They say you can take the man out of London, but you can’t take the London out of the man. After eight years in America, I realized that some things—like trying to explain tea to a Texan—are just... Only in America.

Four books self-published, and all with unsolicited five star reviews on Amazon. You'd think I could make a living at this writing game. Perhaps it's no longer about the art, but the size of the PR budget.

#Epstein One client is no longer a Prince, or a duke, has lost his Royal home, his income, been publicly disgraced, banished from all public engagements, and is being pressured to testify in the enquiry.
The other Epstein client is the President of the USA.
See how it's done America?

The best feeling for an author is when someone comes up to you and says "My sister raved about your book... so I bought a copy."
She didn't borrow her sisters and cheat me out of a precious sale, she bought her own copy. (I signed it... and her sisters.)

Sometimes Mother Nature does something amazing that makes you realise how insignificant we petty squabbling humans really are...

#starmer Time for Keith Starmer to be a Churchill, not a Chamberlain.

Well that's a review if ever there was...
"Quite possibly Britain's answer to Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island'"

Rest in peace, Janey Godley. You were 100% right.

Nazi America - it's real:
In his interview with CNN, Miller said it was "the formal position of the US government that Greenland should be part of the US"

Let's see if I've got this right...
Iran - if you kill people, we kill you
Venezuela - We're gonna bomb the shit out of you
Russian aggression in Ukraine - Nah. Fuck off
trump = the arsehole of the world.

Today's silver price crash, wasn't a "market correction"; it was a coordinated intervention. The CME broke the silver rally to save insolvent short-sellers, while the Fed provided $34bn of "hush money" to keep the banking system from crashing.
And all this, thanks to trump's policies.

I see no point in Bluesky... it's full of Americans whining about their authoritarian pro-russian state and not doing anything to end it. #america

Never thought NATO would have to go to war against America over Greenland, but there it is. What with his pro-putin stance over Ukraine, will someone ffs please put the Orange one in a box as soon as possible?

#robreiner There is not a sewer in the world with a big enough stench to hide the smell of that piece of shit in the White House.

#brownshooting If enough Americans chose not to live under the gun, nor live under trump's inciteful bullshit, America really could be great again. Your choice.

In a small village in Scotland, a man plays a Ukrainian song on his Scottish Small Pipes for our Ukrainian refugees. They stand and sing. This is why trump is the most deviant piece of crap the world has ever known, and he's taken America down the toilet with him. #ukraine #usa #war #slavaukraini

Since crybaby trumpy doesn't like being called names or having any facts about his seedy life being published, I've decided my best plan of action to increase sales of this book is to send him a copy so he can ban it...
(thereby making it a million seller as everyone will want to know what I said).

Time to establish whether #bluesky is a platform worth continuing with... so, a little survey...
If you've seen this book, browsed it, read it, or reviewed it, post a like or comment to that effect. (Thanks).

There should be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Janey Godley's assessment of Donald trump was correct....
Forcing Ukraine to accept losing some of its territory is absolute shyte and he IS a c**t.
Who's next? The Baltics? More of Ukraine? Moldova?
Shove it, America.
