Slondonmorrah

Everybody wants freedom. Every nation wants freedom. Every organisation wants freedom. The press wants freedom. From the Garden of Eden to the present day, the quest for freedom continues unabated. Yet, no one has been able to define what precisely freedom is, thus subjecting it to an individual's or societal perception. The British Press, one of the freest and most powerful in the world, has its perception of freedom. And when professed press freedom colludes with perceived societal freedom in the climate of political correctness, there can only be one result, as espoused in this historical fiction, making it a must-read book. The reason is that no matter where you live, the British media, with its global reach and sway, has the power to influence and alter your perception. We know that today's world thrives on information. And the speed of information flow is what makes our world a global village. The British media has been at the forefront of worldwide information and has its tentacles spread all over the world. However, its world view is solely a reflection of British society. Thus, a globalised world is cocooned into British societal values and norms. The freedom experiment originating from Britain affects huge sections of the human populace, directly or indirectly. SLONDONMORRAH is an attempt to illustrate that no society is actually free in the real sense of the word. Freedom in a way is anchored on government policies which are at the very least, polarising. What others may perceive as freedom would seem ensnaring to the other side. The perception of freedom in Britain has been taken to unprecedented heights, and this has been used in this fictional work to argue that no society is free. Freedom is a relative term, unless objectively defined. And who defines freedom objectively except the giver of freedom who created the universe but from whom society has shied away – the reason it cannot equate freedom to its true meaning.
