I thought had the plot for my second novel nailed, but by chapter 10 I seem to have headed off into the long grass. I've turned into a pantser! Should I now be called a Plot Pant? ™️

Message to the UK Government. UK public bodies, should not be on X. Here's my last email to my MP. Do the same. Keep up the pressure. open.substack.com/pub/stevehad...

Jonathan Pie nails it. Totally, fucking brilliant as ever. Absolute must watch... ... especially you Tommy (Yaxley-Lennon) Robinson, you fucking piece of shit! youtu.be/296-WjM90jg?...

This explains EVERYTHING! open.substack.com/pub/stevehad...

Every UK public body should quit X. Their owner is trying to overthrow the UK Government. Note. I didn't vote for them - voted Green - but believe in democracy.

Brilliant as ever, and worth the read, just for this: "fuck those wily Venezuelans for very sneakily putting all their land on top of his oil. what the hell, Venezuela?"

A Government that refuses to condemn the despot commiting international war crimes, is happy to let protestors, (who've not been convicted of ANY crime), die in prison. Starmer is a fucking disgrace.

Accountability If you don't hold people accountable for their actions, guess what? They do it again. The refusal of Starmer, (and other western leaders) to condemn, outright, Trump's illegal action in Venezuela, is a green light for him to do it again. Starmer becomes complicit in whatever's next.

Two current headlines that perfectly illustrate how f*****g crazy it's got: BBC: Quoting the PM, "Only Greenland should decide its future". No sh*t Sherlock! How should anyone ever have to actually say that? EVER!

Is it just me? substack.com/@stevehaddon...

If you want to read a clear-eyed analysis of the illegal kidnapping of Maduro, Asha absolutely nails it. asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

So, when is Starmer going to kidnap Trump. The USA stole all our resources 250 years ago. And unlike Venezuela, I suspect US citizens would by cheering on British troops, all the way, as the marched into Mar-A-Lago.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Trump is going to be "running" Venezuela. I can't imagine what it feels like to be an American right now. Every time you think it can't get any worse, it gets a whole lot fucking worse. My condolences. I wish I could offer some words of hope. But no. You're fucked.

I am fucking pissed off! I was just settling in to writing the next chapter of my new novel, when... ... Venezuela! Fuck you Trump! I'm now unable to do anything other than online ranting. Fuck. Fuck! FUCK!!!

Exactly what Keir Starmer will be suggesting, anytime... ... never. Our fucking spineless PM, will stand on the sidelines. Just like he's done with the genocide in Gaza.

Because... the USA removing heads of state as always worked out so well, hasn't it? - Afghanistan? - Iraq? - Libya? All shining examples of... complete fuck ups! Is there one example of US intervention in another country that has actually been beneficial to that country? Nope!

Hey @bobmort.bsky.social I have a question about publishing. I'm just about to self-publish my first novel - and it includes song lyrics. I know you included lyrics in "And Away". So... 1) Did the music publishers respond and give permission? 2) Did they charge you? 3) If so, was it a lot?

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social I'm sorry... really. I'm sure you have better things to do - for instance: taking pictures of cats/sheep/goats/cows/horses, etc - but... I am positive this is right up your street. Commentary on rich people's crazy houses: open.substack.com/pub/rebeccam...

Xmas quiz: Which two countries have arrested Greta Thunberg? Answer: Israel and the UK. For what? Peacefully protesting - against genocide in Gaza and the treatment of Palestine Action. The UK Government is a fucking disgrace.

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social have you ever come across David Thorne? His blog 27B/6, (no - dunno if that has any meaning), is, I suspect, right up your street. i.e. completely off the wall. This post struck me as very apt: 27bslash6.com/chairs.html

Please read and repost. The UK Government has locked up Palestine Action protestors and seems prepared to let them die. But continues to support Israel's genocide in Gaza. Email your MP.

Dear PM Starmer, When Trump announces, (later today?) that he is invading Venezuela - because... WMD? - please don't do a, shit-stupid, Tony Blair. Bush couldn't be trusted because he was not the sharpest knife in the draw. But we're now dealing with a whole other level of One Flew Over The...

Israel should not be allowed to compete in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. Iceland has joined Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and the Netherlands, in pulling out because of Israel's inclusion. The BBC should do the same. Sign the petition: 38d.gs/eurovision-b...

The European response to Trump's, (racist, fascist, anti-Europe, pro-Russia - lunatic), National Security Strategy, has - for want of a better word - been pathetic. This Guardian article goes some way to explaining it, but is still pretty lame. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

YESSSSSS! Lando Norris - World Champion. That was a stressful couple of hours.

I'm sure most European leaders know they can't rely on the USA, in their stand against anti-democratic, fascist regimes. But have they realised, the USA is rapidly transforming into an anti-democratic, fascist regime. The USA is no longer an ally. Worse still, it's stepping over to the other side.

Would you really want to go to this country to support your soccer team next year? The USA is rapidly descending into a fucked up rogue state. Boycott the 2026 World Cup.

The UK needs to follow the lead of Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia, and boycott the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. Huge respect to the four countries that have the moral backbone to say: "No. Fuck you. We don't want to be associated with a genocidal, rogue state.

Jesus fucking Christ! If mega-corporations aren't bank-rolling governments, (including the current UK Labour Government), to get the policies they want, they're suing them, behind closed doors, for £billions. This is a must read.

Not sure how many people will want to see this. Those of you already sick of Trump's criming on a daily basis, may want to give this a miss. But if you, really, want a "refresher", this YouTube video from @leagaleagle.bsky.social documents all his crimes. It's brilliant. youtu.be/hybL-GJov7M?...

I've done the blurb for my debut novel. Let me know what you think... PLEASE! open.substack.com/pub/stevehad...

OMG! Some great, hilarious, posts on here, re: Trump/Mamdani. I have, literally, been laughing out loud. And doing that annoying thing: reading them out to my wife. Don't worry. She's loving it too. Keep them coming guys.

Gone from "Nah, fonts aren't important" to obsessing over them for a week. Not there yet - as there are zillions to try - but here's my latest effort. Tell me what is "says to you".

Holy fucking moly. Is the Comey case the biggest DOJ fuck up ever? That's what it looks like. Great summary on Democracy Docket.

Jonathan Pie, brilliant as ever.

This will probably come as no surprise... Michael Prescott, author, (and probably leaker), of the BBC Panorama memo - which resulted in two top execs resigning - hacked Trump's speech to make it look more favourable. James Ball explains all to James O'Brien here: youtu.be/RYPRQj0NtIU?...

This a must read.

What would you think if you saw this book cover? Yeah, I know it's amateurish. Ignore that. I'm not an artist. It's just to get across the basic idea of what the book is about. So, what do you think this book is about?

Wife: "Can you make sure I'm up early." Me: "I have a brilliant idea... set your alarm." Wife: "Yeah, I do." Me: *shrugs* Wife: "That's to remind you to get me up."

I would love to be watching the jury during this "trial"... Between Mexican Waves and playing cards, they must be rolling on the floor pissing themselves. It's going to take them all of one minute to come back with a verdict of: "The DOJ has lost their fucking minds."

Dear all sane (non-dictator) leaders of the world, When are you going to say it out loud... in public: "This man is fucking insane!"

Starmer really doesn't know when to keep his head down, does he? Why the fuck is he getting involved in the Villa/Maccabi thing? All he had to say was: "I trust West Midlands Police have assessed the situation and made , what they believe, is the correct decision."

OK... where's @jefftiedrich.bsky.social? No Substack today. And no posts on here. I hope everything is OK. 🙏

The British Government is: - complicit in genocide - abusing the Terrorism Act - attempting to curtail free speach - and arresting pensioners who peacefully protesting It's a disgrace. youtu.be/yN3oLXJ9M6g?...

Starmer has lost the fucking plot! Does he really believe giving police additional powers to restrict protests is going to work? The protesters [who let's not forget, are protesting against the Gov't trampling on free speech] already know they risk being arrested. We're governed by fascist idiots

The Truman Show vs The Trump Show Both live in a fictional world... - Truman recognises it, and sets out to find reality. - Donald has no fucking clue!
