Those drink-fuelled followers of fascism are the minority, although the MSM do nothing but amplify the poisonous drip feed of bigotry from the likes of Farage & Co.

How to write a book:
1. Add words, one after the other (although not necessarily in that order).
2. Read them and understand them.
3. (Unintelligible noises optional at this point).
4. Look at the word count and shed a little tear.
5. Displacement activity (I have a clean house and tidy garden).

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

When we become migrants ourselves, due to natural disaster, war, famine, disease or persecution. When we lose our homes and our possessions, our loved ones and friends. When we risk everything just to survive.
That's what it would take.

How are the #Goodreads reviews doing?

Goodreads review 5 stars - Started on my commute, read over lunch, took a longer lunch than normal to continue reading, read on the commute home, had dinner, finished it in bed. Excellent.

I know more about grass than any human being,
I think,
anywhere in the world
You know, like everything else,
grass has a life.
Do you know that?...
And, the grass here died
about 40 years ago
