Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over Β£20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost

I really wonder what would need to happen to disrupt the British mediaβ€˜s current obsession with immigrants.
I am serious. What would it take to talk about something else? Putin invading a few more countries? Another Prime Minister being hounded out of office? Global economic collapse? A tidal wave?

The whole thread is worth reading. The dog-whistling of the past fifteen years has lead to this.

Point well made. In that case, I have a Pentel 205 that I appreciate.

What strange times, when the commander of RAF Greenham Common is coming out as a liberal supporter of the right to protest

Pentel? No, Uniball makes the treasures.

Please read this. This is what our mania over immigration is doing to us. Psychologically brutalising British children

Caught up now. I'm glad she stood up for herself.

Zelenskyy is my hero. A true anti-fascist. A man with more bravery and dignity in his other finger then most of his detractors will encounter in their lifetime

Very much like. I don't want to be stumbling through rubble, eating charred rat.

That's just what it sounded like. I hope it didn't startle anyone into having an accident. It was a bit much!

Fix Brexit, fix Britain The UK economy – Rachel Reeves has called for honesty. Here it is!

The damaging impact of leaving the EU on the UK economy is clear.

It's fitting that at Β£40 billion, the budget black hole the Brexiter Tories left the Labour government is the same size as the Β£40 billion in lost exchequer revenue due to Brexit.

It's a totally engrossing book. I would say it's a must-read, with a "right place, right time" caveat, in that it contains a plethora of confronting information.

Throw it up for sale for a few months. If you get no takers, then maybe recycle it.

I haven't been here or there since last October. I'm going to endeavour to keep up here, but not there, especially as the population has grown vastly since then.
