Never heard of her or her books, but I'm going to buy at least one now. The British government is as fascist as our U.S. Republican administration.

A terrorist group is an organized clandestine group that uses unlawful violence, intimidation, or coercion against civilians or infrastructure to achieve political, ideological, religious, or social goals. With that said people should not donate to the Republican Party.
