Traveling by Vespa & by ferry, Fort tours the islands at his leisure. He takes us to Elba, where Napoleon was once imprisoned; to Salina, famous for its capers, just as Pantelleria is famous for its dessert wine; to Pianosa, where dangerous Mafia bosses were kept & which Joseph Heller used as the setting for Catch-22; to Capri, where Maxim Gorky ran a school for revolutionaries which was visited by Lenin & Stalin... To all of Italy`s 52 islands which he has never written about before.

In the three short weeks between the EU referendum on 23 June 2016 & Theresa May`s ascent to Downing Street on 13 July, Brexit morphed into a mass murderer, destroying everything it touched. As the Bullingdon boys, David Cameron & George Osborne, were sensationally whacked, Mafia-style, the Cabinet was drained of blue blood & the tight-knit Notting Hill Set torn asunder. Michael Gove stabbed fellow Brexit cheerleader Boris Johnson squarely in the back, while Jeremy Corbyn joined the ranks of the living dead, as twentythree shadow Cabinet members deserted him. Even Nigel Farage, the only victorious party leader in the referendum, resigned the UKIP leadership, days after the vote. So how did Brexit turn into this weapon of mass political destruction?
