      James’ Tolkien analogy is crap. If anything, we’re at the chapter (which was unfortunately left out of the movies), “The Cleansing of the Shire.”🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1325312511453913089 …

      We're at "the treason of Isengard" part of the story, btw. The Democrats are Saruman. The orcs of the Red Eye and the White Hand are fighting amongst themselves, but the storm is coming. The media is Wormtongue, and Theoden has just started to stand up.

      And, yes, a brain fart led me to call it the “cleansing” of the Shire instead of the correct “The Scouring of the Shire.”😂🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ Oh, well. @StephenAtHome would be ashamed of me, particularly given how big a Tolkien fan I’ve been for well over 40 years.😢

      Getting Tolkien wrong. You realise a Twitter mob of beardy blokes will now demand that you are buried to the neck whist they throw hardback copies of The Silmarillion at you?

      I’ll do my penance, and reread all of my Tolkien works in order, just as they don’t take away my first edition copy of The Silmarillion, which I purchased when it was first published back in the 1970s. I then remember the store...

      The beardy blokes will have to put this to the tribunal. The first edition will no doubt be considered as mitigating evidence.

      Maybe they’ll also consider that I also have a first edition copy of Unfinished Tales as well...pic.twitter.com/9i3APSj1lL
