Amid stories of doom and gloom, in 1993 Paddy Ashdown set off to
see for himself what was going on in Britain. He travelled up and
down the country - from Cornwall to Orkney - spending time on
housing estates, in schools and factories, with social workers and
policemen, working alongside miners, dustmen, farmers and
fishermen, talking to pensioners, gay rights activists, town
planners, schoolchildren. And he discovered an astonishing and
unexpected fund of strength, courage and resourcefulness. This book
is a journal of his travels and paints a vivid portrait of Britain
today. All is far from well - the recession has hit hard and daily
life for millions is a struggle. But time and time again, the
author was struck by the way that local communities have found ways
forward, ingenious solutions to problems that from Westminster look
insoluble.
