Ja, that's John van der Ruit. I'm Tom Eaton. I'm a different person.
I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else.
The white right and its sturmpodcasters claim that white people are disappearing because of a Great Replacement and 'white genocide'. For them, the truth behind the numbers is far too horrific to contemplate. My latest, free to read. anotherdayinparadisewithtomeaton.substack.com/p/the-curiou...

Hello Bethany! I'm delighted that you're enjoying it.
Packing my winter woolies for a reportedly chilly Joburg and looking forward to tomorrow night's launch of 'An Act of Murder'. If you're near Sandton, pull through to Exclusive Books at sixish and come and say hello.
Johannesburg! Arnold Prinsloo is coming home as we launch ‘An Act of Murder’ next Thursday in Sandton*, and it would be grand to see you there. I'll be chatting to the excellent Michelle Constant, so both you and I will be in safe hands.

* OK technically Arnold lives in Melville but close enough...
I know they appreciate it greatly.
