World Book Day, eh? Well, here's my bestseller.
Despite the classism inherent in the UK publishing industry, this working-class writer and translator refuses to be silenced.
To be a writer is to be engaged in Marx's class struggle.

By the way, influencers are shallow cunts.
Glad the fuckers are hiding in cellars right now.
The evidence:
Ok. the Jarvie view.
The Epstein war will be over in a few more days. At worst, it might drag on for another week.
The paedophile will declare victory and cease the bombing, once he sees the petrol prices shooting up at the pumps in the US.
Then he might turn his attention to Cuba.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxSk... Quoted in my work in Progress "The Sharp Judge":
"Germany, we're weaving your funeral shroud."
When the new technology of emergent capitalism destroyed their livelihoods, the starving weavers had no alternative but to rise up against their oppressors.
Jarvie spreading the gospel on Twitter until the biker blocked me. He's a Christian. And demonstrates his love for Jesus by advocating violence and hating Johnny foreigner. He wants the Royal Navy to open fire on the boats. That'll teach 'em! ? Notice how he threatens to dob me in with Zero Books.
For information.
My Iran War email this morning.
Where are the praetorian tribunes when you need them? Caligulaβs mad again.
Yep. His father was an Ashkenazi Jew from Eastern Europe.
Facts donβt care for your feelings.
So is the UK now fighting side by side with Israel and America, those two bastions of paedophilia?
Really? Great. And have we declared war on Iran? No need, you say? The UN will turn a blind eye? Fantastic.
Bombs away, chaps.
And after three Ukrainian rent boys mysteriously set fire to a property belonging to Keir Starmer, RAF jets are bombing Iran. Make that make sense.
Thank you. It's just an early draft, before I sprinkle my magic dust all over it.
Unfortunately, the unimaginative gatekeepers who control the UK publishing industry find my work boring and uncommercial.
We're in 1936 now, and Jesse Owens has won his gold medals at the Berlin Olympics.

So, let me get this straight. A Jewish paedophile, with links to Mossad, runs a honey trap aimed at ensnaring politicians and rich businessmen, and even though heβs dead the senile president of the USA embarks on a war in the Middle East to distract people from his involvement in said honey trap?
Well she did get one element right. I am a communist.
Itβs a complete waste of time sending work to literary agents. If I submitted to 1000 of them Iβd get 1000 rejections, so why bother?
Best insult I received from one of the salty gammons was that I was a βNazi Communistβ. That made me laugh.
I predicted the Green victory so have been trolling the Labour Party and Reform supporters.
Hours of fun.
BTW I will get round to reading your book, which I know will be brill, it's just that I have no money now I'm retired.
I might ask my local library to order a copy, since that strategy worked well at Durham library when I was keen to read Stu Hennigan's book Ghost Signs, about the pandemic.
In fact, it's pure Team America, Mic. "Dirka, dirka" and all that. Not to teach granny to suck eggs, if I was writing about the current situation, that's the angle I'd take.
Itβs the βthey all look and sound the sameβ argument I guess. I remember the fatwa on Rushdie very well.
www.goodreads.com/author/show/... My Goodreads profile. You probably won't be interested because I'm not middle class, but here it is anyway.
Hobnobbing today with the middle class at the Tees Valley Roadshow at the Forum in Darlington.
Fortunately I managed to survive unscathed.
They unveiled a new scheme for writers like me living in the Tees Valley.
Another rejection to add to the list, eh!
Itβs free so thatβs ok.
Total cognitive dissonance.
Ulysses has that too.
