NORMALIZING FASCISM (opens the original)
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

In fact, Huda has to raise thousands by Wednesday. Fortunately, Drop Site News are trying to
A SAD POLITICAL EPITAPH (opens the original)
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
