In June 1934 the British Union of Fascists - the Blackshirts - staged a rally at the Olympia in London. One protestor after another was singled out and beaten up by the crowd. Here's how Ronald Blythe described it.

Description of the BUF Olympia rally, at which a series of hecklers were violently attacked by Blackshirts. The sadism, Blythe writes, reached "an erotic intensity".

Stanley Baldwin's private secretary expressed shock and dismay: "It was a deeply shocking scene for an Englishman to see in London."

Fantasy and SF and Horror are chock full of a simple message: The quick route leads to corruption and damnation, even (especially?) when started with good intentions. The Dark Side. Chaos. The One Ring. The Shadows. 3 Wishes Monkey Paw Faustian deals That is AI / LLMs.

People should be able to tell the difference between "Good Books" and "Fun Reads". There are many books that are objectively NOT Good Books, but they're Fun Reads, and there are many books that are NOT Fun Reads, but are very Good Books They're not mutually exclusive, but they're different criteria

Maybe try a £500m investment in creators instead? Just a thought. £20k each to 25,000 people. Or £10k to 50,000, I’m not fussy.

The delight that is having a trailer for your latest book. I’d love people to give it a look - it was great fun to write and I’ve had several people tell me it was fun to read, too! youtu.be/_CaP7Sy9XVo?...
