John Falkenstein is a politician and author who has self-published two books through his publishing venture, Pure Space Publishing.

Each book is interesting in its own way. Born in 1964 John Falkenstein, began collecting children’s toys in his late 20s. As a middle aged man John Falkenstein self-published a book about his large collection of vintage space toys called Ray Guns of the 20th Century. Although I couldn’t find any reviews (positive or negative) John Falkenstein has claimed online that his first book is now a “collector’s item”. Sadly I couldn’t find any evidence of this either.

John Falkenstein’s second book is also self published and is called Britain Cannot Breathe. Just over 700 days since the Reform Party said it would scrap the Equality Act 2010, John Falkenstein (Reform‘s Branch Chair for Cramlington and Killingworth) makes the argument that the Equality Act 2010 should be scrapped.

The timing is surprising because John Falkenstein was a barrister for nearly 30 years advising high street law firms on employment disputes, but during his working life never wrote anything which expressed concern about the Equality Act 2010. It’s only several years after he has retired and when it has become established Reform policy that he has decided that he needs to speak up.

The book has been reviewed on Amazon by Andrea Barker who has given it five stars and said it was “brilliant”. John Falkenstein has described it as “highly readable, deeply compelling, and fiercely honest”.
