Dear Chick and everyone


our guest author Lorrie Moore has a double booking now on 27 May and I need to

start the recording earlier. Are you and your friends able to arrive at

Broadcasting House at 5pm ?


Sorry for any inconvenience but this is out of my hands.


Can you let me know as soon as you can?


Many thanks

Hi there,


I've also just moved to the area and really keen to join a Book Club. Unfortunately I'm away on holiday until 3rd July, so will miss the next session in July.


Is there a date and book planned for August - assuming that i'm permitted to join of course!


Thanks,

JB

send an email address and I will put you on the list. You are more than welcome.

Dear Book clubbers,


I invited Michel Faber to our meeting but sadly he cant come. He did send this though:


Dear Chick,


I don't mind you asking at all, and please send my best wishes to everyone at the book club and tell them that I would have loved to be there. On Wednesday I am actually booked to attend a Canongate event in Ladbroke Grove but I think it's highly likely I will have to cancel this at the last minute.


So maybe I should have asked before.


Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.


Chick

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to the last meeting, I hope you all enjoyed the evening.


The next meeting is Wednesday 6th August and the next book is Woman on the edge of time by Marge Piercy.

See you all then.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
