‘Wimhurst’s skill—ability to bridge ordinary + extraordinary + so use lens of fantasy to magnify reality+ point to issues far too frequently elided from literary consideration.’ Thanks @edbedi @indie_pendent 4 kind review of Let Them Float @thealienbuddha.
indiependent.co.uk
The stories in Let Them Float are not neat parables, instead they come obliquely, sidestepping cynicism and so are all the more effective.

My brother recently did a DNA test. We look ‘English’ in a way Steve would like but it seems we are 40% + European (Eastern + Portuguese) Jew and some Finnish plus Irish. No such things as a non immigrant to uk.
Immigrants seethe when you say they're not English because the rejection kills them inside. They're desperate to be accepted but know they never will be.

How many millions would it cost? And sending UK prisoners to a prison where prisoners are physically beaten up, tortured, denied access to necessary medication etc. Just to placate the ppl who love to see POC cruelly treated. You think white ppl or just POC will be sent?.
Nigel is the only political leader bold enough to do what it takes to turn this great country around. Weak-kneed cowards got us into this mess. Courageous leaders will get us out. 🇬🇧

You mean like pensioners?.
Keir Starmer says those who "pay in" to the system should get the vote. Should we take it away from adults who don't work or pay tax?.
