Getting stuck into: It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. Written in 1935: a vulgar elected American President appeals to nationalism, anti-elite rhetoric, descends into fascism. Well done Penguin for republishing! Pairing with Fuller's Red Fox, to #AntiTrump, his red states & state media Fox News

Went to pub earlier so had this Alcohol-Free hazy NEIPA with my curry. Wildling from Wiper and True, Bristol. Very drinkable, crisp and fruity.
