All Her Secrets…!
The brilliant new suspense novel by my ultra talented sister-in-law Jane Shemilt is finally here…
I think it’s her best yet and it’s a great holiday read - though beware - you will not be able to put it down once you start!!

This guy is ####### awesome

Didn’t expect to find a book about Maggie Thatcher, the IRA & the Brighton Bombing very interesting - but I just couldn’t put this one down!
It reads as a brilliantly written suspense novel, but is a true - and absolutely fascinating story

In The Observer this week I talked about the marriage young people now have with the state theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Loved watching ‘Beef’ on Netflix in which a petty road rage incident spirals out of control and destroys the lives of the protagonists - Apparently season two will feature Rhonda Satan and Disney.
Get the popcorn ready!

1/4 Not sure who this may help or bring comfort to, but I wanted to share this: In July 2018 outside a Sacramento, California, DMV office, I met Tyré Nichols. He had been waiting 6+ hours in miserable 98-degree heat...

Christmas tree in Kyiv: 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Every year, since 2014, when Christmas tree was installed for the first time on Saint Sofia square, it was getting more and more beautiful, as Ukraine was. Russia couldn't stand it. But Ukraine will survive, win and lit up again

Merry Christmas everybody… and Slava Ukraini!

Well this is awkward… They still haven’t called Eve Myles about the forthcoming Torchwood reboot…
But what a LOVELY message from you Eve! We hope to see you again soon…

There’s nothing that beats hearing from someone who was “in the room where it happened” if you want to get some proper perspective…

BARBARIAN!
Such a great movie! and I normally don’t even like horror…
So good to finally get to watch some really fun, clever, suspenseful, ‘hide behind the sofa’ entertainment after wading through so much trash lately…

Doesn’t this sound an alarm?

The perfect antidote to Netflix’s toxic turd of a movie : Marilyn singing ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ celebrating the burning of the Crimea occupation bridge on Putler’s birthday #SlavaUkraine

#NetflixBlonde : A Disgustingly Exploitative Piece of TRASH
It’s disgraceful that a film so shockingly disrespectful and gratuitously voyeuristic should EVER have been made
The JFK scene is the most grotesque pornography I HAVE EVER SEEN

Dubrovnik, Croatia - alias Kings Landing, Hrvatska…
This stunning city is now fully restored to its former glory. You would never guess what it went through in 1991
The devastation was immense, as attested by the amazing exhibit at Imperial Fortress that sits above the city

Dubrovnik Croatia - Scene of Game of Thrones and also of a vicious genocidal war launched by Serbian fascists in 1991
The same appalling destruction is being visited upon Ukraine right now by Russian fascism.
Russia will lose just as Serbia did.

Absolutely Fantastic News!
Whilst the world’s attention has been focused elsewhere…
A Stunning Victory by Ukraine!

Heartwarming footage from Ukraine.

An elderly woman freezes when she sees a soldier by her house as she thinks he’s from the Russian Army.

The Ukrainian soldier says “it’s our guys coming” and she gives him a long hug.

This is how liberation after 6 months looks like.
