I am a Brummie living in North Somerset who loves to write but gets distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought.
My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .
I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

That's a fascinating, sweeping summary of post-war PMs. A piece written with a good deal of authority. I guess you could say it's been quite a rollercoaster in terms of policies and personalities. We could be in for yet more radicalism at the...

Nicely executed, Ewan.
