95% Is Crap: A Plain Man’s Guide to British Politics

Summary

This book is a highly unusual, humorous, and down to earth exposition of the sheer humbug delivered continually by the vast majority of British politicians to the long-suffering public. The word 'politician' is used in a broad sense to include those industrialists, trade unionists and academics who influence political action, political journalists and economists, etc., as well as Ministers and Members of Parliament.
