The Spectator’s fifth most-read article of the week was Nigel Farndale on what life was like on board a warship in our ‘much reduced’ Royal Navy. Nigel joined the crew of HMS Bulwark in the Mediterranean where he found a Royal Navy undergoing an identity crisis amidst swingeing cuts.
Our fourth most-read piece was Damian Thompson on the furore surrounding the last-minute decision to pull an incendiary book about the Church of England.
Publisher Bloomsbury sent a panicky message to reviewers asking them to return their copies of ‘That Was The Church That Was: How the Church of England Lost the English People’. You can read Damian’s article about why the decision was made by clicking here.
Freddy Gray’s article written in the wake of Donald Trump’s defeat in Iowa was our third most-read piece. Freddy said that the Trump campaign could now start to fall apart, but he also said there was a chance the billionaire businessman could still bounce back.
