Cambridge Literary Festival a few weeks ago to hear from George Monbiot and moderated by Willy Dunn. Very interesting evening. 👏 @willydunne.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
10.05.2025 08:31 — 👍 4 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0What a marathon day yesterday - 4.5 hours of studio time to finish narrating my memoir 'Gino's Contraband' - yes, the state mistook ME for a criminal and contraband smuggler and nearly was my undoing. Today, I'm allowing myself a day "off" and ramping up transition to BSky.
