I'm chucking at this latest 1-star review. Which is likely from the same group I mentioned before.

For the record: I WELCOME constructive criticism. Because constructive criticism helps me get better. But when I'm getting all 5-stars or 1-stars, the latter from unverified purchases, it kinda says it all.

But "Mr M. Bell", whoever you are, in terms of my knowing more than most people in the UK, here's some facts.

1. Austerity is based on not one, not two, but three gigantic lies. We voted for austerity three separate times

2. Brexit is based entirely on lies. We voted for Brexit

3. A political party does not have an 'institutional antisemitism problem' when it amounts to less than 0.1% of a membership of half a million. Yet most of the public thinks it does.

4. The Tory manifesto is such total fiction, it should be nominated for the Booker Prize. Yet the Tories, led by someone who lies more often than Pinocchio, are well ahead in the polls.

5. Here's two links. With this awful, painful thing which I know you don't do, "Mr M. Bell", called evidence.

It's got so bad that our entire political and economic system is built on lies which the public swallow day after day. Britain hasn't become a global laughing stock by fluke. It's the consequence of decades of this... and it's still getting worse.

With regard to the group I mentioned the other day: what I find so telling about them is they're so threatened by someone telling the truth about how Britain treats the disabled, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable. My conclusion is they must hate all those groups. Delightful.

To that group, the whole thing's a joke. To the vulnerable, it's a matter of life and death - with regard to which, the haters (who include someone whose brother has autism, for God's sake) could not give a teeny, tiny shit.

I only hope none of them end up in such circumstances

Anyway, here's another link to the book. All purchases and reviews welcome - as long as, y'know, they're based on reality.

And beyond that: you know that saying about how you should judge someone by the quality of their enemies?

Depressingly, these enemies are of the lowest quality imaginable. But y'know: haters gonna hate.

*chuckling, that should say. D'oh!
