The haters have turned out to be your best publicists ! Such an important book . Alison Pearson has mounted a sterling defence in the Telegraph today . Front page

Yes, about to record a podcast with her too, helpful piece

Now, the book needs to be savagely boiled down to the minimum words and punchy images, put in a leaflet that MASSIVELY distributed and printed or 'the right' will fail again. One hugely effective tactic is 'commuter station leafleting'. I've seen this done to great effect. Get 50 keen supporters off their backsides to help. Pick 25 stations around London. 2 helpers per station 7am to 9am. Dish out to commuters rushing to the train, they grab and go, don't stop to debate - NOW you have a captive audience reading your leaflet on the train, some take it with them, some leave them on the trains for others to read. Then they text/tweet/tell their friends, spread the message, to exactly the right demographic. ps. I've ordered the book.

That's a brilliant idea!👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Great book Matt. Ignore the haters! I do wonder though if Owen Jones will have such scrutiny with his new book?

Matt Goodwin's avatar

He did ask to interview me for it! I politely declined ...

Olwen Thomas's avatar

Haha, don't blame you.

Mary Robinson's avatar

I think you would have made mincemeat of him were he to permit you to speak!

Susan Richardson's avatar

Bought it through Amazon and it has arrived. Just about to start reading it.

Potty Bird's avatar

Me too, can't wait!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

In fact, Matt, this was apparent during the early days of the brainwashing of the public over ‘climate change’. The opposing scientists were not given the air of publicity……the climate change decision had been made by the elite/government and all opposition was shut down. And how did that work out folks?? Do we really believe that Miliband, for gods sake, is the scientific genius saving us from doom? What you have managed to do, Matt, is shoot their fox on immigration - and you deserve the success your book has received. All the nay sayers will come to learn their fate sooner than they think, if your data is not accepted and if Reform do not get power. And sadly at that point the rush from the UK of all tax paying, hard working individuals will be enormous…..for who would want their children to be brought up in the resulting mayhem, crime and scum. And then what do the socialists do for money!

Couldn’t agree more, Rosemary. The only people who get publicity are the Pro-Climate change supporters. Those who oppose it don’t get that public platform.

Ofcom have explicitly instructed all journalists in writing that there is no need to give balanced reporting on climate change! I wonder why?! 👍

Well done Matt! Unfortunately I have yet to read my copy…one of those from which the Post Office is trying to wring additional postage. Worth it to get my book though! So proud of what you have achieved.

Matt Goodwin's avatar

Hi Gerry, please email us at matt@mattgoodwin.org and we can help resolve this issue.

Me too! When I coughed up the extra £1.50 to get my copy from the Post Office it appeared that the distributor had tried to get away with posting it as a large letter at £1.80. As we had paid £5.50 for postage and packing, I thought this was a bit mean of them!

Hi Jacqueline, please email us at matt@mattgoodwin.org and we can help resolve this issue.

Potty Bird's avatar

My copy arrived yesterday, and the title of it on the outer packaging was blacked out with a marker pen! Disgusting!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Susan Doherty's avatar

Same thing happened to me.I had to pay £1.50. Looking forward to reading it 👍👍👍

It’s a great book Matt, part way through it and it really explains what is happening in this country. Thanks very much for all you’ve put into it.

Matt Goodwin's avatar

Thanks Kathleen - glad you enjoyed it

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

Really pleased for you Matt, very well done and many thanks for all your hard work in spreading such important information. Your efforts can only help to wake people up which in turn will benefit all of us.

Btw, I’m thinking of buying a second copy to leave somewhere prominent in a local shopping centre, with a message inside to say ‘please read with an open mind and pass on when you’ve finished.’ It may just wake up a few more.

Ian's avatar

A really nice idea, but somehow I suspect the first freedom loving leftie to see it would destroy it. Maybe try donating one to a library? 👍

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

Good point! Or maybe a charity shop. A library might refuse to accept it.

Dee Harris's avatar

Well done Matt. It's a great book, and tells a story worth repeating until the majority of voters get a Reform government that works for the good of the indigenous people of this country.

Dave Woolcock's avatar

If there is a demand why hasn’t a conservative book publisher emerged?

Matt Goodwin's avatar

I think there are some now, such as Forum.

A.'s avatar

Since the 90s at least, there have been book publishers in North America producing conservative-themed books. Not so unusual.

Mary Robinson's avatar

I'm thinking about going to my local library to order it but they'll probably report me to the police!

Ian's avatar

😂😂👍

The tide is definitely turning. Soon enough it will be a question of get un-woke or go broke.

Robert Bruce's avatar

Received my copy yesterday. Well done Matt and thank you for all the leadership, courage and determination you show. Keep going

Mary Robinson's avatar

Remember how a few people who went after Kate Clanchy for her supposed "racism" almost destroyed not only her career but her life. They'd do the same to JKR but she's too big to cancel.

Congratulations on the success of Suicide Of A Nation, Matt. Especially as you deliberately and successfully, circumnavigated the feeble minded, hand wringing, liberal lefties to present the book as you wanted it to be.

Interesting how you describe how the publishing "gate keepers", dilute and edit almost all books into their idea of "acceptable" material. I am currently reading Robert Galbraith's (aka JK Rowling) The Hallmarked Man and it is noticeable the number of times there seems to be a pointless, but deliberate and derogatory, reference to something Donald Trump supposedly said. Either the great author really hates Trump, to bother with such unnecessary asides, or someone else edited them in there. Either way, it fits perfectly how you describe in publishing, as in all other walks of life, how ideologically driven people want to "steer the conversation", even in a fictional book.

Susan Doherty's avatar

Gosh ,I just received my copy of it ,via Amazon.!! I always buy JKR's books .x

Ian's avatar

Afaik JKR's only problem with the left is the trans issues, so her taking swipes at Trump seem more likely than her allowing anyone else to corrupt her script even though Trump has probably done more than any other politician recently to protect women. 🙄👍

Foxtrot Oscar's avatar

When the left are spitting feathers, and having a fit, you know you have hit a nerve by telling the truth they don't want to hear.....well done Matt!!

A.'s avatar

I wanted to say Congratulations Matt! For all that supposed mighty spirit of Britannia, I notice that not many Brits are doing much about the state of affairs over there. Hard to believe that Britain is sinking so fast and so low.

I am not certain that Nigel Farage is the fellow to pull it all together, but who else have you got, just now? The uni-party Labour/Conservatives is certainly not coming to Britain's rescue. In fact, they are pulling the plug!
