these are opportunities to generate passive tolerance. Sadly, however, many of these initiatives have fallen victim to local authority funding cuts. The impact of austerity has been compounded by a loss of confidence – in which Putnam's research played its part – about fostering strong diverse communities. Multiculturalism has fallen from favour, misunderstood and maligned as the set of ideas that guided community relations for a generation.

No one was more acutely aware of this danger than Putnam himself when he talked to me on the publication of his research in 2007, the timing made the danger all the more acute in the aftermath of 7/7 bombings. Since then the theme of integration has come to dominate – with its coercive and conformist overtones. The result has been ahad to fight Ahenobarbus like 4 times because he kept letting him
go.

With that, Caesar turned into an absolute master by making reasonable
calculated risks and surviving them. By the point he was clearing the last of
the Pompeans in Africa at the end of the Civil War, he didn't even leave his
tent to give commands -- so confident and expertised in warfare that he didn't
even have to see the field of battle.

This is a bit of a ramble. I really admire Julius Caesar and think there's so
much to learn by studying his life and habits.

Was this an indication of the experience and initiative
