Cult Author Piñata
As Mr. Grasso pointed out in an email today, everything for me has recently seemed: ‘fine and rosy (if a bit middle class...)’. However, there are no roses when it comes to libel lawyers and there is nothing middle class about having to fight with the Home Office to get restrictions preventing you from leaving the country lifted.
I have spent more than six hours on assorted tubes and trains today. I almost got into a fistfight with a drunk on a bus this afternoon. My ribs feel as if someone has been dropping bricks on them. I am weary, pissed off and ready to spit electric venom expletives at anyone who wants to play cult author piñata.

Just like archaeology, To uncover the truth one must dig through many layers of shit. This isn't always the paperwork or the lies, in can sometimes be the world turning against you. The greatest challenge is waking the next day and fighting harder against the tide.
Thank you. Waking up to fight again and to push even harder has been nigh on impossible some days with this book. However, I have always been a more guns of Brixton than a come quietly man.
My favourite use of the phrase ‘just like archaeology’ remains: ‘Shaving is just like archaeology’. I remember that line every time in my life I have stupidly grown a beard and have begun the potentially painful process of unearthing my own face through use of scissors and multiple razors. Possibly I should try to remember you line if I am ever tempted to work on this sort of book ever again.
What are you working on the moment? I'm new to the site having only just read secrets and lies, I also read Conspiracy files a little while ago. I understand from your blog your no longer focussing on the conspiracy stuff, and knowing you have previous worked on other material, I'm curious as to which direction your traveling in now. Hope the pinata has stopped.
