An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge) by John O'Farrell, continues to go through various kings and get to how Richard the Lionheart only visited Britain twice yet virtually bankrupted the country . The author compares this to the Labour Government of the late seventies except Thatcher was the last PM of the seventies, and she destroyed the country with her spiteful economics.
Richard was succeeded by John Lackland, who was not much better, so they forced him to sign the Magna Carta.
I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.
I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog, which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est la vie.
The music is "Kings" by Steely Dan that mentions King Richard and King John
