Around March/April of 1989, I published a compilation called A Book Of Limericks. The anthology is listed by Whitaker's Book List 1989 as published in April of that year, although no actual date was given.
Book is rather a strong word, as will be seen from the review published in The Pentatette, below. Although my first anthology,
A Purpose Strong And Bright,
was published as early as 1986 - a move that came as a complete surprise to me! - and I had ventured further into small publishing
since, it was meeting a local artist/cartoonist named Mike Weller which really set me off on this route. I met Mike
through
Tom Caldwell of
CCU. I won't go into any detail about our relationship as his vocation
aside, Mike is a very private person, but for a while I was a frequent visitor to his home, and on one occasion I
proudly presented his good wife with a plastic kitchen clock that I'd won in a limerick competition.
Mike's view was that people of our humble estate were not really in a position to publish books (or whatever) in any meaningful sense, so
we should strive to "generate an interest" in his words. I thought this was a splendid idea, and attacked it with
gusto. Suffice it to say that my interpretation of his words were not quite what he had in mind, and I was duly
rewarded - or unrewarded - with a total lack of success. Still, you can't kill a fella for trying, and
the review of A Book Of Limericks in a specialist journal in far off California shortly after its publication didn't exactly damage my ego.
Although A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR is dated 5th November 1988, and the official publication date was April 1989, I believe I mailed out
a few copies sometime before that. Whatever, the less said about its editor and compiler "Anna Pest" the better, ditto her previous (and only other)
publication, We're Coming For Your Telecom Shares, but for information regarding
the "birth" of T.D. Man, the interested reader is referred to the Music Section.
The pdf scan at the end of this sentence consists of the front page and page 3 of the May 1990 issue of The Pentatette; click here to download. Therezia Weller, who gets
a mention in the review, is Mike's eldest daughter; she shares her father's artistic talent, and I believe this was her very first paid commission, although that is something she would probably like to forget!
A Book Of Limericks was dedicated to Tom and Kate - ie Tom Caldwell and Kate Millson.
On February 11, 2009, I keyed in the final eleven limericks from this anthology, in strict alphabetical order.
Apart from a very few minor textual improvements - punctuation and a word here and there to improve scansion, etc - all fifty-one limericks therein - not fifty-eight
as indicated in the Arthur Deex review - have now been reproduced faithfully
on the Limerick Page. This anthology was also published on disk (with additional material) as
Limericks On-Line. Click this link for a breakdown.

An article/book review published originally in Solicitors Journal: BOOKS & COURSES supplement, October 4, 1991.
A reassessment of Al Capone; be prepared for a few surprises.
On Death Row since the early 80s, Mumia Abu-Jamal has become a virtual living saint for "radicals" and opponents of the death penalty. The story of how campaigning black journalist and social activist Abu-Jamal was framed by the racist Philadelphia Police Department for a murder he didn't commit has
been reported widely in the left press, the mainstream media, the Internet and the WorldWideWeb. The campaign to win a retrial for Abu-Jamal has been supported by media personalities such as actress Whoopie Goldberg and musician Sting, and orchestrated on three continents. Though Abu-Jamal remains on Death Row, another campaign to clear a young black man convicted of murdering a police officer was ultimately successful. In November 1991, Winston Silcott was cleared by the Court of Appeal of the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during the now notorious Broadwater Farm riot of October 1985. Silcott's unsigned so-called confession had been made up out of the whole cloth by corrupt police officers; the confessions of his co-accused were extracted by holding these none-too-bright youths incommunicado for up to twelve days. Some people might be tempted to draw comparisons between Mumia Abu-Jamal and Winston Silcott; the sad truth though is that the only thing Abu-Jamal and Silcott have in common is an inability to face up to their crimes: Abu-Jamal was convicted of the murder of officer Daniel Faulkner on overwhelming evidence, and Silcott, although framed for the murder of PC Blakelock, lingers in gaol rightly convicted of the brutal knife murder of a young boxer. This comparative study exposes the lies of the Abu-Jamal camp, the whitewashing of Silcott by Observer journalist David Rose, and the mendacity of the Metropolitan Police, a mendacity which even British judges in their ivory towers are coming increasingly to recognise.
This is a thirty-three page "non-publication" which was "Deposited in the Copyright Libraries". I finished it in January 1995, and deposited it then or thenabouts! It includes the following in order:
Anonymous
Anonymous (5) reads more like a short essay than a poem, but it is really a free verse version
of Love Song (1), which if I recall I wrote about the same time, even though it was
published in 1988.
The Cruel Mistress was subsequently published in the August 1998 issue of CHESS POST
A report on the Searchlight libel actions and the accompanying criminal trial. Includes the full text of the consent order between the author and Gerry Gable.
Exactly what it says, an excellent primer. In recent years,
schoolchildren have notoriously been bombarded with obscene, pro-
homosexual propaganda on the spurious pretext of combating bigotry and intolerance, or even of promoting sex education. This
slim pamphlet goes some way towards counteracting the lies and
hysteria of the gay "rights" lobby.
The advertisement below is from Capital Gay, June 24th, 1994, issue 650, page 19. Being a nice guy
basically and desirous of saving these poor lost souls from swirling around in cesspits of their own making,
I offered this free to this (now thankfully long defunct) newspaper's readership. If I recall, the ad ran for a
couple of issues. It received a few responses, one character wrote to the effect that he had decided to come out
and live the gay life "to the full". I don't think my freebie was quite what he was expecting!
This is the press release I sent out to advertise
this publication and the substantial pamphlet ...Organised Jewry's
Deadliest Weapon. I sold bundles of these.

A distinguished Hindu historian demolishes the claims of fraud
levelled by racists and Hinducaust Deniers against the worldwide phenomenon of drinking statutes of the god Ganesh which manifested in September 1995.
The word socialism has pleasing connotations, many people in all walks of life are proud to call themselves
socialists. Socialism will, many of them say, lead to a better and more equitable world. But what
lies behind the rhetoric of peace, love, racial and sexual equality, and the
brotherhood of man? And how much freedom would the average person, or anyone, enjoy under a
totally planned socialist society? This book takes a fresh look at socialism from a Libertarian perspective and exposes many of the fallacies, inaccuracies and outright lies which are propagated tirelessly by socialism's staunchest proponents; it explains exactly what socialism has in store for us and for future generations, and what we must do in order to eradicate it.

Over the past few years the subject of (so-called) Holocaust Denial has become a major issue in the Western media. Almost universally the men referred to pejoratively as Holocaust Deniers have been portrayed as neo-Nazis, anti-Semites, cranks, or even as agents of a sinister international conspiracy hellbent on rewriting the history of the Nazi era in order to restore the Third Reich. There are two sides to every coin though, and in this monograph, the first of its kind, the searchlight is turned on the staunchest opponents and most vociferous critics of Holocaust Deniers, the Holocaust Affirmers.
This book examines the major proponents of Holocaust Affirmation: Organised Jewry, the Organised Left, supposedly distinguished academics, self-styled skeptics, and on-line "educators", methodically and painstakingly, uncovering an international web of vested interest, intrigue, self-deception, outright lies, and at times, naked tyranny.
This book may not change your mind about Holocaust Revisionism, but it will make you realise that, contrary to the assertions of the Holocaust lobby, there is a very real debate going on here, a debate many who oppose the Revisionist movement clearly feel they are unable to win by fair means, so are determined to win by foul.

This book is the result of fourteen years ongoing research,
explodes a few myths about the Holocaust, exposes the real Holocaust liars, and mounts a vigorous defence of free inquiry and the necessity of rewriting history. Researched entirely from the public domain, this book condemns the Court Historians out of
their own mouths. Illustrated. Indexed. 179 pages.
ITMA Publications List, October 27, 1993: This modest list contained a mere fourteen publications; it would soon grow considerably larger.
This is an published review written some time in the early 90s.
A book length study, this is basically a critique of Hill's lie-ridden autobiography, covering his life from his first criminal conviction in 1962 to his last (and hopefully last ever) lie-ridden interview with a national newspaper. * Read how many of the crimes Hill and his manipulators exposed never actually happened, and how those that did were incited by Hill in the first place.
This review was written by Nick Griffin; it was published in issue 10 of The Rune, which came through my door June 3, 1995.
I cannot take credit for unearthing Ray Hill's letter of expulsion from the British Movement; I obtained this from Larry O'Hara, ditto a videotape of the film The Other Face Of Terror. I think it is fair to say this review is positively sycophantic; Griffin was my biggest fan at one point, bigger even than the man in the mirror, and that's saying something. It was with the deepest regret that I broke off all contact with him, but I have explained why I had to in some considerable depth, both to him, and later to the world. Nuff said.
And this appeal, again by Griffin, was published in issue 12 of The Rune, page 30; the magazine came through my door August 11, 1996. He really was my biggest fan, even though he got my postcode wrong. Alas...
* Not so, I'm afraid!

As the threat of a world recession looms, it is more important
than ever that the financial system be reformed.
This short
pamphlet, in the spirit of C.H. Douglas and The Duke Of Bedford,
provides the answer.
Although the hysteria over such mythical diseases as racism and sexism are traditionally the province of the extreme left, the authoritarian right is no less infamous for its doctrine of political correctness as espoused by censorship (particularly in sexual matters), imposed family values, and keeping the poor in their place. But what happens when right meets left? This novel takes a light-hearted look at this scenario.

In 1995, David Icke published a book in which he claimed that a secret cabal of bankers and fellow conspirators (the Illuminati) is planning to impose a world government, a world bank, a world army, and "a microchipped population connected to a global computer." In view of some of his other ravings it is difficult to take Icke seriously, but when one examines the evidence in the cold light of day it becomes increasingly
obvious that while Icke may be wrong about the Illuminati he is most definitely not wrong about the emergence of the total surveillance, totally planned society. In this short study the author surveys the extent to which this total surveillance already exists, the plans and schemes that are used by all manner of pressure groups to impose further restrictions on freedom, and how a bar-coded identity card will lead to the death of individual liberty and a repression more all-encompassing and more terrifying than anything that has been seen in human
history. He concludes that the framework of tyranny is already in place, and that we must act, and act now, in order to prevent the coming repression.

A documented expose of David Irving and much more. When this book was published on October 15,1994, we sent out some hundred and fifty press releases to media worldwide including the homosexual and left press, Israeli and German publications and much more. The silence was deafening.
A vigorous defence of the Chief Rabbi Emeritus who was the victim of a hate campaign by the organised homosexual movement. Documents the disgusting practices of these degenerates. Don't read this pamphlet unless you've got a strong stomach.
A large format, thoroughly referenced biography of British Nazi leader Colin Jordan. No prices for guessing the identity of the lying, scheming Jew concerned.

Hoffman wrote an excellent book on the first Zundel thought crime trial in Toronto, 1985. Since then though he
appears to have gone completely off his rocker. This pamphlet sorts the wheat from the chaff, exonerates Orthodox Judaism and lays the blame for the mendacity of Zion fairly and squarely where it
belongs.
THE MONEY QUESTION,
At a time when the world has never been richer, vast tranches of the population are trapped in a downward
spiral of poverty, unemployment and disenfranchisement. The response of governments worldwide has been to
attempt to maximise employment - the insane doctrine of jobs at any price - regardless of whether artificially
government created jobs produce wealth or destroy it. As technology becomes more and more sophisticated so
society becomes more and more polarised between the haves and the have-nots, and the poverty trap deepens. Aggravating
these very real problems is the race industry and its fellow travellers with their incessant harping on
about racism - the supposed root of all evil in this modern age - and their equally insane demands that wealth
be redistributed by some arbitrary means from white "oppressors" to the (non-white) underclass, by the institution
of racial quotas backed up by increasingly Draconian "race relations" legislation. In
this seminal study, the author tackles both these modern myths head on.
THE RACE QUESTION,
AND THE ELIMINATION
OF THE POVERTY TRAP:
Anti-Semitism, "Anti-Racism",
And The Case For Basic Income
Demolishing both the nonsense of full employment and the
ideological claptrap of racist economic oppression, he calls for the
abolition of make-work schemes and racial quotas, and the institution of a non-means tested
income payable to every citizen as a right.

In 1998 the entertainer Shirley Bassey successfully defended a
County Court action against her former PA, who had, among other
things, accused her of the heinous crime of anti-Semitism. This
is a short satire on what could have happened if things had not
gone Miss Bassey's way.
From the signing of Magna Carta in 1215 the divine right of kings to dispose of their subjects as they pleased was gradually
curtailed, and the eventual growth of Parliamentary democracy and widening franchise throughout the world restricted the power of tyrants over the people still
further. Yet leaving aside two world wars and a plethora of regional conflicts, the Twentieth Century has seen some of the most terrifying atrocities,
tyrannies and repressions ever inflicted on mankind from Stalinism, Nazism and the genocide in Rwanda to Prohibition and Draconian censorship, while in
the 1990s the emergence of "political correctness" has led to the Orwellian concept of "thought crime". How can this be if democracy really is on a roll? In this seminal study,
the author puts forward a radical new explanation in the form of the Wizard of Oz Sydrome. Lobbying by special interest groups leads to the creation of
all manner of statutory bodies which are staffed by petty sadists, bully boys and bitches who exert Power Without Accountability. A new tyrant class
has been created who on the pretext of "only doing their jobs" will enforce any law, however repressive or unjust regardless of the consequences to the
people they victimise and at times destroy. The only way to combat this evil is to rip away the mask of the Wizard of Oz and hold the tyrant class
personally culpable for their state-sanctioned misdeeds.

Leaderless Resistance
by Louis R. Beam
A substantial analysis of the cancer of homosexuality written
from a black perspective. The author, although staunchly anti-
fascist and obviously no friend of the BNP, has a great deal more
in common with most white nationalists than with the spiritually
diseased dross of the SWP.
