‘A wildly entertaining but uncomfortable read … Pitilessly brilliant’ JONATHAN COE.
‘There will not be much political writing in this or any other year that is carried off with such style’ The Times.
A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR.
‘A quite brilliant dissection of the cultural roots of the Brexit narrative’ David Miliband.
‘Hugely entertaining and engrossing’ Roddy Doyle.
‘Best book about the English that I’ve read for ages’ Billy Bragg.
A fierce, mordantly funny and perceptive book about the act of national self-harm known as Brexit. A great democratic country tears itself apart, and engages in the dangerous pleasures of national masochism.
Trivial journalistic lies became far from trivial national obsessions; the pose of indifference to truth and historical fact came to define the style of an entire political elite; a country that once had colonies redefined itself as an oppressed nation requiring liberation.
Fintan O’Toole also discusses the fatal attraction of heroic failure, once a self-deprecating cult in a hugely successful empire that could well afford the occasional disaster. Now failure is no longer heroic - it is just failure, and its terrible costs will be paid by the most vulnerable of Brexit’s supporters.
A new afterword lays out the essential reforms that are urgently needed if England is to have a truly democratic future and stable relations with its nearest neighbours

A book for Remoaners to wallow in self-pity as they sleep walk into the technocratic hellscape of the coming fourth industrial revolution.

@Thamus Brexit has been a colossal failure and already cost the UK more than shutting down most businesses for extended periods of time during lockdown.
Project fear turned out to be project reality and even the people who negotiated the terms of brexit are finding it impossible to stick to what they agreed to.
The only people who are still ignoring this fact and pretending that Brexit was anything positive are the ones who voted in the Tories and are wilfully turning a blind eye to the complete ineptitude and corruption that’s gone on over the past decade.
Seems reasonable to assume that since you’re on this site you’re likely working class. So you sure as hell aren’t any better off after a decade of Tory rule than before, so no idea why you’re defending any of this mess.

@Thamus - Do you mean you are a Brexiter that can read?
