THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. THE TRUTH IS WORSE THAN YOU THINK.THE JOB’S F*CKEDThe Secret Diary of a Police OfficerPolicing today is not what the public imagines.Beneath the uniform lies a profession suffocating under bureaucracy, political interference, and a leadership structure more concerned with optics than justice. Officers are stretched to breaking point, forced to navigate a world where insane decisions fail the most vulnerable, where criminals slip through the cracks, and where those on the front lines are left to absorb the trauma—alone.The Job’s F*cked – The Secret Diary of a Police Officer is an unflinching, insider’s account of a service on the brink of collapse. With brutal honesty, it exposes the chaos behind the badge, the failures the public never hears about, and the impossible pressures officers face every day.THIS IS THE BOOK THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO READ.

DUE TO THE FACTS THAT THIS NOVEL CENTRES AROUND, IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ARDENT UK CONSERVATIVE SUPPORTERS. (As the ugly, inconvenient truth which drives the fiction will spoil the story and also the reader's sense of virtue and righteousness.) For everybody else;Great Britain is going through austerity. Those affected worst are the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. People who have nothing, are having the tiny amount of money they receive in benefits taken away by a spiteful government hell bent on protecting the very wealthiest, and savagely attacking the very poorest. But the problem is being ignored, or overlooked by the British public, largely due to a corrupt system where most of the media is controlled by the same wealthy people that the government pander to.In Manchester, it seems that one man is determined to put this issue right in the spotlight. His methods are met with disgust and outrage by the population, as he attacks DWP staff from behind as they leave their work, causing them life-changing injuries which shock and upset the entire nation. The DWP workers refuse to show up for work, and the whole British welfare system is thrown into chaos. Pensions and benefit payments aren’t being processed and this looks like the biggest crisis to hit the blundering, incompetent government, since the last one.DCI Andy Miller is handed an open cheque-book, and all the resources that he needs to bring this shocking crime-wave to a swift conclusion. The government announce that extra officers are being used. But in austerity Britain, there are no extra officers. Only tired, under-paid and frustrated ones who hate the government just as much as the attacker seems to. Miller and his team are going to have to dig deep and come up with something extra special in order to put a stop to this madness. THE FINAL CUT, the 5th DCI Miller adventure.Miller 1 is "One Man Crusade"Miller 2 is "Neighbours From Hell"Miller 3 is "Road To Nowhere"Miller 4 is "Gone Too Far"WARNING, Contains bad language, including the worst one a few times.

Twenty-first-century America isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.This book explains why.Americans in the twenty-first century are becoming increasingly untethered from both reality and the essential principles and traditions that have shaped the nation’s historic success. A big part of why America isn’t working is because far too many Americans neither know nor care how it’s supposed to work.“William Cooper presents an insightful, sensitive, and accessible account of the trials that face American democracy in the twenty-first century. This fair- and broad-minded volume makes compelling reading for those who are looking to build a better democracy.”Alexander Yen, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford“Partisanship fuels personal convictions more than ever in our society, and convictions fuel mysided thinking and other cognitive biases. At no time have we needed this discussion of bias and partisan thinking more than now.”Keith E. Stanovich, author of The Bias That Divides Us“William Cooper logically and authoritatively takes you step by step through all the reasons a President Trump couldn’t imprison his enemies, pardon his friends, overrule judges, weaponize the Department of Justice, prosecute Joe Biden, or order the military to enforce his unconstitutional actions”Cleveland Plain Dealer“William Cooper is an insightful and thought-provoking writer about US politics. He deserves to be widely read.”Thomas Plate, former Editorial Page Editor, Los Angeles Times"In How America Works . . . and Why It Doesn’t, William Cooper gives a thoughtful, readable guide to what ails American democracy. Required reading for any student of political science.”Uri Kaufman, author of Eighteen Days in October"A must-read. His well-written and brief book covers a lot of important ground in a learned but accessible manner. Probably most noteworthy, though, is his astute and fair judgment—the book is not a polemic for the left or the right, but rather a fair appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of both. I highly recommend reading it—it is an enjoyable tour of key aspects of history (as well as current events), ethics, political philosophy, constitutional law, environmental science, and cognitive psychology—all told in a lucid, efficient way."William O'Donohue, PhD, Professor, University of Nevada, Reno Read more

A punch to the stomach' Sunday Times'Ebner has done some gutsy, thought-provoking research' Sunday Telegraph'Fascinating and important' SpectatorBy day, Julia Ebner works at a counter-extremism think tank, monitoring radical groups from the outside. But two years ago, she began to feel she was only seeing half the picture; she needed to get inside the groups to truly understand them. She decided to go undercover in her spare hours – late nights, holidays, weekends – adopting five different identities, and joining a dozen extremist groups from across the ideological spectrum. Her journey would take her from a Generation Identity global strategy meeting in a pub in Mayfair, to a Neo-Nazi Music Festival on the border of Germany and Poland. She would get relationship advice from 'Trad Wives' and Jihadi Brides and hacking lessons from ISIS. She was in the channels when the alt-right began planning the lethal Charlottesville rally, and spent time in the networks that would radicalise the Christchurch terrorist. In Going Dark, Ebner takes the reader on a deeply compulsive journey into the darkest recesses of extremist thinking, exposing how closely we are surrounded by their fanatical ideology every day, the changing nature and practice of these groups, and what is being done to counter them.

From award-winning journalist and writer Rick Morton comes Mean Streak, a gripping and horrifying account of how, over the course of four and a half years, Australia's government turned on its most vulnerable citizens.Shortlist ABIA Social Impact Book of the Year 2025 Robodebt was a new debt-creation system that was used to illegally pursue close to half a million Australian welfare recipients for fake debts generated by the thousands. It was described by the Royal Commission's report as a 'massive failure of public administration' caused by 'venality, incompetence and cowardice'. Essentially, Australians were gaslit by their own government, which doggedly and knowingly concocted a program that was both mathematically wrong and illegal, just to shake down innocent people for money, then lied about it for four and a half years. Robodebt is a historic and appalling political tragedy, a scheme created deliberately and sustained by institutional cowardice, clearly displaying the systematic contempt that a government had for its own citizens.Powerfully moving, deeply compelling and utterly enraging, Mean Streak reveals disturbing truths about the country we have become and the government that was. In the mode of a corporate thriller, this is a scouring cautionary tale of morality in public life gone badly awry - a story that is bigger than robodebt, and far from over.PRAISE FOR MEAN STREAK:'Searing, forensic and moving .. fuelled with rage and sorrow in equal measure, [Morton] walks us through one of the most shameful episodes in recent Australian politics, taking in prime ministers, pressured public servants, a whistleblower and case studies of the poor sods who were hunted down by their own government. A morality tale for our times.' Sydney Morning Herald'Morton's work is scholarly and precise [and] his rage is unmisstakeable, seething from every page ...

Superannuation was once a privilege granted only to company head office staff and career public servants. Now in Australia nearly all workers have access to employer-contributed superannuation, and it is a fundamental pillar of Australia's retirement income system.Workers' Capital tells the story of the Australian superannuation revolution led by trade unions in the 1980s. After a series of hard-fought industrial campaigns, an enormous financial industry was created, involving hundreds of thousands of employers and covering millions of fund members. From having one of the worst retirement savings systems in the developed world, in three decades Australia had one of the best. Now the funds held in Australian superannuation accounts exceed the entire market capitalisation of all the companies on the Australian Stock Exchange.Drawing on interviews with the key players and extensive archival research, Workers' Capital is the first systematic history of the unique Australian system of industry superannuation.'Startling and informative-I thought I knew a lot about the industry superannuation phenomenon, but this one took me by surprise. For a topic so important, a real page-turner.'Gerard Noonan, Chair of Media Super, former editor of Australian Financial Review Read more
