The Book Of Political Bollocks

There's no funnier antidote to a climate of spin and doublespeak than those moments when the political sound bite bites the speaker back, exposing the hypocrisy or downright stupidity of the people who decide how we live, and revealing the bollocks that so often lies behind the bluster. There's also a section on the royals! This side-splitting collection is not simply the best record of faux-pas, double-Dutch and bombast you'll find. With sections devoted to genuine humour from political commentators, historical figures, TV personalities as well as wiser politicians and leaders, there's plenty keep you laughing when all hope is gone on the political stage.

Mark Hanks and Ben Garrett are writers and editors who have nurtured an unhealthy obsession with the political animal to the point that they could only find comic relief in the painstaking task of compiling the most idiotic statements in recent history.
