Where and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might
happen if we stay on our current course? In The Future of British
Politics, comedian Frankie Boyle takes a characteristically acerbic
look at some of the forces that will be key in coming years, from
Scottish independence and post-colonial entitlement to big tech
surveillance and the looming climate catastrophe. Despite his fears
that 'soon the only red tape in this country will be across the
finish line of the compulsory Food Bank Olympics', he manages to
locate some hopeful signs amid the gloom, reminding us that
'despair is a moment that pretends to be permanent'. This brief but
mighty book is one of five that comprise the first set of FUTURES
essays. Each standalone book presents the author's original vision
of a singular aspect of the future which inspires in them hope or
reticence, optimism or fear. Read individually, these essays will
inform, entertain and challenge. Together, they form a picture of
what might lie ahead, and ask the reader to imagine how we might
make the transition from here to there, from now to then.
