Product Description

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 31 July

"An entertaining and thought-provoking mixture of extraordinary research and satirical analysis."


Review

"An entertaining and thought-provoking mixture of extraordinary research and satirical analysis." (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 31 July )

"Devotees of their acclaimed television show will love this new 'dossier' from Bremner, Bird and Fortune. Others should read it, not least because it is very, very funny... where this book really packs a punch is in its assembly of hard facts about international affairs and British society. Satire might not be dead, but the world today, it seems, is truly beyond parody." (THE OBSERVER, 7 August )

"..paints as accurate a picture as possible of where we are now and how we got here." (Ben Snowden ECOLOGIST, 1 Mar )

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more than Moore, 9 Jan 2005
By Mr. C. Patmore - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Are Here (Hardcover)
Forget about Michael Moore, if you live in Britain this is a must read for anyone even mildly interested in current politics and the state of our nation. Their TV special "Between Iraq and a hard place" was one of the best pieces of satire I have ever seen because it reported the facts which were so laughable that they couldn't have been invented. And so goes the book. It is well researched, impartial (all political parties are fair game to them) and filled with subtle humour and irony that Americans so often lack. This book is no joke though, and the facts and information it imparts are often shocking and frightening - and without a hint of extreme conspiracy theories. A brilliant read.

5.0 out of 5 stars For idealists and politicians everywhere, 21 Dec 2004
By Gavin Wilson - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Are Here (Hardcover)
For me, this is the book of the year. No book has so incisively contrasted all the pre-1997 of the Labour party in opposition with the actions of Tony Blair et al once they got into government.

Every politician should read this book. Everyone thinking of forming a new party, or thinking of standing for the most minor committee post on a parish council, should read this book. You think you can solve the world's problems? Read this. It's essential to compare the idealism you can display when you have no responsibilities with the pragmatism needed once you think you are responsible for everything.

The irony is that Bremner, Bird and Fortune are writing from a left-of-centre perspective. They are no friends of the Tory Party whatsoever. But the Tories and the Liberal Democrats should certainly read this in their preparation of their election campaign materials.

Apart from one very short chapter, the authors offer no solution to the problems they so ably point out. They are even more effective in pointing out the inconsistences between what people say and what they do, or what they say one year and then say the next year. As you might expect of a political book published in 2004, it majors on Iraq.

With luck, when future historians try to assess the Blair governments, they will use this book as one of their prime sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars witty, informative and completly hilarious, 8 Jan 2005
By Toast (London, UK) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: You Are Here (Hardcover)
Any fan of Bremner, Bird and Fortune on channel 4 or any other form of politcal satire for that matter will love this book. As funny as the writers are on tv, you cannot help hearing the three of them reciting the passage of the book that you are currently reading as you laugh and sometimes fume at the state of government.

Like the cover says it is not so much a book but a dossier, with a wide collection of cartoons, documents and other bits and pieces which are mostly intresting and great to read.

This book is not suitable for anyone who likes politicians, who is proud of government and the state of the country... and wishes to keep it that way. You'll never see politics in the same light again.
