About this ebook

Thick and Fast deals with one of the last and least attended inequalities that still plague mankind - intellectual discrimination.What is addressed here is the inherent snobbery of intelligence in society as a whole. How the menial, underpaid tasks fall on those with a low I.Q. How they are duped and used, humiliated and abused, simply because they are unable to understand the mechanisms necessary for their emancipation.
Here is Ambrose Ork, the live-in handyman at Haute House, who was born thick. By contrast Harvey Paulson, the new owner of the mansion, was ambitious, unscrupulous and as fast as they come.
So when a tragic accident took place it was clear from the outset who would take the blame, and who would come out unscathed.
Because there was nothing someone as slow as Ambrose could do to change things.
Or was there?
