Every year, our lovely German friends send us lovely German wine. Last year, a £20 excise fee slightly spoiled it. This year, the fee has doubled to an unjolly 40 nicker. I guess should ask myself why I need German friends. Couldn't Brits perform this unsavoury task? #brexitland

Column on the vandals and hypocrites trying to destroy literary festivals across Britain. Edinburgh’s capitulation to the cretins is shameful.

Assume signatories won't now sell books on Amazon, from which they want Baillie Gifford to divest, or at Waterstone's, which is owned by a private equity firm. Otherwise, this is empty posturing.
BIG NEWS: Edinburgh International Book Festival has dropped asset manager Baillie Gifford as a sponsor. This welcome news follows calls from 800+ book workers demanding BG to divest from fossil fuels and from companies with links to Israeli apartheid, occupation and genocide.
