A word to the wise, I've just been threatened with the closure of my Facebook account because it doesn't meet their 'Community Standards'. All I do on FB is publish information about my books plus articles which have already been published elsewhere. I've appealed, so let's see what happens.

Ah yes... Lord "Ha Ha" that famous Nazi sympathiser.
If I remember correctly, he was the chap who put all those fiendish ditches in at stately homes.

A possible present if you're celebrating Kings' Day aka Epiphany in a nominally Catholic country. Sex plus suspense and feminism versus sexism. Among other things.

Tommy Robinson got kicked out of a pub in Bedford and threw a massive tantrum.
Not everyone supports teeny tiny tommy 10 names. Great to see him being barred from this pub.Kudos to the landlord. But sad to say followers of rancid robinson have been posting horrendous reviews about the pub. Something should be done about this.
