Book Description
"Titanic Britain: 50 Years of the Left-Wing Liberal Iceberg" is an enlightened and satirical analysis of how half-a-century of left-wing Liberal ideology, propaganda and policies have transformed Britain from what was once a great nation into a quivering shadow of its former self. Often humorous, politically-incorrect and always on-the-edge the author, a successful businessman and landlord, challenges Liberal ideologies which have spread throughout British and American societies over recent decades, on many aspects of their disastrous interference in areas where they have no business to be. From Liberal's softly-softly approach to crime, their appeasement of Islam the Religion of Peace and the strange idea that there is any real poverty whatsoever in Britain and other western-style civilised societies, nothing is too sacred to avoid his wrath. He redefines the word "poverty" so it can be applied equally and genuinely anywhere in the world and makes terms such as "relative poverty" and "the unequal excluded" completely obsolete. Critical of the Militant LBGT and Trans Brigade and annoyed with the "poor", who have been appropriating tax-payers money with Government complicity for generations. He is also cross with councils and local authorities who wilfully ignore the diabolical state of our roads in order to squander money on their own left-wing projects and he's not too keen on Islam either. Some Muslims won't like it, the bone-idle "poor" won't like it, Militant gays won't like it, the polytechnics masquerading as universities won't like it and nor will their left-wing students, who will have to cover their eyes and ears and hide away in their "safe spaces". Most of all, their Liberal apologists won't like it, they won't like it at all, which is why the vast majority of normal, intelligent people in Britain and other western-style societies should read it. Many Americans, Canadians and Australians will be amazed when they read about a side of Britain they rarely get to hear of and the shocking ideology which Liberalism inflicts upon the population here, as well as in their own countries. Using Britain as an example the author cuts through all the Liberal mealy-mouthed excuses and distraction techniques, to reveal the extensive problems we now face in western societies, and proposes radical solutions which must be undertaken by our governments and others in order to restore our societies to their former glory. Racialism, poverty, homophobia, transphobia and Islamophobia all come under the spotlight and are subject to his analytical mind and keen wit. Anyone who is sick to death of being told what to think and say by left-wing Liberals will love it including Conservatives, UKIP supporters, Leave EU voters, Republicans and Christians, in fact people of all races and religions. This is a book for everyone, except left-wing Liberals and Militant Remaniacs, who should only read it in their "safe space".
The Nazi Titanic

Book Description
Built in 1927, the German ocean liner SS Cap Arcona was the greatest ship since the RMS Titanic and one of the most celebrated luxury liners in the world. When the Nazis seized control in Germany, she was stripped down for use as a floating barracks and troop transport. Later, during the war, Hitler's minister, Joseph Goebbels, cast her as the "star" in his epic propaganda film about the sinking of the legendary Titanic. Following the film's enormous failure, the German navy used the Cap Arcona to transport German soldiers and civilians across the Baltic, away from the Red Army's advance. In the Third Reich's final days, the ill-fated ship was packed with thousands of concentration camp prisoners. Without adequate water, food, or sanitary facilities, the prisoners suffered as they waited for the end of the war. Just days before Germany surrendered, the Cap Arcona was mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force, and nearly all of the prisoners were killed in the last major tragedy of the Holocaust and one of history's worst maritime disasters. Although the British government sealed many documents pertaining to the ship's sinking, Robert P. Watson has unearthed forgotten records, conducted many interviews, and used over 100 sources, including diaries and oral histories, to expose this story. As a result, The Nazi Titanic is a riveting and astonishing account of an enigmatic ship that played a devastating role in World War II and the Holocaust.

Pages : 386
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America. But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it. As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America. Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival.
