"I'm a writer, I scribble out of compulsion, protest out of hope, and drink to stay sane."

Welcome to my site. I'd like this space to reflect the kind of work I do as well as giving you an idea about who I am.

I live by the mantra that all it takes for evil to thrive is that good men sit on the sofa whingeing about speed cameras.

So I've linked to some great protest organisations and charities that need your support - why not take a look? Meanwhile, If you consider Iraqui civilians 'collataral damage' or that global warming is (hehe) a faster way to get a tan, please feel free to google 'Richard Littlejohn'. To everyone else, peace, and thanks for your visit.

'Lauren Booth is the greatest wit of this century, a woman whose talents span not merely genre but continents (and incontinents). I stand in her shadow, which is slight, since she is very skinny in real life'. Victor Lewis Smith, June 2007, Critic and evil genius with the Evening Standard.

'Lauren is one funky Mamma!' Myleene Klass, December 2006

'Lauren has made politics personal and personable....she has been instrumental in popularising the campaign against him (Tony Blair).One appearance on Have I Got News for You had more impact than several well-researched articles by Westminster hacks. Her Channel 5 stints at Labour party conferences set a caustic tone a million miles removed from the one the spin doctors aimed for. Those tabloid articles.... spread the anti-Blair mood from the Palace of Westminster to the sitting rooms of ordinary people well before the Iraq war protesters did'.Cristina Odone, Sunday November 12, 2006, The Observer
