"Savage, hilarious - a fantastic read."
"Littlejohn slaughters more sacred cows than a foot and mouth epidemic. He makes you laugh out loud and drives you incandescent with rage at what the Blair years have done to Britain".

And if that wasn't enough:
The "Sunday" GUARDIAN review Littlejohn's new book!
Synopsis
Richard Littlejohn describes his job as sitting at the back throwing bottles. His twice-weekly columns have become an essential fix for millions of readers of the Daily Mail and the Sun over the past two decades. In "Littlejohn's Britain" he takes aim at the Blair years, lampooning New Labour with polemic, pastiche, parody, satire and savage social commentary. His cast of characters - including Two Jags, the Wicked Witch, Captain Hook and the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban - have become part of the fabric of the nation. "Littlejohn" ridicules the country Britain has become over the past ten years - the barmy bureaucracy, the surveillance state, the petty interference in our lives, the suffocating regulations, policeman and judges who think they're part of the social services, the insanities of the 'elf 'n' safety industry, which have created such idiocies as forcing revellers celebrating Guy Fawkes Night to watch a bonfire on a big screen.
Littlejohn has a bloodhound's nose for cant, hypocrisy and lunacy and an unparalleled talent for pouring scorn on the arrogance of the powerful, while making his readers roar with laughter. It's all here, in hilarious detail. Read The "Secret Sex Diaries of David Blunkett", sing along to "Two Jags: The Musical", take a ride on Blair Force One, play The Immigration Game and fight the Battle of Trafalgar under modern 'elf 'n' safety guidelines. 'Littlejohn has been ... a vivid exponent of a great British columnar style that stretches back five centuries or more. He's a distant, b*stard cousin of Thomas Nash, Daniel Defoe and Alexander Pope. Cassandra and Bernard Levin might justly buy him a pint in the Chesire Cheese. Like or loathe him, he's the real, talented deal.' - "Observer".

Littlejohn top of the charts! He thanks the Guardian and Independent!
A message from our leader!
Heartfelt thanks to all of you who have bought Littlejohn's Britain and propelled it to Number One in this week's non-fiction best-sellers chart.
Special thanks,too,for the glowing reviews and tributes from all my friends and admirers at the Guardian and the Independent, especially the excitable work experience trainee "Dirty" Hari, who appears to have a Littlejohn fixation.
I think he fancies me.

On Amazon there has been a 90 strong gang of Lefties taking the piss out of Littlejohn's book. One man has spoken out - me.
It's so brilliant, this site has been infested by Leftie activists!,
Reviewer: Krishnamurti "K" -
As someone who has ACTUALLY read the book I can honestly say it is brilliant, as only the genius Littlejohn can be. That's why he is so sought after, and gets paid so much more than the other poor saps. The fundamentalist Lefties who have "contributed" so far, hate him because he has given them such a pasting over the years. They really should stick to reading unpopular papers as the Guardian and The Independent. But normal grown ups will find this book a tonic and a delight.
