THE GRIPES OF WRATH is guaranteed to make you laugh - and also make
your blood boil! This mind-blowing collection of absurd and yet
completely true stories, rules, claims, and crazy legislation
portrays the Britain that we have become, almost without realizing
it. Political columnist Simon Carr has scoured national and local
newspapers, Hansard parliamentary reports, the minutes of
parliamentary committee meetings, statements from quangos and local
councils to compile hundreds of true stories, anecdotes and events
that will prompt the scandalized response of: 'I don't believe
it!'. From political sleaze to massaged waiting lists, from barmy
health and safety concerns to bizarre compensation claims, everyone
who believes in justice, decency, fair play and common sense will
find something in this attractively produced book to infuriate
them.
