Amazing, a Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.
In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

Good! Damn traitors! They believe apparently that people would rather listen to fake news than the truth.
They will definitely find out what the truth is!

Thinking this had a better chance with its orig title AMERICA IS A GUN, overruled as too controversial. From a poem by the same title by wonderful poet Brian Bilston, a fave of mine. Included in the novel with Mr. Bilston's permission. Sigh. Where are all the Brian Bilston fans? bit.ly/4aG2Dlt

Come to the US. To the East Coast of the US. Specifically Pennsylvania, to Doylestown, Bucks County, PA. You can stay at my house, as long as I'm home at the time. Because, otherwise, you'd be trespassing. Think about it.
I’ve just taken delivery of this rather smashing proof copy of my next book: How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside.
I’ll be heading off on a UK tour with the book this autumn. A full list of where I’ll be this year is here: brianbilston.com/events/
Hope to see some of you later in the year.
