    NORMALIZING FASCISM (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I had planned to take a sabbatical from political writing this weekend as there are important developments regarding my writing career that really need attention. (Sorry, NDA on that one but it involves TV not novels). That said, there has been so much to write about since Daniel “Tomo” Thomas’ act of attempted murder in Portsmouth was covered by every legacy platform other than the BBC and Andy Burnham’s groveling to Trump at the UN in New York revealed precisely why everyone should vote for Za

    THE MAN IN THE HIGH TOWER (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The Independent notes that Trump’s sweeping ban on the media in the White House marks a slip into full blown dictatorship. Fair play to Alan Rusbridger.

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This morning I received an urgent appeal from Palestinian journalist Huda Skaik who has already made a significant name for herself covering the genocide in Gaza.

Now she’s been offered a place at London University but there is a problem in the form of the extortionate fees foreign students have to pay in the UK University sector. In fact, Huda has to raise thousands by Wednesday. Fortunately, Drop Site News are trying to

    A SAD POLITICAL EPITAPH (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Unlike many on the Left I retained a soft spot for Tom Watson, whom I first met as a teenager canvassing for the Labour Party in my native West Midlands in 1979. His expose of Rupert Murdoch’s criminal activities was outstanding and he’s one of the few politicians to recognise that a Deep State paedophile network founded by Cecil King (and for which Jimmy Savile served as pimp) manipulated British politics, arms sales and a second tier banking network until it was absorbed into the larger Octopu
