Product Description
Book Description
Littlejohn returns with a fiercely hilarious collection of pieces on the Brown Years
Product Description
The Daily Mail's most succesful columnist delivers the coup de grace to New Labour, as the nation voted them out of office. He is not only tough on Brown and the causes of Brown, but devastatingly funny about 'Elf and Safety', 'Yuman Rights', the Surveillance Society and all the bureacratic absurdities that make modern life worse than anything George Orwell ever imagined.
But, as the new introductory material reveals, the coalition of Lib Dem and Conservative also means same meat, different gravy. And already we have the first casualty of the cabinet in David Laws, another rich MP exploiting his position to claim expenses paid to his secret lover.
'Littlejohn has been ... a vivid exponent of a great British columnar style that stretches back five centuries or more. He's a distant, bastard cousin of Thomas Nash, Daniel Defoe and Alexander Pope. Cassandra and Bernard Levin might justly buy him a pint in the Chesire Cheese. Like or loathe him, he's the real, talented deal.' Observer

I've been following the media satirist Richard Littlejohn for many years and greatly enjoyed this latest collection of essays, recipes, poems and drawings. Littlejohn plays the character of an ultra-opinionated tabloid journalist who outrageously distorts the facts of his articles in order to match his various catchphrases, many of which are based around clever puns and worldplay.
I'd recommend this book to anyone finds Jeremy Clarkson's output a little too literate and left-wing.

Having a low IQ, conducting little or no research into my anecdotal statements, and telling my mates in the pub how we can put the world right I find Littlejohn just about the perfect read.
When I am looking for the perfect tale of half truthes, misrepresentation and crass journalism this book is my first call, I mean really - we all know human rights should only apply to white middle aged men.

Mr Littlejohn has done it again. He is such a brilliant writer that one can almost smell the bile dripping off each page. Such is its power it has left a permanent stain on my coffee table.
I lent the book to my friend and he has not laughed so hard in years - he didn't actually read the book however, but said the cover was hilarious. And how brave and selfless of Mr Littlejohn to plaster himself over that cover.
My cousin truly did love the book. He has a rare form of brain damage, but his opinion still counts.
Hurrah Mr Littlejohn! May your contempt of those fighting for social justice win through, may fear envelope us all, and may your personal anxiety be a shining beacon for Britain in the new decade. And may our PMs from now on never repeat Brown's mistakes and always be awash in hair product.

Great Richard, hang on it there.
Bought this for a friend who loves RL and catches his column every week in the Daily Mail. This man is hilarious, and makes so much common sense. Should be Prime Minister really. Read more
