Review
'Will strike fear into the hearts of politicians, assuming they have hearts. You won't know whether to laugh or rise up and overthrow absolutely everything.' --Charlie Brooker
'A wonderful book ... Heather Brooke puts every other British journalist to shame. She single-handedly exposed the systemic corruption that had become an embedded part of parliament at the turn of the 20th century. In doing so she has changed British public culture and earned an essential place in our national history. She is an extraordinary figure who must be celebrated.' --Peter Oborne
'Secrecy is one of the great British diseases. It's so secret that we don't even admit we suffer from it. Heather Brooke is part of the cure - challenging the routine concealment and distortion of important information. There should be more journalists doing the same.' --Nick Davies, author of FLAT EARTH NEWS
`A hero of our troubled political times' --Sunday Times
`Passionate, eloquent and persuasive' --The Times, Book of the Week
`***** If you care about our so-called democracy, you must read this profoundly shocking book' --Mail on Sunday
`She's a total ninja' --Ben Goldacre, author of Bad Science
