Spotters’ Guide

by Neil Fulwood / April 2nd, 2017

Here’s to the media (neutral, understated)
for kindly explaining how it all goes down:

mentalist cuts loose with weapon (black) –
socio-economic, drugs, gang-related;

mentalist cuts loose with weapon (brown) –
Muslim, radicalised, terror attack;

mentalist cuts loose with weapon (white) –
troubled loner, sympathy for his plight.

Neil Fulwood has published three collections with Shoestring Press, ‘No Avoiding It’, ‘Can’t Take Me Anywhere’ and ‘Service Cancelled’. A collection of political satires, ‘Mad Parade’ has just been published by Smokestack Books. Neil lives and works in Nottingham. Read other articles by Neil.
