Ed Thomas is Alan Partridge played by Harry Enfield.

Not exactly the Newburgh Address, then.

Congratulations--can't wait to read it!

Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are.

My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder.

Uncanny.

A friend on Facebook has improved the image.

I can't help noticing that this lump of spam not only looks like Keir Starmer but also has the same general kind of vibe.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

One must have a heart of stone to read the news of Peter Mandelson without laughing.

Sad but not surprising.

Just heard "Don't Blame it on the Sunshine" in the metro station. Now looking out for people doing the boogie and gonna give them a piece of my mind.
