Welcome to Litsy!

For everyone protesting tomorrow please be safe, please be smart, please keep your eyes peeled and aware of your surroundings. I know I'm not the only person hearing rumors of agitators and disruptors
...dont let them scare you into sitting out. Signs are done a we are ready

I love this version of Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose." It's on repeat this week.

Book no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.

This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience

Starting a bit of non fiction... Not expecting any new revelations I wasn't aware of but sure having it synthesised into one place is going to get me #raging

Part of my #10beforetheend list so I may be a little early but wanting some non fiction on #kindle today, as it is so dark and dreary here today.

Cor, I‘m kinda addicted to memoir audios at the moment! 😂 (This is my 7th so far this year!!) But this was utterly fascinating. A real fly on the wall look into life in parliament.

Essential reading to help correct the nonsense spouted by mainstream media and those with power.

I swear, the TV show "Yes Minister" might as well have been a documentary.

I'm starting to understand why the country is in the state it is:

"The whips had apparently been told to exclude anyone with an interest in a subject for fear that they would ask awkward questions. They preferred non-specialist MPs, who spent the committees looking at their phones or catching up on correspondence. For the same reason it seemed doctors were not allowed on the health legislation committee."

Why Rory Stewart turned to politics. He watched politicians completely destroy what he and others had worked for in (and with) Afghanistan. He is not mincing his words. And we're only on page 15.

I figured this book would be mainly about the Brexit years onward, but we're starting with Iraq and Afghanistan before Rory Stewart even became a politician, and it is even more entertaining than I expected!
