A Free Lunch [Some words from Liar's Kingdom]
Some words from the middle of Liar's Kingdom - about 22 pages further on in the manuscript. I always have a "bolt-hole" manuscript, for when the main project isn't going well. Liar's Kingdom is now performing this function for Prospero Vint. I've put this with the early parts of LK which I posted on here nearly 10 years ago Image is PD from Wikipedia

A slice of history, almost 40 years ago. I was in uniform then, Air Force blue, but admired those at Faslane and Greenham. Futile in the end, but what days of innocence and belief.

Jack.

A splendid depiction of ourselves as a parasitic blight on Gaia itself. Skilfully done and with possibly the first use of 'Agrestal' I've ever seen in a poem.

is that our armed forces are not up to contributing to a coalition force at the same level as that which went to Iraq. Or indeed to Afghanistan. This is fine. Limiting defence spending to sufficient to defend the realm is sensible. Just don't...

Why not share and/or retweet if you like it too, dear readers?

Really splendid writing, Ed.

Excellent.

Well done.
