books about modern britain? (f**k the jannies ed.)

an actual inquiry into the state of the british isles would be ripe pickings for any third-rate houllebecq clone, yet there is not one even decent chronicler of our time. will self is too pleased about his smug boomer cleverness (real or imagined), martin amis too fairy and fart-huffing, sally rooney (pretty much a londoner with a vaguely irish accent) too cold and rigid in her autistic basic-bitch marxist pamphleteering, zadie smith and kate tempest too weepy and naive in their graffiti-is-street-art multiculti sentimentalism, and ian mcewan can just go fuck himself

is londonfrog the only real head remaining in albion?

People who see nothing wrong with lust, sex and masturbation are the biggest brainlets in the world. These people pictured are like animals, driven only by urges of hunger and copulation, puffed up by primordial pride.
