Osborne: A Shoddy Episode

Saturday, November 8th, 2014

Osborne and Cameron have demeaned the UK and made themselves a laughing stock in Europe by kicking up a crisis which was never there about money due which they will have to pay and about which the Treasury at least (Osborne) knew all along. This was presented as a bolt from the blue, which it turned out not to be, and it is now being promoted as a triumph of reduction, when it is nothing of the kind.

This is disgraceful and shows a lack of maturity in the government as well as significant disrespect for voters who are expected into buy into this spin doctor’s nonsense. It has certainly rescued Milliband in the short term, he may be geeky but he is not this stupid, and it has made Balls look fiscally credible. Both of these things would have been thought impossible a week ago.

Dear me! It reminds us of the omnishambles budget.

Purple Killing: Get It This Weekend

MY LATEST BLOCKBUSTER THRILLER IS NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE AND IN PAPERBACK! GET IT NOW.

It is written in a modern style in a scene by scene format, with punctuation which follows reading flow rather than traditional rules. This creates a compelling  narrative, easy to read and hard to put down. This book is a work of fiction, but at its heart there is a real historical cover-up. This drives the plot, but almost all the events and characters are fictional. Some characters appear also in Hitler’s First Lady, but that is a novel much more closely linked to known historical facts and the true story of a family, which appears in both books as the Benedicts. Here most of their story is fiction, as are all the modern characters within the family and in the world beyond.

About the Book

Dr. Rachael Benedict is an American historian and a best-selling author. She has a British connection through her estranged father Saul, an English thriller writer. Saul, whose parents were of Anglo-German origin, has spent much of his life plotting to expose secrets from World War Two, which are so sensitive they have been subject to an extensive cover-up lasting seventy years. As the time approaches for him to make his move to expose duplicity, murder and lies at the heart of the British State, he seeks Rachael’s help. This provokes a killing spree as parts of the security services of both Britain and the United States become engaged in the drama, with one side determined to get the secrets out and the other determined to keep them hidden.

Set equally in the United States and Britain, the narrative grips from the first page, transporting the reader to the heart of government both in Washington and London and on into the darkest corners of the secret states on each side of the Atlantic. Rachael battles forward to unearth the truth both from intrigues of the Nazi era, but also within her own family, surviving three attempts on her life, before finally achieving her goal. Not only does she expose the truth from history and from her own roots, she has to delve deep into her own emotions to find the truth about herself.
