review 1: Very short book by the comedian Mark Thomas. Loved his TV work in the past and have enjoyed reading this book. Although it was too short it has made me want to read more of his books. The manifesto consists of policies suggested by the audience from Mark Thomas' tour in 2009. Particularly enjoyed No. 3 "Models should be chosen at random from the electoral roll". An easier and funnier read than Mr Marx's manifesto!
review 2: I like Mark Thomas, the British Socialist (with a big capital "S") activist/comedian. He cuts to the heart of what he percieves to be wrong with current British politics.His idea for this book was to go around and ask 'the great unwashed' what sort of governmental changes they would like, then publish them.Lots of the suggestions I found qui... morete sensible and funny, too. I dunno, though - I suppose I was hoping for more radical, anarchic ideas. I suppose Thomas's dyed-in-the-wool Socialist tendencies prevented it from getting too far out. less
