Singing against racism

Traitors (Mix A)

We came as strangers, no rights, no rewards.
We held up this country, straight after the wars.

Chorus
The media deplore us, lies and hate haunt us.
We are traitors, we are traitors to the pure.
The media deplore us, racism taunts us.
We are traitors, we are traitors to the pure.

Death threats on white paper, murder in the streets.
Enemies of the people, making Britain great.

The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman

Another cracking romp for the team. Lots of character discovery about people we thought we already knew. And a marvellously convoluted plot. Just too easy and quick to read. What to read next?

When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson
Rate this book
Clear rating
Atkinson is such a good writer. Big themes, small details. Phrasing. Timing. The weight of words. This is a great book, and I want to read more Jackson Brodie stuff.

This new series is a sparkling diamond in a world that's lost its shine. There's hope in here, as well as time travel, and good modern detective work, and of course twists and turns, and the unexpected. Griffiths' writing is just so readable, so easy ...more

Declan Miller is one of my favourite fictional cops. This third in the series once again has laugh out loud moments, moments of mind-stopping seriousness, and more twists than a corkscrew. Fantastic stuff.

I learned so much reading this. There are so many misconceptions about ancient Rome. Interesting also to see Caesar's assassination achieved nothing. Reveals how history is always written by the victors. Read this! ...more

The Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is where madness becomes lucidity, and every sentence makes sense, and makes a continuous narrative of travel and history and self-contemplation. Sebald is a miraculous writer.
