Crap Summary

Crap: A Guide to Politics by Terry Arthur

Behind the jokey title and the lively, entertaining style, Terry Arthur has produced a devastating expose of the intellectual confusion, political deception and economic ignorance that have come to dominate public pronouncements. His precision of thought, clarity of language and lightly-worn scholarship have resulted in a book that would have won the warm approval of George Orwell. - Antony Jay, Co-author, Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. Mr Arthur has presented us with a user's manual to politicians. Anyone who reads it will not merely laugh out loud, but will be armed against all future attempts by the political class to lie, obfuscate and prevaricate. To this end some philanthropist should pay for a copy to be sent into every household in the land. - Simon Heffer, Associate Editor, Daily Telegraph.Taking its inspiration from Terry Arthur's thirty year-old classic 95 per cent is Crap: A Plain Man's Guide to British Politics, this is a down-to-earth expose of the crap still being peddled by leading politicians today. Humorously but devastatingly written, Arthur exposes twelve very different sorts of political crap. Irreverent yet brilliant, this guide is essential reading for everyone who is sick of 'spin' - or worse.
