I love deleting things.

Flushing all my tweets. I enjoy when the online aftermath gets click-wiped away, like digital crumbs. Who said what? Who was in the right, and who was talking nonsense?

...who cares?

That's what it all comes down to in the end: so what?

Delete.

This is particularly true when it comes to politics, Brexit, and the so-called culture wars, because the thing is, does anyone really have the first clue who was right and who was wrong?

Was I right? Maybe sometimes, maybe not ever, maybe it doesn't matter.

But... for around three and a half years, I was an active participant in those culture wars. So while deletion is satisfying, this book is a compilation and archive of my writing during that period.

Topics covered are those that were laying waste to everyone's sanity at the time:

Brexit

Trump

Terrorism

Free speech

Censorship

Social media

Identity politics

Political correctness

The rise of wokeness

Pious celebrities

Media bias

...and all the rest of it.

It was chaos. So here is a collection to preserve one small section of the storm. The view from a tiny online corner, of the digital derangement one couldn't help, for a time, but be washed along with.

This title and over 1 million more available with Kindle Unlimited.
