Her Violet Empire #1 (Title Coming Soon)
I thought as an introduction to my work, I'd post a snippet of the Prologue of my first book. It was released with the title Her Violet Empire, but I'm planning to relaunch it in the new year with a new title. Anyway, here's a couple hundred words to spark some interest.
Sebastian Taylor hated his first name and allowed no one to use it. Many suggested that he should use his middle name instead, but, in his estimation, Friedrich was a less-than-significant improvement. He insisted everyone call him Taylor. The dreary afternoon in Felixstowe crept toward a dreary evening. The sky seemed unable to decide if it was going to rain or not; instead, it proffered only a noncommittal drizzle. The damp never crossed Taylor’s mind anymore—it was always wet in some form or another here, and he had acclimatized to it.
The docks had become busy since the Chiarbola arrived, but this was the natural and happy state of a container port. Forklifts and gantry cranes hummed their diesel tunes, punctuated by the heavy, echoing clank of the shipping containers hitting their marks. As he strolled through the stacks, supervising the effort, he waved acknowledgments at the passing drivers and stopped to chat with a clutch of stevedores, who were awaiting the next lorry on which to load a shipment.
“Evenin’ Mr. Taylor. Dreadful night shapin’ up, eh?” one worker said.
“Not to worry, Thompson. You’ve already grown all the mold you’re likely to,” Taylor replied in jest.
Thompson grinned an unpleasant grin. Taylor had never sussed out whether it was the expression that was unpleasant or the face that wore it, but, either way, it seemed affable enough. He was about to continue his stroll on the docks when a klaxon sounded. Raised, shouting voices erupted from behind him. He spun to find the source and spotted one of the nearer container cranes flashing with warning lights. He fished the radio out of his pocket and turned up the sound. The chatter came fast and furious, and was almost indecipherable as English, but he could make out a couple of things: someone unauthorized was on Crane 4 and the container it held was now loose.
He didn’t remember starting into a full sprint, but that’s where he found himself, heaving toward the crane as fast as his legs would carry him. He looked ahead and up and saw the container dangling from the crane. It didn’t take a trained eye to spot that this was no accident, even though he was well below the massive, pivoting load. Something or someone had let two of the twist locks go on the spreader. Not good. The spreader wouldn’t hold a fully laden container on only two for long before they would shear off. If the container let go, the spreader, the container, the cargo, and the crane itself would all be total losses. He pictured the scenarios playing out in his mind as he ran and envisioned the crane toppling onto the deck of the ship. As the supervisor on duty, he could allow none of this to happen.
He had almost reached the crane’s base when he first noticed a pair of armed security men already climbing up the access ladders. One of them had gotten thirty feet up when Taylor hit the deck. “Did I trip?” he thought. He heard a man yell just before the second gunshot. When he lifted his head, the security men both lay motionless on the concrete under the ladder. “Why is someone shooting people on my docks?”
Let me know what you think!

As Good As Your Word. Some photographs from the Felixstowe Port protest a few weeks ago. After speaking with many of the workers that were protesting, I got to the heart of what was going on. I heard stories of broken promises and false information being delivered about profits and their pay, this wasn't a scenario of greedy dockers like what the papers were portraying but more the opposite. Those at the top gave minimal pay rises, if any, to a lot of workers with the guise of not being able to meet what they had been promised due to Covid having hit the port hard, but then after the most recent quarter, the published profits and bonuses of senior management showed a completely different story. They had made profits into the millions and this wasn't then shared down the chain as promised. You're only ever as good as your word and once that trust is broken, it takes a lot of time to rectify the wrongs. It's not time that fixes it, but action on behalf of your word. . . . . . . . #protest #protests #greed #corruption #lies #brokenpromises #thestory #activist #activists #bonus #pay #fairpay #social #people #streetgrammer #streetphotographer #streetphotography #photography #photographyhub #suffolkphotographer #docks #photographers #news #crowd #uk #felixstoweport #felixstowedocks #felixstowe #suffolk #england (at Felixstowe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci7g0ZsMzvL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strike hits Britain hard: Docker's Strike
Strike hits Britain hard. Britain is hit hard by the docker’s strike as the Liverpool dockers happen to be the first in action to contribute to the strike. The strike is scheduled to put itself into action on Monday night. They have demanded a strike for two weeks of over-payment issue. Strike action swept across Britain as ten thousand workers are set to go on a restrain period. The restraint is to follow for the next 10 days before the queen’s funeral today.
Liverpool Dockers: Strike
Liverpool dockers more than 500 in number will be the first in action on Monday night. The workers are set to strike for two weeks. The dockers from the Felixstowe who happens to be 1900 in number are already involved in an eight-day strike on 27 September. This week Friday they will come along with their comrades in Liverpool to display some solidarity. 170,000 workers will be out on strike.
The Strike Action
Meanwhile, Communications Union CWU and Rail Unions RMT, Aslef, and TSSA will take action together. Their action is dedicated to paralyzing the rail network and the postal services. Barristers, bin workers, college lecturers, airport workers, and cleaners have arranged their dates for the strike action. The Liverpool dockers who are members of the Unite have decided and rejected a 7 percent pay increase. The rejection is to ignite the reason for inflation which is hanging around 10 percent.
Dock owner’s decision
The dock owner’s proposal is described as a pay cut that tidied up itself as a rise. Peel Ports happens to be one of the five companies which own Britain’s ports including Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Unite thinks that £ 30 million profits have been made last year by the Liverpool operators. Liverpool docks are shut down by the company for Monday’s funeral. The company has plans to reopen it at 7 p.m. Tuesday is planned for the pickets which could be a big turnout.
Strike hits Britain hard: Docker's Strike
Further momentum in the Strike Action
September and October, both these months the Members of the University and College Council (UCU) will also take strike action. The strike action is planned for 10 days at the 26 further education colleges. The general strike dates are yet to be announced by the general union GMB. This decision regarding the strike is taken after the worker’s refusal as they voted willingly for action. The decision was finalized at Waltham Forest in London.
Participants of the Strike Action
30,000 firefighters and even more than that are set to vote for the strike action next month over pay. NHS nurses with the Royal College of Nursing will begin voting on strike action on 6 October. Labour is set to stage its annual conference in Liverpool from September 25 to 28. A Tory conference will run along with it in Birmingham and will be adorned by rail strikes. The dates are subjected to operate themselves on October 1 and 5.

The bbc won’t tell us this as they overtalked a segment of interview with a Felixstowe dock manager as he told the average wage of dockers, they apparently can’t manage on nearly £44000 a year, and hold the rest of us to ransom for a 10% pay rise. I wonder which organisation is stirring this up? It certainly smacks of gorgeous George Soros the master communist pot stirrer. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Port-of-Felixstowe-Docker-UK-Salaries-EJI_IE38936.0,18_KO19,25_IL.26,28_IN2.htm
