I started writing at age 63. Now 72 I'm working with some heavyweights in the UK on an adaptation of my first book. We're making a short film as a pitch we can also show at festivals as a stand alone. No guarantees it'll go further, but it might, and the ride is awesome!

Saying it's "out-of-touch" and "middle-class" to talk about Brexit, when it has added 6% to food prices during a poverty crisis, and damaged the NHS during a pandemic... ... is probably the most "out-of-touch" and "middle-class" idea in UK politics.
