I’m not naive enough to think I could spin the world on its axis, and allow people to live as they should, in peace, and at peace with the natural world (See How I avoided a cliche there!) But, I would like to be a part of the machine that makes it happen, that is… Read more

Ok then this is the big one. I’ve been waiting for this prompt to come round. This is a short story I wrote, at the time the Conservative Party were last in power here in the UK, and were trying to claw back money lost in the pandemic. It was the budget and I watched… Read more
