I like to read long books if they're properly edited and not full of waffle (eg. Robin Hobb), but I've come across some notable authors' overly padded tomes - publishers know they'll sell anyway and don't want to spend too much on editing (or editors are daunted by the reputation of the author?).

Is the UK government moving closer to this OED definition of fascism? "Any form of behaviour perceived as autocratic, intolerant, or oppressive; esp. the advocacy of a particular viewpoint or practice in a manner that seeks to enforce conformity." #palestineaction #protest #genocide #armstrade

I wrote a little poem
about nothing
knowing it would go
nowhere
but then it came back
to haunt me
it was a rather sorry affair
