The Subtle Art of Surprise

March 13, 2023March 13, 2023 by justinleeanderson

I’ve been very bad at actually writing anything bloggy, but I’m going to start again. Honest! This one’s sort of writing advice but it’s more about storytelling than writing, I guess. I hope those of you who have read The Lost War or Carpet Diem might consider that I know how to pull off a … Read moreThe Subtle Art of Surprise

Scattered

March 25, 2020March 24, 2020 by justinleeanderson

Well this is all a bit mad, isn’t it? I thought the financial and political madness of the last 12 years was unusual and turbulent – what I’d give for a plain old Brexit or financial meltdown now! It’s been a hell of a time, hasn’t it? As I write this, we’ve just been put … Read moreScattered

December 16, 2019December 16, 2019 by justinleeanderson

I did tell you I wasn’t good at blogging, didn’t I? Well, here we are, three months after I last posted. But today I got an email from a reader asking me for some advice on writing, and I was reminded of a post I made on LinkedIn almost four years ago now. So I … Read moreA little writing advice

August 29, 2019August 29, 2019 by justinleeanderson

So here it is… No, stop, Justin. I’m not doing two Christmas song puns in August. But woo! It’s tomorrow! The Lost War will be out in the world, and everyone will finally be able to see what I’ve done with the last year of my life. Which makes today sort of odd. It’s a … Read moreIt was bookmas eve, babe…

The (not very) calm before

July 18, 2019July 18, 2019 by justinleeanderson

I’m not very good at writing blog posts. At least, I’m not very good at writing blog posts *regularly*. However, I am reliably informed it’s a *good* thing to do. So here we are. First of all, welcome to my new website. I built it myself, and while it’s not the sexiest website you’ve ever … Read moreThe (not very) calm before

@SharonGChiara @BylineTimes @peterjukes Love this quote - ‘When the public broadcaster simply reflects the prejudices of the population, rather than striving to illuminate them – and becomes a mirror rather than a lamp – it is not performing a public service.’

Isn’t it crazy how…

The Govt’s new Elections Bill permits older person’s bus passes and Oyster 60+ cards to be used as ID

But not student cards and young persons railcards

And we’re just like…

Yeah, it’s just the Tories doing some election-rigging

Cool cool.

And here’s why it’s relevant.

Starmer has gone from offering ‘Corbynism but competent’ to ‘Blairism without the charisma’.

He’s promising New Labour Mark 2. Well, New Labour Mark 1 illegally invaded a country and killed 100,000s. Would Starmer do the same?

The word ‘leftist’ is a bullshit attempt by the right to apply a word that sounds like ‘fascist’ to what used to be called left-wingers or just liberals. https://t.co/Pea7TjaIFK
