Books: Have I Got News For You: Guide to Modern Britain
November 12, 2009
In Have I Got News For You: Guide to Modern Britain, (BBC
Books, £9.99), the team behind the hit BBC One news quiz offer
their views on everything from the Global Recession, MPs
expenses and the Royal Family to the NHS, Education and the
Media.
Using the Home Office’s guide to citizenship as their
inspiration, and with their trademark satirical tone, they aim to
help us understand exactly how the most ingenious, resilient,
resourceful and proudest people on earth became the Twittering,
touchy-feely, fame-obsessed, flu-fearing wimps that they are
today.
This is the book for all those that are fed up with….yet very keen to laugh at…our nation as a whole.
A ‘must-have’ for anyone who lives in the United Kingdom (even the 6.3 million extra people living here we don’t know anything about), this satirical guide explores the complexities of Britain’s history, government and society.
We have 5 copies to give away in our Book quiz.
