I asked an expat in their 40s if Dubai felt like the future, as so many of the AI-written LinkedIn profiles claim.
“Fuck, no. It feels like the past, due to the regressive attitudes, the anachronistic theocratic monarchs, the abundant racism, the homophobia, and the sexism.”

“If the Liz Truss Show is the “home of the counter-revolution” then the British establishment can rest easy. Truss’s opening monologue is delivered with all the verve and passion of a minimum wage hotel worker explaining at check-in where breakfast is served and how to find the elevators.”
Why are we funding pathetic, vengeful Liz Truss to lie about Britain?
The failed PM gets £115,000 of taxpayer money per year to spread poison about the UK on her new online show

Last year Sky News was rending its garments over Starmer's free eyeglasses: WHAT INFLUENCE DID LORD ALLI BUY?
Now, RefUK get £9m from a crypto bro, they have not one word about the donor's interests; just BRAVO NIGEL, barely concealed glee, and "what a huge boost... money goes where momentum is". 🤡

Thanks to all who have reposted this thread to help get the word out. The selling of these books "as new" on Amazon is making it more difficult for Unbound authors to rebuild what we lost and move on.
Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.
