About the Author

2025 and Onwards

Kenneth Thomas Webb also writes in his author name, Ian Bradley Marshall (IBM).

IBM is a Liverpool-based writer with a focus on poetry, history and politics.

His work explores themes of self-discovery and identity. Marshall has published five books: "Idle Thoughts: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose" (soft-back 2009), a collection of poems and prose, followed by its sequel "Meanderings: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose" (hard-back 2011) by Spiderwize.

In 2013, Author House published his major work, "Being Gay Being Bi Whatever," which tackles LGBTQI+ identity and experiences in the workplace across five decades.

Winter Stories is a collection of short stories in Kindle format.

This followed the successful short story, also on Kindle, Bluitt & Bodgitt about a Solicitors Practice in Liverpool, humorous but with a sinister twist.

A recent AI review in the spring 2025, was interestingly accurate. The website is a multifaceted platform featuring a wide range of content categories, including poetry, metaphysical writing, history, art, fiction, aviation, nature, and reviews. The site emphasises reflective and philosophical themes, with a strong focus on creative writing, metaphysical musings, and historical narratives. It also showcases visual art and multimedia, such as digital galleries and short video features. The tone is literary, contemplative, and often personal, appealing to readers interested in deep, cross genre explorations rather than commercial or genre fiction.

Ritas Anmerkung zu den Websites

Ich habe gestern Abend Ihre beiden Websites besucht. Die Luftfahrtseite ist eine wunderbare Informationsquelle. Ich fühle mich geehrt, dass Sie meine Textnachricht aufgenommen haben. Ja, diese Seite ist und bleibt absolut wichtig.

Die Hauptwebsite ist unter anderem ein großer, persönlicher und globaler politischer Dialog. Ich schätze Ihre umfassende Vision, Ihre allgemeine Perspektive, Ihre Lebenserfahrung und Ihre reife Einstellung zu persönlichen, vergangenen und aktuellen Themen. Tatsächlich ist diese Website wie ein riesiges Erfahrungsbuch, illustriert mit digitaler Kunst. Ich mag es sehr und wünschte, ich könnte es in meinen Händen halten.

In Bezug auf Ihre Website und Ihre persönliche Offenheit denke ich Folgendes: Möglicherweise haben Sie in den vergangenen Jahren viele tiefe Verletzungen erlebt, die Sie sehr vorsichtig gemacht haben. Aber seit etwa zwei Jahren haben Sie sich auf Ihrer Website öffentlich darüber gezeigt. Deshalb bin ich froh. Ich werde dich dabei immer unterstützen, Ken!

Die Tatsache, dass Sie einen Weg gefunden haben, damit umzugehen, der heute zu Ihnen passt, war nicht nur notwendig und eine Veröffentlichung, sondern zeigt auch, dass sich die Zeiten geändert haben. Sogar der Papst hat kürzlich begonnen, gleichgeschlechtlichen Paaren seinen Segen zu geben. Dies ist ein Anfang des Fortschritts. Leider ist dies in vielen Ländern auf der ganzen Welt noch nicht der Fall. Das beunruhigt mich sehr, weil es eine ständige Gefahr für Menschen darstellt, die dort leben oder diese Länder besuchen. Hoffentlich berühre ich dich nicht zu sehr, Ken. Es ist dein wunderbares, kostbares Leben, das niemand beurteilen darf. Ich stehe unabhängig bei dir, wo auch immer es sein mag.

I visited both of your websites last night. The aviation site is a wonderful source of information. I'm honoured that you included my text message. Yes, this page is and remains absolutely important.

The main website is, among other things, a large, personal and global political dialogue. I appreciate your comprehensive vision, your general perspective, your life experience and your mature attitude to personal, past and current issues. Actually, this website is like a huge book of experiences, illustrated with digital art. I like it very much and wish I could hold it in my hands.

Regarding your website and your personal openness, I am thinking this: You may have experienced many deep injuries in previous years that have made you very careful. But for about two years you have shown yourself publicly about it on your website. Therefore, I am glad. I will always support you in this, Ken!

The fact that you found a way to deal with it that suited you today was not only necessary and a release, but also shows that times have changed. Even the Pope has recently started giving his blessing to same-sex couples. This is a beginning of progress. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case in many countries around the world. This worries me greatly because it is a constant danger for people who live there or visit these countries. Hopefully I don’t touch you too much, Ken. It’s your wonderful precious life, which no one is allowed to judge. I stand with you independent wherever it might be.

2025

When dark minds have even darker intent, behold! The enemy, at our gate, has already breached our boundary. The threat to every nation, every community, that believes in freedom and democracy is the threat of invasion; the plunderer that lives by one code only…

What you have, I want! And I’m going to have it! And I am going to kill to get it!

I stand absolutely, and resolutely, by Ukraine, with Canada, with Greenland, with Panama.

I look for compromise. But Men, and women who worship those men, do not want compromise.

This Website

This Website covers a variety of subjects on 27 Platforms.

The website is British English, occasionally American English. Neither is wrong, “the difference of tempo”.

When dictators find common cause, when all civic institutions, the very lifeblood of a nation, are being undermined then indeed, ordinary people need to reflect long and hard upon that ancient saying…

It is only a matter of time before that which we dread most, will happen.
