Liddle on JG Ballard

There is a good piece on the author JG Ballard who died earlier thsi week in the Spectator by Ron Liddle who quotes the author

‘I believe in the mysterious beauty of Margaret Thatcher, in the arch of her nostrils and the sheen on her lower lip; in the melancholy of wounded Argentine conscripts; in the haunted smiles of filling station personnel, in my dream of Margaret Thatcher caressed by that young Argentine soldier in a forgotten motel, watched by a tubercular filling station attendant.’


Apparently he also wanted American missiles stationed in his back garden
