    A quote from ‘Britannia Unchained’ by Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and Elizabeth Truss. Order your copy now! Here are a few reader reviews:

    “It's terrifying to contemplate this group of ideological, economic illiterates in power for another 5 years determined to make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.”

    “This book is shallow, uses deeply unpleasant and devisive language, particularly the sections concerning points based immigration systems…”

    “If this book is a reflection of the level of intellectual, social, cultural and economic knowledge of the individuals who have put their name to it then it is genuinely terrifying to think that they are now all ministers, some holding senior cabinet posts.”

    “One truly wonders whether the authors have any intellectual ability or are simply ambitious yet untalented clowns.”

    Is this a surprise to anyone they're Tories that's their starting point, ordinary working people are workshy wasters who deserve no rights little pay and should be treated with contempt, page 1 line 1 of the Tory handbook. Which makes it all the more extraordinary that so many working people are taken in by them and even more incredibly vote for them. They've played this country for fools over Brexit and now the chickens are coming home to roost, well they are if they can get a lorry to bring them :D. The Tories are a party of complete ******** and always have been the only difference now is they're talentless ******** led by the clown prince of ********

    Clearly absolute rubbish. I for one am extremely proficient at idling, with several years of intensive experience.

    Liz Truss is that girl at school who every lad had a story to tell.

    Old news. Unfortunately unknown to the vast majority of people in this ignorant country of ours. I say ignorant because we have media which largely don't inform the masses and masses which don't seem to want to be informed.

    Me too, been deliberating over procrastinating for years and years, might do it one day, maybe not. I'll have to have a long think about it before considering it.
