A true classic and the inspiration behind my modern Gothic, THE SHRUNKEN MAN

Most important and must read book for all who want to understand British popular culture during this period.

This book couldn't be more timely and is THE seminal text of the moment on the media framing of asylum and race issues. An outstanding piece of accessible scholarship. Simply brilliant.

Very timely in view of subsequent events, from Jeffrey Epstein through to the role of Russian Oligarch money in the final destruction of British democracy, the war in Ukraine and a whole lot more. A must read in our present disturbing times.

Ballard's greatest novel and the 1984 of our time depicting fascism as a consumerist brand and predicting the rise of dangerous media demagogues like Piers Morgan precisely.

Interesting follow up to Penrose's seminal book on the Wilson plots it nonetheless omits how the subsequent honey-trap of pedophile Cyril Smith also played into the downfall of Callaghan's government and rise of Margaret Thatcher.

Useful background to the plots against Harold Wilson but was published before BOSS were ALSO complicit in the murder of Olof Palme in Sweden.

Excellent background to the premeditated murder of Stephen Cameron by one of the most notorious gangsters of our time. Perhaps the only part of the jigsaw missing is how the favors owed to corrupt police, involved in Brinks Mat, over Tucker-Tate, Stephen Lawrence and Stephen Cameron, found him arranging the murder of Jill Dando to bury investigations into a Deep State pedophile ring. As part of this murky trade off Noye served a sentence for manslaughter for what was in fact premeditated murder in an open prison in Gloucester from which he could still run his criminal empire. Likely as not, Noye was behind the killing of John Goldfinger Palmer as well, as implied in my soon to be published novel and trilogy because Palmer was planning to blackmail VIP pedophiles and Paul Blanchard's claims to the contrary are another red herring in the barrel.

The original article was important when it appeared in Buzzfeed but the book is dynamite, well researched and presented. What needs to be done, now, is to connect these murders, covered up by cops and politicians, to the dirty Russian money that pumped through Britain's offshore banking network, further corrupted an already corrupt political elite, paid for BREXIT and Johnson's election and made the genocide in Ukraine possible. Anyone who thinks the UK government opposes Putin's Oligarch base and is leading the fight in support of Ukraine needs to read this important book and take a reality check. Absolutely first rate investigative journalism.
