The Voice of Reason: Beryl Bainbridge Booker

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Beryl Bainbridge Booker

http://www.thebookseller.com/news/booker-foundation-launches-beryl-bainbridge-prize.html

I thought I had some of her books but just checked my shelves and found none. Even if I had them I wouldn't actually remember which one I liked best. But good news all the same. I remembered them as being funny.

I did not meet Beryl Bainbridge but have met A N Wislon. Charming man.

About Me

Claire Khaw: I am a Secular Koranist promoting Secular Koranism as a political reformer to restore the patriarchy and by extension good government. If I am successful, this will result in Westerners finally having governments that govern in the national interest with a moral system at least effective in maintaining minimum standards of sexual morality ie ensuring that most parents in society are married parents. Only then would the West be a patriarchy because only such a society would produce enough masculine principled men capable of defending the national interest. Otherwise, the West, now a matriarchy, would continue sliding into degeneracy, chaos and criminality. It is already obvious that no senior male politician dares criticise the morals of unmarried mothers because of what happened to Keith Joseph in 1974 after his Edgbaston speech, when Britain became a matriarchy. He was one of the few politicians of the old school who spoke the truth and paid for it with his career. Because of what happened to Joseph, no senior male politician now dares speak the truth. The unacknowledged trauma caused to senior male politicians of the West must first be acknowledged before it can be addressed.

these lads were stupid enough to write their worst views all over their bodies and get themselves photographed. the beliefs are rife - my old campus had tories spreading white pride propaganda on FB, 'liking' pages run by Claire Khaw, expelled from the BNP for advocating eugenics

Claire Khaw, ennobled and raised to Baroness Khaw in 2029 by King Charles. Motivation: for tirelessly combating the matriarchy and for having a key role in the social transformation of Britain into an idiosyncratic "theocracy". Lovely, Claire!

Followers, Claire Khaw on twitter is a chronic racist and is busy trolling me and others over this Rochdale case. Just to be aware.

Claire is a special kind of troll.https://t.co/fh889vEUM6
— Double A (@Dracalous) June 9, 2018

Claire Khaw genuinely lacks empathy and emotion but isn’t actually a psychopath unlike the Gareth troll factory. Safe to say she’s on the spectrum somewhere. Mobbing and jeering at her is an exercise in virtue signalling.
— Mike Maloney max unleashed (@Staddon_sister) June 11, 2018

I know Claire. I like her. She is opinionated, quite bright. And may harbor some ((positions)) I would disavow. Not too sure. But she is never ugly nor vicious. She enjoys the (benefit) of the doubt.
