On Society
This page collects my thoughts about society. I like to look under the carpet at the ‘stuff’ we pretend isn't there. I’m not prolific (i.e. annoying). I prefer to be the sort of person people say - they don’t write a lot but what they do write is worth reading.

I got quite excited, as you do, when you think you’ve changed the world (at least a tiny part of the world).
Why the Public Lending Right pisses me off
Briefly, the scheme exists to recognise that authors with books in public libraries will be missing revenue as people can borrow books rather than buying them. It sounds great in theory but how the scheme is run, well ... it pisses me off!
