As it stands, I’m expecting War Between the Land and Sea reviews to be Patreon-exclusive.
(This could change if I get $200 or so of new pledges, but I kinda don‘t expect The Shape of Water: Sea Devils Remix to get us there.)

And it's not as if it was even hundreds of thousands of fringe extremists. I was at the big London rally. The usual suspects were there, but Charles Kennedy, Mo Mowlam, and the Mayor of London at the time Ken Livingstone all spoke. I walked past Alan Rickman in the crowd.
As a now old man I recall my incredulity when the Serious People admitted that the Iraq war was based on a series of lies, but then went to “of course, there is no way we could have known at the time.”
Hundreds of thousands of people were in the street telling you so at the time. How did they know?

I'm thrilled that Upon A White Horse is going to be Radio 4's Book Of The Week. The first episode, which is on Stonehenge, will be on December 8 at 11.45am – and then there will be a reading from a different part of the book every day up to and including December 12. I hope you'll enjoy listening.
