Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Aug 2008

It is a great and glorious tradition the world over - to vehemently state one thing and then do the exact opposite. Royals are doing it, reformed smokers are doing it, and politicians are virtually synonymous with it. Welcome to the heyday of hypocrisy.

From the Everyday Hypocrites (cyclists, white hip-hop fans, reality television-haters) to the truly pungent Stinking Hypocrites (chav-haters, green campaigners and anti-Americans), Julie Burchill and Chas Newkey-Burden pull no punches in their witty harangue of those who shamelessly say one thing and do another. Featuring modern hypocrites' favourite holiday destinations, musical and sporting heroes, and the hilarious Hypocrites' Ultimate Weekend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and captivating read 27 Dec 2009

By G. Wigmore

Format:Paperback

The best argument to read this book comes from the One Star Reviews here - what a babble! No arguments, just smear and hate, which is too prevalent in debate today. Why not read it and make your own mind up.

Is it true? That's the question you need to answer.
Well done Julie. My copy has been passed around a fair bit now and always gets people talking and ASKING QUESTIONS!

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you like being challenged? 26 Jun 2009

By Matt

Format:Hardcover

There are far too many books that preach to the converted. But the appeal of Not In My Name is that it doesn't take sides. Well, of course it does - nearly every page is crammed with superstrength opinions. But it certainly doesn't play it safe. Everyone who reads this book - left, right, gay, straight - will find their own particular hypocrisies glaring back at them. Like a good rant with the best kind of drinking buddies, while I certainly disagreed with Burchill and Burden more than a few times, I finished the book grateful for having my (green, lefty, white, middle class, straight) assumptions about the world challenged, and the evening - to stretch the metaphor - definitely finished with high fives outside the kebab shop. On some issues I came away with my own convictions stronger in defiance of theirs, but on others they convinced me the world isn't quite the way I might lazily have assumed it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended 1 Oct 2008

By Lizzie Brooks

Format:Hardcover

This is an excellent book. The chapter exposing the hypocrisy of the green/global warming movement is worth the cover price alone. The authors have put into writing the thoughts of the silent majority. Thank you for having the courage to say what the mainstream press won't publish.

The title of this book spells out its thesis: that the chattering classes are a bunch of self-regarding thought police. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Self-righteous, ranting drivel

I could barely get past the first page. A load of old opinionated faff. I think we know who the hypocrites are, we need only look at the cover.

At first glance this looked like my sort of book, an exposure of liberal hypocrisies by insiders who had 'seen the light'. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars No Julie no!!!

If you want simplistic, almost childlike analysis of important topics like Iraq and Israel this is the book for you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing - it's heartening to see that age has failed to dampen Julie Burchill's creativity. Read more
