@Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner A man I loathe is that Horrible Histories wanker, he lies, he has an insane hatred obsession for Florence Nightingale, and he boasts about being very nasty to a wee boy who wrote him a fan letter, he was slavering with rabid nastiness. He's feckin weird and for me is all 🚩 🚩 🚩

@FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner Don't forget putting the author of Harry Potter in stocks, doubt that helps.
But yes, sleb books written by someone else in a lazy attempt to mimic Dahl, results in garbage fiction. Kids have more taste than you think. -

@HebrideanHecate @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner Perhaps libraries need a cultural boost.
Bring in more drag queens. That will solve it. -

@KeepTakingTheSoma @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner He's even had a go at Lucy, he is a walking ball of hate and spite and jealousy.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner I remember him in an interview gloating about how he had trashed a child who had written him a fan letter, he was slavering with it, because the child had somehow offended him by talking about how he hoped to go to university and all that as well, and how much he loved his books, he shredded him, he's very very inverted snob re education, and thought himself the big man for it.

@HebrideanHecate @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner I love my am dram so any excuse to dress up for me.
But let's be honest, this is just another *day* for teachers to do nothing useful and call it education.In conversation permalink -

@KeepTakingTheSoma @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner It's the OTT competitive parents, who as usual take it all far too seriously.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @Lady_Penelope @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner "But the thing about World Book Day is that it misses one target: the grown ups. While children are dressing up as the Wizard of Oz, the adults are reading not very much at all. Apparently four in ten people in Britain haven’t read a book in the last year. And of those who have, the books they are reading they shouldn’t – fantasy porn by Sarah J. Maas, say, or just fantasy, or Sally Rooney. Looking at the bestseller lists would actually put you off the reading habit.
So…how about dropping WBD and making reading a normal part of everyday life for absolutely everyone? You know, in a second hand bookshop you can get a Muriel Spark or Evelyn Waugh for £2.50? A paperback in Waterstone’s – say, PG Wodehouse - is about £8.99. I know, we’re all broke, but this is a retreat from the world that really is there for us all."
I would pass out if I didn't have access to books! I think himself would lie down and die.
