London England: Guardian Books, 2012. Hardback. First Edition. House of Fun. Here are the finest and funniest, covering everything from John Major's government through to today's coalition, including special guest appearances by Margaret Thatcher. They will make you laugh, gasp, and sometimes even wince with embarrassment. Read about glorious leaders such as Tonly Plain, with his verb-free sentences that imply everything but promise nothing; Gordon Brown, equal parts Stalin and Mr. Bean; and now David Cameron, who really, really hates being drawn with a condom on his head. Let's not forget the other parliamentary players: John prescott, who can wrestle the English language to the man and win by two falls to a submission; Michael Fabricant, who appears to have stolen his hairpiece from the tail of a My Little Pony; Sir Peter Tapse;;. a grandee so grand that when he rises to speak, Hansard writers are replaced by a crack team of monks to write up his words in illuminated lettering; and, of course, Nick Clegg, whose default expression recalls someone whose puppy has gone missing. Irreverent, barbed, but most of all extremely funny, this book looks at the last two decades in the Westminster village. 346 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback., Guardian Books, 2012, 4.5<
