5.0 out of 5 stars Right on!, 17 Jan 2008

By	A. Norton (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An essential read. At last someone who can articulate what 90% of the population really thinks. As a bonus it is extremely funny. Britain's P.J.O'Rourke. Lend it to anyone you are uncertain about to check that they are human - or pompous humourless tossers not unlike some of the reviewers

5.0 out of 5 stars How to win, 4 Aug 2007

By	Stephen Reed "AT79" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From global warming, education, fair trade, live aid, hospitals, the welfare state, this book is a handy compilation and summary of everything you've thought was wrong in the last ten years of rampant socialism in the UK.

While nothing at all will be new to readers it is exactly what it says on the tin; "The essential guide to making lefty liberals history".

It is the kind of Conservatism that excites and amuses and is strangely alluring in its subversiveness. Exactly what Conservatism needs to appeal to the broader base that Cameron has so lamentably failed to locate and capture.

I've have read just about everything from Melanie Phillips and Civitas and all the other usual suspects in the field of Conservative contrarianism and while all of which is on reasonably solid ground, nothing makes you feel you're on the winning side quite like this book.

In this ponderous age where the Conservative Party has all but abandoned us, what is needed more than anything is an appealing and more crucially, accessible vision of Conservatism that really communicates with the internet ravaged, attention deficit disorder generation. This is it.

Cameron is right in trying to appeal to the young and trendy but if only he would do as Delingpole has and appeal to young and trendy Conservatives.

4.0 out of 5 stars It' s great - buy it now!!!, 31 Jul 2007

By	Mr. JD Williams (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The only people who think this is a racist book are the sort of irritating, right-on, tedious people that the author is poking fun at. Wouldn't it be just dandy if we could put them all in a huge Greenpeace ark in the middle of the Atlantic and fire an enormous nuclear rocket at the lot of them?

Thus freeing up houses, schools and jobs in posh parts of London for the poor, deprived people they profess to care so deeply about.

You don't have to be left-wing to be unimpressed with this. There's little of substance in the book and while he's occasionally funny, it's not often enough. Read more
