Actually, it’s nearly Christmas, so if you’re someone who’d like a FREE Kindle edition of my book, drop me a line and you can have one.

Writers! Tom Stoppard & Philip Pulman among just a handful of writers who’ve *successfully* engaged with, and incorporated, science in their work. If you’d like to do the same but don’t have a very good grasp of science, this is a good place to start. Don’t take my word for it, read the reviews:

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

At some point we might realise this isn’t just about race, but about the biggest social problem we face: the belief that only rich people are worth anything, that the world must bend to their needs and wants and that the richer you are, the more important and valuable you are to the species
Saw this being shared, didn’t look closely and assumed it was about the US… but no, it’s the U.K.
This is so disgusting.
