The Westminster Bubble

You have to understand, the old gods still rule here in Africa.

Only those who disobeyed survived.

@philosophymeme0 @grok explain this

@RomanCabanac Can you recommend any contemporary South African authors (other than Deon Meyer)?

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@KiszelyPhilip @YouTube These are two different parties with radically different politics. It's not a split, but more like two different universes. However, Reform and the Conservatives are the real split on the right.

@Babygravy9 Like the eclipse before the Athenians retreated from Saracuse. Spoilers: It didn't end well for Athens.

@essdeewickett Do you need an agent at this stage? You've published one book already, and most books seem to sell through social media presence.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@DavidBe31099196 Shout out if you'll be in Ålesund. There are a few surviving things to see here.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@IberianMantis @BeersAndCheers4 I read Mitchell, which I can recommend. My next read will be Alexander. Then perhaps The War Nerd Iliad, simply for the lulz. I read the Fagles translation of The Odyssey, which was rewarding. Just avoid Emily Watson at all costs.

@cigarettesummer Great movie.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@NickDixon I know. I'm just trolling. I am fluent in Norwegian, and know the whole story.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@_HelenDale The 10 pct "other" are most likely Restore Britain. They are the ones to keep an eye on. It's 3 years until 2029, a ocean of time in politics.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@NickDixon Women have indeed taken over, but there are still a few decent novels getting published, often by indie publishers. Check Karl Dahl and S D Wickett as examples of readable authors.

@Obs_Rev @oldspeak_books @essdeewickett @BournbrookPress I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The storyline is engaging, and every now and then there's an absolutely brilliant line. It's also refreshingly not blatantly left-wing, yet also not really political.

@Kingbingo_ The illegal migrant (the rhino) is well integrated into the local society.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@Babygravy9 I like the cat.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@Babygravy9 No, but there is a whaler (fishing vessel that hunts whales a few months a year) based in this municipality. I buy 30 kilos of whale meat from them after each season. It tastes like reindeer meat.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@CountDankulaTV Absolutely brilliant.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@V37432258 @SydSteyerhart Only a fraction of both women and men in Norway get to do national service, which is not particularly dangerous. Also, the army gets to pick the most motivated. These women go on to university afterwards. I thetefore presume few pregnancies.

@Babygravy9 Always nice to find points of agreement with ones opponents. But this is not the Venn diagram I was looking for.

[The Westminster Bubble @AlexFletcha]

@ivodelingpole I have read 3, and have 4 left. I'd be disappointed if this isn't in every one of his books.
