Oh

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

I always find clues for previous owners’s lives when an old book or magazine is bought in a charity shop - who was Angela Preece? This is my first clue - The Deptford Wives

OCTOBER BOOKS @octoberbooks.bsky.social · 1d

❌ Celebrate Banned Books Week UK⁉️

This is not another Book Week, but rather raising awareness about how our freedom of speech is being controlled through the exclusion, censorship, and banning of books in schools, libraries and publications.

Yesterday , for “millionaire Jack Whitehall needs more money so is collecting from Saudi Regime” Day - I said Asaad Al Ghamdi wouldn’t be there due to 20 year sentence for government criticism on social media - in fact, he was release a couple of months ago which is great news
