Richard Armitage tangentially related

Reading around subjects of interest to Richard Armitage fans.

Berlin Station:

• On the issue of how the far Right parties in the U.S. and Europe are harming our societies [it’s about refugees, but not the way you think — it’s the insistence that assimilation cannot work that creates the problems]

Professional matters:

• Accent reproduction: Claire Foy on her difficulties speaking the Queen’s English.

Being a fan:

• On the evolution of the word “stan” (I agree — it used to be strong insult and it clearly isn’t now).

On having a political doppelganger with the same name:

• The “other” George Papadapoulos.

Richard Armitage’s favorite books:

• A longish essay on John Fowles, author of The French Lieutenant’s Woman. (Servetus confesses the Fowles book that has stuck in her memory longest is The Magus.)

And this has nothing to do with Armitage, but it’s stuck in my mind:

• A cake recipe that won’t leave me alone.
