For the most part, book publishing has gone down the woke tube and is terminally ill.
A few years ago Penguin almost cancelled its publication of Jordan Peterson’s “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules to Life” due to the hysterical reaction from its staff to publishing this supposed “bigot”. Peterson’s “offence” is that he is an eminently sensible academic who fiercely opposes the woke take on life and slaughtered dimmo Kathy Newman in a memorable car crash (for Kathy) interview. Penguin didn’t cancel probably because they knew they would lose a lot of money.
It’s worse in America. Random House stopped publishing Dr. Seuss due to alleged racism that was “found” in them – after not being “found” in the previous 50 years. Random House also cancelled Richard Cohen’s “The History Makers”, a book about famous historians of the past 2500 years, because Cohen did not include enough black historians (no doubt because there aren’t many).
Simon & Schuster is also in trouble with its employees for signing a two-book deal with former Vice-President Mike Pence. Since they believe that Pence”s opinions are not as valid as theirs, shutting down a leading Republican is, in their view, a public service to society.
This trend has hit the UK. Recently a group of trans nut jobs wrote a letter to The Bookseller demanding the censoring of books that it deems unfavourable to the tranny cause – books like The Bible, Shakespeare, Dickens and the entire Western literary cannon.
Another bunch of tranny nutters called “Pride in Publishing” say that trans employees mental health is put at risk through having to work on JK Rowling’s books –
“Let’s clarify what free speech is and is not. Free speech does not entitle an author to a publishing contract. But it does protect the right of a worker to raise the alarm when they’re asked to participate in something that can cause them or someone else harm or trauma. Transphobic authors are not a protected group. Trans and non-binary people are.”
Bollocks. The job of publishing has always been to publish and be damned. Publishers are meant to keep free speech alive by publishing different viewpoints widely and freely. It’s a very important function in a free society. It seems that to work in publishing now, the biggest qualification is to be a censor intent on stifling free speech.
The quality of hardback books is shite as well.

You forgot to mention the “George Floyd’s 100 banana sandwich ideas” cook book.

Indeed-a perfect (dark-key) stocking filler👍
* boom-tish!!!

My book titles wouldn’t stand a chance.
‘Islam, what a pile of shite’ and
‘Slavery, a job for life’
The thing with books, if you don’t want to read them, then don’t, if you work for a publisher and you aren’t happy then fucking leave.
All this cancel nonsense needs to be stamped out, it may cause offence 😂
24
Ive started publishing my own stuff.
Far Right Publishing ltd©
Because of this bedwetter shite.
My best sellers are funnily enough kids books!
“Wheres winky?” Is a visual picture book where in a busy picture you find winky a flasher,
With his tackle out.
Also another version where they have to find Hitler at the Nuremberg rally called “seek heil!”
My colouring book “little national socialist book of fun”
Is a good seller and comes with crayons, all colours exept black.
And in the adults the highest polling is ‘how to breach employment law & discrimination for the new millennium”.
And a romance type book “when Aryan met Sally”.

Lovely stuff (©️Alan Patridge)

Thing is people don’t read books just because they are published they read books that interest them.
If publishers won’t publish books people want to read then someone else will. There’s a big movement with US conservative movement for people to fill the void left by woke refusal to supply need.
It’s an ongoing fight but a vital one. As parlour found out when you do this the woke nazis will use every weapon to deny you a route to market.
We all need to support those who make a stand and try and provide an alternative to the woke media.
13
If I can’t get the books I want to read then they think I will read whatever is available i.e the shit they approve of. I can tell the cunts right now that it doesn’t work that way. I have no interest in the shit they’re pushing and wouldn’t use it to light a bonfire.
10
These fools disappear up their own arses simply because the point of view they seek to promote cannot be defended in a logical manner.
I enjoy watching Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro dismantle those fools who are sufficiently deluded to think that they can argue with those two brilliant minds.
19
Have seen Shapiro occasionally make a plonker of himself. Smart but a bit of a cunt. Jordan Peterson: I’ve never seen him be a cunt with anyone, he’ll have a whole panel of dishonest cunts twisting and rephrasing what he’s said and he manages to take them all down, but have never seen him lose it. I’d be screaming at them what cunts they are…
The Helen Lewis interview for GQ is hilarious. It’s billed as some sort of meeting of minds from opposite sides. She “grills” him in exactly the same way as Kathy Newman and makes a right twat of herself.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Money talks and you’re not going to sell many books to wokies, other than the odd vegan cookbook. They much prefer screens to the printed page. Remember the Deacon kid at school who could barely read his own name? That’s the wokies these days.
17
Only liars opt for censorship. Rather than hold dialogue and allow people to make up their own mind when presented with information, they prefer to ensure only the information they want reaches you in the first place.
That’s called having an agenda, you two-faced two-genitals cunts!
Online, offline, the woke crowd is being used as a tool to push the deeper agenda of a third-party. Perfect weapon, because you can’t criticize them due to their sexual identity bollocks. If anyone else tried it wouldn’t even leave the runway.
15
They certainly are a vile bunch of collaborators with the commies in the main.
Any agenda that subverts freedom of expression is poison.
This ongoing saga of left wing propaganda is simply vile.
It deserves to be forcefully eradicated.
7
Would that involve use of an oven by any chance Unkle?
I certainly fucking hope so.

I note that the complaints in the nom only mention rightwing authors slated for being rightwing authors, including Richard Pipes, one of the nastiest neocon dual-allegiance cunts to infest Dubya’s court. While I fully agree his point of view is as eligible for publication as anyone else’s, I would like to restore the balance with a well-known leftwinger.:
I don’t expect The Woke will immediately put crayon to paper and make a fuss about Friedrich Engels. Who really didn’t check his privilege :
In 1887, Paul Lafargue, who was Marx’s son-in-law, was a candidate for a council seat in a Paris district that contained a zoo. Engels claimed that Lafargue had “one-eighth or one-twelfth n—– blood.”
In a letter to Lafargue’s wife, Engels wrote,
“Being in his quality as a n—–, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.”
Quotation from Fr John Peck website, but the idea is explored better here:
http://freenations.net/racist-language-time-to-ban-marx-and-engels/
Trouble is there were very few snowflakes around in the 19th century, and these were commonly held and completely unexceptionable opinions then. So finding racism there is like shooting fish in a barrel; it’s a given, just as eating white missionaries may have been.
Our culture until very recently embraced freedom of speech. On that basis cunts like the New Woke could say what they like. If they want to deny that, not only to present-day opponents, but past and future ones, then some of us might be justified in thinking the old rules no longer apply, and indulging in some cancellation of our own. This is a very dangerous time.
15
Funny about how you never hear about these views expressed by Marx and Engels.
9
Books are shit.
I’d ban them.
8
Big piles of burning books is soon to come to a street corner near you. It seems I’ve seen that image before and it wasn’t that long ago…
10
As soon as cunts started having a go at Rowling unit, I DID wonder how long before they start burning her books in public.
The irony of it…

Bloody predictive…

I look forward to great 19th Century Works of African Literature as a University course. Make no mistake, the fucker is coming.
12
It will be a weeks course, cheap to do, and will only require you to read a pamphlet. Sorted.
10
And even that pamphlet had to be dictated to a missionary. No paper, no pens, no literacy…
5
When I want a laugh I put on Peterson and Kathy Newman. What total fuckwit Newman is.
13
So… what you’re saying is all women are fuckwits?
6
Subtle Herman. I think you can assume we all recognise irony on here.
4
I’ve watched that particular interview a couple of times and Newman is so far out of her depth it’s embarrassing.
I remember Newman and the odious and self proclaimed Muslim feminist lefty liberal Yasmin Alibaba Brown both being total cunts to Rod Liddle in a terrible interview/debate a number of years ago.
Liddle had recently had a book published which obviously didnt suit the Channel 4 agenda so these pair of loathsome bitches attempted in vain to smear Mr Liddle as the usual far right racist islamophobe type.
What else would you expect from Channel 4
10
The one with Rod Liddle is funny.
To Newman
“No, I think Yasmin has got the wrong end of the stick…. As usual.”

“Let’s clarify what free speech is and is not.”
What is it with these cunts always defining what “free speech” is? The definition always ends up sounding like the opposite of “free”. Plenty of other cases where they claim something is what it isn’t…
1. Schofield is brave
2. Quitting a sport mid-game is “brave”
3. Vaccinating kids is necessary
4. Islam’s defining characteristic is “peacefulness”
5. Illegal migrants coming from Calais are not treated well enough
6. Rashford’s mural was scrawled with racist graffiti
7. Emma Hayes is equal to Klopp, Ferguson, Clough, Guardiola, Cruyff and Lippi
8. Banning sold-out shows is an example of “inclusivity”
9. “Zero Covid” is a sensible, realistic, and beneficial policy.
10. James Corden is funny.
11. Man Like Mobeen is funny
All the above are obviously total bollocks
18
My two books are…
Great islam1c discoveries and inventions .
1slam’s contribution to civilisation.
They are short and easily read while you’re crimping off a length. Absorbant too.
13
I have already cancelled Waterstones – when I lat looked it only stocked shit by St Greta, St Marcus and other lefty and wimminz wank. Nothing by Raspail, Borman or Pierce. I even had to get my copy of ‘Crippled America’ online. Cunts.
6
On the Guardian website there is a nasty attempt to discredit Jordan Peterson by a chap called Dorian Lynskey. As well as writing for the Guardian he seeks to boost his gravitas by telling us that he was, for three years,the music critic of the Big Issue!

With a name like Dorian he has GOT to be a poofter!

If I were a publisher, I’d be like that great man of letters, Rupert Hart-Davies – I’d publishing anything, however esoteric, provided it interested me. With that in mind, the bad commercial titles would have to spiced up somewhat, so if you enjoy good literature perhaps you will help me out by buying something from the more populaar Boggs Books catalouge, such as:
Big And Bouncy: Conference special. This will include several full colour artistic and beautiful poses of Lisa Nandy, on the nude beach at Brighton, coyly posing with a large balloon and a stick of Brighton rock. Sadly it will also include pictures of Margaret Beckett in a Kiss-Me-Quick hat in several risque poses on the pier, involving a pair of gold lame’ bloomers, a distorting mirror and a 15″ dildo. Better imagined than described.
or perhaps you might prefer:
Gavin Williamson ” A Schoolmaster Remembers…… and then forgets again”
or
Anne Widdicombe’s book of Diets for the Over 60 (Stone)
another from our list is “The Boys Book of Ships, Planes and Nudes” a stockingfiller for the kids.
Our latest coffee table book, Peter Mandelson’s “Old Queens of New Labour” will be available from November when he will be doing a midnight book signing on Hampstead Heath. Max Factor paid a fee to sponsor the book and the forward was written by Eddie Izzard.
All these purchases will go towards publishing our next no-hoper in the commercial sector: “The Wit and Wisdom of Dominic Grieve”

“Old Queens of New Labour” 😂😂😂

I guess my delightful children’s story about little Malik blowing up a shopping centre is a no go then?

I like Jordan Peterson, he must’ve good if his name doesn’t appear on preemptive text
He’s a bit over my head to say the least but very convincing , as he backs up his discussion with scientific results from studies
I would think that he would be a shed load of fun to listen to if one was a fly on the wall in a private gathering
And that’s because he can’t speak freely with the constraints of the shit today.
