards, Snerdley & Steyn got together the old EIB band at New York's legendary radio powerhouse 77 WABC for a brisk tour of topics from Whoopi to Justin via "dark money", truckers, and Canadian toilet paper. Click here to listen:
~On Wednesday The Mark Steyn Show delved further into the wretched state of the British police and the stresses of the Northern Ireland protocol, with guests include former First Minister Arlene Foster and Douglas Murray. You can watch the full show here.
~Thursday's Mark Steyn Show featured indestructible Rotherham survivor Sammy Woodhouse - plus Kate Hoey on the busted backstop and Luke Johnson on the soaring cost of "living". Click below to watch:
Also on Thursday Laura's Links rounded up the Internet from honking truckers to pandemic paranoia.
~Friday's Mark Steyn Show featured Bafta- and Emmy-winning comedy writer Graham Linehan, who has suddenly found himself no laughing matter. You can watch the full show here.
~On Saturday Mark hosted another Clubland Q&A taking questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet on various topics from constitutions to conspiracies. You can listen to the full show here.
Our Saturday movie date found Rick McGinnis with a somewhat controversial take on Doris Day in Love Me or Leave Me.
The Hundred Years Ago Show and Clubland Q&A are special productions for The Mark Steyn Club. The Steyn Club is not to everyone's taste, but we do have members in every corner of the world from Virginia to Vanuatu, and, if you have a chum who's partial to classic poems on video or classic fiction in audio, we offer a special gift membership.
A new week at SteynOnline begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week.
