A nice review from Lisa Hamer for #choiceofdarkness
'a fascinating read, the research in this book really comes through....I couldn’t put it down, I love reading true crime and although it’s listed as historical fiction it reads more factual than not.'

Violent crime with injury is down in every London borough thanks to the collective efforts of the police and London's Violence Reduction Unit.
But one death or one crime is one too many - so we’ll keep working with partners and the government to drive down crime and make London safer for everyone.

A four star review of Choice of Darkness from Lady J Reads www.instagram.com/lady_j_reads/
'I could almost see Henry slipping from the detective's hands time and time again.
Will Frank ever find enough evidence?
Will he ever get his redemption?'

In 1978, Pillsbury Company sued SCREW for $50 MILLION for trademark dilution for comic strips depicting the Pillsbury Doughboy banging the bound-and-gagged Doughgirl, culminating in a yeast infection.
We won, and the legal precedent for explicit parody was established. You're welcome, Axel Braun! 😜

Femen and Pussy Riot are the natural inheritors of the outrage with which the suffragettes were greeted - by both conservative society and the staid 'constitutional' suffragists. They have dared to make a feminism which is more public and more defiant than what has gone before.

Reform was a puffed-up media bubble, like the SDP in the early 80s. As soon as the Falklands War came along, the SDP disappeared from political conversation though it had been vaunted as a supposed third force, taking votes from both sides.
Reform UK's tsunami has ended, leaving behind nothing but a puddle of empty rhetoric #ukpolitics

For half a century, Tony Benn was Britain’s leading radical, defying the leadership of the Labour Party and staking out the moral high ground.
