I am the author of the Bristolian Chronicles, several volumes of splenetic Juvenalian satirical literary fiction which are for sale on my website, where you'll also find my foetid and scabrous formal verse:- richardcraven.uk

The murder of Henry Nowak was a racist hate crime.
We always hear about the racial element when the victim is non white but never when the victim is white.
This was an anti white racist hate crime

The Hampshire police were accessories in the murder of Henry Novak. They should be imprisoned just like Derek Chauvin.
My website richardcraven.uk/ is now back up after 24 hours of maintenance, but is in any case going to be replaced with a totally funkadelic new one next week.
My occasional hobby:-
Type into your search engine "Where are you really from?", hit return, and you'll find loads of woke people who are offended by being asked where they're really from.
Ask them "Where are you really from?"

A man gaining access to women's rights does not mean he has become a woman; it means they are no longer women's rights.
Earlier in the week I had a 10 mile amble which included running 2.5 miles. Thankfully no weird sounds emanating from my ankle. No more running 10 miles x 2pw because of the chronic Achilles issues, but a 5 miler should be ok now and then.

After my morning weights/kettlebell/burpee/abs frenzy in the gym, I ventured on my 1st gingerly outdoor run since badly spraining my ankle in July. 3/4 of a mile in 9 minutes. Interesting cracking noises in my ankle for the 1st few hundred yds, ok after.

I was at home having my regulation Sunday evening pint, and my lodger returned from her Glastonbury weekend with a bottle of mead, so I had a glass of that too. Then I remembered I was supposed to start my annual sober November today. So now it's 2 Nov-1 Dec.

This apology from disability charity Scope, for cancelling my choir’s London Marathon performance because of my gender-critical views, is required to stay on its website for seven days.
Today is Day 6.
Women don’t always get the apologies they deserve. So I’d be grateful if you could help make sure this one is seen by sharing it over the next 24 hours (link below). 🙏
Thanks again to @SpeechUnion for supporting my legal case and helping secure this apology.
Disturbingly good AI French translation of my Ivry sonnet into an orthodox alexandrine sonnet, albeit with a rather shaky rhyme scheme.

I tried to get AI to set it too music as I have with one or two other sonnets, but it had an attack of the vapours

Here's my Shakespearean sonnet translation. "Crypt" instead of "well" is ok-ish, but on the whole I prefer the original.

Several banlieues outside the Peripherique in Paris. I wrote a sonnet about Ivry where I have friends; whom however I would like to visit again.
