Product Description
As a journalist for the Sunday Telegraph and The Spectator, James Delingpole has expressed his thoughts - articulately and amusingly - on everything from politics to popular music, from school sports days to spliffs. If you've thought about it, he's written about it. In this A-Z collection of brief essays he turns his lively mind to modern society gone mad. And what he discovers is that the older you get, the more mad it seems.
Can't understand what's wrong with much-loved feet and inches? Don't believe the global-warming hype? Wondering what ever happened to good, old-fashioned universities? Well, join James's club. Pouring scorn on the state of Britain after a decade of Blair and Brown, How to be Right couldn't have come along at a more appropriate time. Prepare to foam and splutter, and to be seriously entertained.

From the Back Cover
Does political correctness drive you crazy? Do barmy health and safety regulations, breeding speed cameras and non-competitive sports days get your goat? Wondering exactly when rock stars became our only hope for world peace? And why, if a child in Africa dies every time Bono claps his hands, he can't just ruddy stop it? Frank, fearless and funny, HOW TO BE RIGHT is a riotous A-Z romp through everything that's wrong with modern Britain and its dark forces of PC. From car crime to compensation culture, to vegans and victims, prepare to foam and splutter. Prepare to laugh darkly. Prepare to take no prisoners.
